The Financial Compliance team’s mission is to establish and maintain the company’s financial and regulatory compliance, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), the COSO Internal Control Framework, and related frameworks for internal controls over financial reporting. This team works closely with Controllership teams (Corporate Accounting, Financial Reporting, Stock Administration, etc.) and external auditors to ensure compliance with the SOX 404 framework and PCAOB standards while supporting business growth!

You will partner closely with the Financial Compliance Senior Manager along with business and technology teams to identify control gaps, perform root cause analysis, implement practical solutions, and support compliance with SOX and other regulatory requirements.
