** Senior Auditor, Global Accounting Compliance – JLL
**** What this job involves:
** JLL's Global Accounting Compliance (GAC) team manages and oversees three critical assurance pillars on behalf of JLL Management: the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Program, the client-facing Service Organization Controls Reporting (SOCR) function, and the Sustainability (ESG) Control Assurance Program. We are seeking a Senior Auditor to join the team in a floating capacity, providing day-to-day Senior Auditor-level support primarily for SOX, but also across all three pillars based on cyclical demand and management priorities.

The role is well suited to a self-starter who thrives on variety, adapts quickly to shifting priorities, and is energized by exposure to multiple control frameworks and stakeholder groups.

* Lead end-to-end walkthroughs to confirm documented controls and risks, identify control gaps, and design effective business process and IT controls
* Prepare high-quality, audit-ready documentation and work papers, and proactively identify opportunities to enhance existing documentation (e.g., refine control language, draft/update process flows and test procedures)

* Evaluate audit findings, coordinate timely remediation of deficiencies, and summarize key issues, risks, and business impact of control deficiencies to Management
* Support planning, scheduling, and execution of SOX testing procedures, coordinate with External Auditors on client-facing SOC 1 and SOC 2 engagements, and assist Management in building a formal ESG control environment
* Supervise and/or review work performed by team members and co-sourced resources while developing subject-matter expertise in key business areas relevant to each pillar

* Required Qualifications:

*** Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field
* 2–4 years of experience with a focus on Sarbanes-Oxley compliance in publicly traded companies; internal audit, external/public accounting, and/or SOC engagement experience also relevant

* Strong technical aptitude with ability to learn and evaluate new software platforms
* High degree of professional and personal standards with unquestioned integrity and business ethics
