IT Business Controls Manager

World Fuel is seeking a high-impact IT Business Controls Manager to partner with our technology and digital teams to strengthen our control environment and drive sustainable solutions. This role is ideal for someone with a background in IT Audit or Internal Audit who is ready to move beyond testing and into a business-facing, solutions-driven role focused on influence, remediation, and continuous improvement. You will serve as a key connector across IT, Business Controls, Internal Audit, and External Audit, ensuring risks are identified early and effectively addressed.

Key Responsibilities

Act as a trusted advisor to Technology and Digital teams on IT controls. Serve as the central coordination point for IT control matters across internal and external stakeholders. Support the design and implementation of IT General Controls (access, change management, operations) and automated and system-dependent controls. Work with IT teams to build practical, scalable control solutions. Perform ongoing validation to ensure controls operate effectively.

Partner with Internal Audit to assess control gaps and root causes. Act as the primary liaison for IT-related deficiencies. Drive remediation efforts by defining action plans, establishing ownership and timelines, and tracking progress to resolution. Facilitate cross-functional alignment to remove blockers. Proactively identify emerging risks before they become audit findings.

Provide a controls and risk lens on system implementations, technology enhancements, and process transformation initiatives. Support the evolution of governance, risk, and control frameworks. Contribute to the ongoing maturity of the Business Controls function.

What We're Looking For

5+ years in IT Audit, Internal Audit, IT Controls, or SOX environments. Strong understanding of IT General Controls (ITGCs) and SOX frameworks and compliance. Experience partnering across technology and business stakeholders. Proven ability to drive remediation and influence outcomes.

Strong stakeholder management and influence without authority. Ability to translate technical risks into clear business insights. Solutions-oriented mindset with strong execution focus. Excellent communication and collaboration skills. High ownership and accountability.
