• Play an active role in Internal Audit’s involvement in Sedgwick’s global SAP S/4HANA transformation, helping assess: o program governance o controls readiness o role design and access models o segregation of duties and mitigating controls o data migration and integration risks o testing and cutover readiness o post-implementation control sustainability

• Lead and directly review remediation validation for IT and SAP-related findings to ensure corrective actions are practical, effective, and sustainable.

• Collaborate with management and external auditors on IT SOX and SAP controls, including testing coordination, issue resolution, and reliance discussions.

• Communicate technology and controls risks clearly and effectively to senior leadership, with a practical, business-oriented perspective.

• Help strengthen and modernize Internal Audit’s approach to auditing ERP transformation, digital risk, and enterprise technology change.

• Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing team and foster strong collaboration across Internal Audit, IT, Finance, and business leadership.

What We’re Looking For
