What you'll do...

• Support control design and implementation across contractor earnings processes, including pay calculations, incentive programs, deductions, tax withholding, 1099 reporting, and payment disbursements
• Perform control assessments for the Spark Driver earnings ecosystem, helping identify control gaps and supporting remediation efforts
• Collaborate with Engineering and Product teams to help design and validate IT dependent manual controls (ITDMs) and IT General Controls (ITGCs) over earnings systems
• Contribute to SOX readiness by maintaining control documentation, risk-control matrices (RCMs), and process narratives
• Help build and maintain monitoring mechanisms including key risk indicators (KRIs) and dashboards that provide visibility into control health

What you'll bring:

• 5+ years of experience in internal controls, SOX/ICFR, internal audit, operational risk, finance transformation, or related risk/control roles—preferably in a high-growth or technology-enabled environment
• Familiarity with gig economy, payments, or contractor operations including exposure to 1099 reporting, earnings disbursements, tax compliance, or similar multi-party payment ecosystems
• Solid understanding of control design in evolving environments—recognizing when lightweight guardrails work, when formal SOX controls are needed, and when automation or monitoring is the better path
• Working knowledge of core controls concepts including preventive vs. detective controls, manual vs. automated controls, IT-dependent controls, and deficiency evaluation frameworks
