• Oversee the execution and quality of control testing, ensuring testing is performed consistently, accurately, and in accordance with internal standards and external audit expectations.
• Provide heightened oversight of judgment‑based and management review controls, ensuring appropriate precision, evidence, and documentation.
• Evaluate testing results and identify, assess, and classify control deficiencies, including determining severity (control deficiency, significant deficiency, material weakness).
• Own deficiency tracking, remediation planning, and validation of corrective actions, ensuring timely closure and sustainability of remediations.
• Prepare clear, risk‑focused reporting and dashboards summarizing testing results, deficiency status, and remediation progress for senior management and executive stakeholders.
• Serve as the primary management liaison with external auditors related to ICFR testing, audit reliance, and review of management's assessment.
• Drive continuous improvement of testing methodologies, documentation standards, and quality controls, incorporating auditor feedback, regulatory guidance, and emerging inspection themes.
• Support control uplift and transformation initiatives, partnering with process owners to improve control design, reduce complexity, and enhance automation where appropriate.
• Manage, mentor, and develop a team of managers and analysts, establishing training, review, and quality assurance standards for testing activities.
• Maintain strong governance over SOX calendars, milestones, and deliverables to support timely executive certifications and external reporting requirements.

The expertise you bring:

• 7+ years of experience in internal controls, SOX compliance, or audit within a large organization.
