The Risk & Controls Manager is a core member of the Business Transformation Program Operations team and serves as the business authority for risk, controls, and segregation-of-duties (SoD) requirements across the ERP implementation.


This role is responsible for defining, governing, and maintaining enterprise-aligned business process controls, SoD rulesets, and end-to-end process-level risk management. A critical element of this position is ensuring that existing business processes, control frameworks, and operational guardrails are fully understood, reconciled, and integrated into future-state solution design. The Risk & Controls Manager partners closely with process owners to identify required control capabilities, challenge gaps in future-state design, and ensure the transformed processes preserve or improve control effectiveness.


The role works across Technology, Internal Audit, External Audit, and the System Integrator to ensure that transaction integrity, approvals, reconciliations, and reporting safeguards are embedded in business design-not dependent on underlying system configuration alone. The position evaluates unacceptable control conflicts, validates SoD principles, and ensures risk mitigation strategies are consistent with enterprise standards and the broader Risk & Controls organization.


he Risk & Controls Manager ensures the ERP program is audit-ready by delivering clear, sustainable, and auditable business process controls that align to enterprise policy, reduce operational risk, and support a scalable, well-governed ERP environment.


This is a full-time, dedicated role for the duration of the transformation program (estimated 5-7 years).
