Manager, IT Risk and Controls

Hybrid, Downtown Chicago, IL or New York, NY What you will be doing: As our IT Risk and Controls Manager, you’ll sit at the intersection of technology, finance, and compliance, helping shape how we manage IT control risks across a global enterprise. Reporting to the Director of Internal Controls, you'll be a key voice in our controls team, working alongside IT, Internal Audit, and business stakeholders to help create a resilient, audit‑ready control environment as we continue to scale and modernize our systems. This is a high‑visibility role with real influence over how we design and govern controls. Specific responsibilities include: IT General Controls & SOX Compliance Own the development and ongoing maturity of ITGCs (access management, change management, system operations), ensuring consistent execution aligned with SOX requirements. Facilitate SOX IT walkthroughs and audit readiness, including system narratives, data flow diagrams, and control matrices. Serve as the primary liaison between IT, Internal/External Audit, and corporate teams on IT control matters. Application Controls & Data Integrity Lead governance of system‑based controls and reconciliation processes across ERP platforms (SAP ECC/S4) and financial tools (OneStream, Workday, BlackLine). Oversee application control design and effectiveness, ensuring proper configuration and compliance with control standards. Conduct ongoing IT risk and control assessments identifying gaps across systems, interfaces, data flows, cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure), and emerging risks from AI‑enabled tools and automated processes, and own mitigation plans through to resolution. Manage IT risk dashboards and reporting, including KPIs on control effectiveness, access deficiencies, and audit findings. Assess and monitor IT risk across third‑party service providers and co‑sourced relationships, ensuring vendor controls are commensurate with financial reporting reliance. Cross‑Functional Leadership & Transformation Lead IT controls work through cross‑functional influence — coordinating co‑sourced Internal Audit resources, external audit engagement teams, and GBS Risk & Controls colleagues across regions without direct reporting lines. Build capability and risk awareness across the broader IT and finance organization. Embed controls by design into ERP implementations, system upgrades, and digital transformation initiatives. Promote the transition from manual, detective controls to preventive and automated controls where feasible. What you need to succeed: 5+ years in IT risk, IT audit, SOX IT controls, or technology risk management — ideally in a global or shared services environment. Deep knowledge of ITGC frameworks and their application in SOX compliance. Hands‑on experience with ERP systems (SAP ECC or S/4 strongly preferred), consolidation systems (OneStream preferred) including control design, user access, and configuration. Familiarity with control automation tools (BlackLine, RPA, GRC platforms) and data analytics tools (SQL, Power BI, Excel). Familiarity with identity governance and administration (IGA) platforms (SailPoint, Saviynt, or equivalent) is a plus, particularly in the context of SAP access provisioning and segregation of duties enforcement. Strong communicator who can translate technical risk into business language for executive and audit audiences. Bachelor’s or Master’s in Information Systems, Accounting, Finance, or a related field. CISA strongly preferred; CISSP or CPA a plus. Active certification or demonstrated progress toward CISA is a differentiating factor for this role.
