Manager, Internal Controls

What is the role?

We are hiring a Manager, Internal Audit & SOX to own this work from the inside. In the near term, you will partner closely with our external advisors to drive the program to completion. As the project concludes, you will take full ownership of the control environment—leading ongoing SOX compliance, monitoring control effectiveness, and continuously developing and enhancing controls as the business evolves.

This is a high‑visibility role with direct exposure to senior leadership, the external auditors, and the Audit Committee. The role begins as an individual contributor with the expectation of building and leading a team as the program matures.

• Lead the control environment refresh (near‑term project):
  • Serve as the internal owner and day‑to‑day point of contact for the third‑party project, ensuring scope, timeline, and deliverables stay on track.
  • Partner on the enterprise risk assessment and the documentation of processes, procedures, and the refreshed Risk and Control Matrix (RCM).
  • Strengthen priority control areas, partnering with process and control owners to design, implement, and validate effective controls.
  • Transition knowledge in‑house, ensuring the program is fully operational and sustainable once external support rolls off.
• Own ongoing SOX compliance (steady state):
  • Manage the annual SOX 404 program end to end: scoping, risk assessment, walkthroughs, control design and operating effectiveness testing, and deficiency evaluation.
  • Maintain the RCM and control documentation, keeping narratives, flowcharts, and the controls inventory current as processes change.
  • Evaluate and track deficiencies, driving remediation and validating that fixes hold over time.
  • Coordinate with external auditors, managing PBC requests, walkthroughs, and reliance discussions to support an efficient audit.
  • Report on control health to the VP Controller, CFO, and Audit Committee, including status, risks, and remediation progress.
  • Own IT general controls across access management, change management, and IT operations, with particular focus on the Net Suite ERP environment.
  • Partner with IT and Security on ITGC and systems controls across access management, change management, and IT operations, with particular focus on the Net Suite ERP environment.
• Operational audit and enterprise risk:
  • Perform operational and process audits beyond financial reporting to identify control, efficiency, and risk‑mitigation opportunities.
  • Support enterprise risk management (ERM), helping maintain the risk assessment framework and connecting top risks to the control environment.
  • Champion continuous improvement, leveraging automation and analytics to make controls more efficient and effective over time.

• 5+ years of progressive experience in internal audit, SOX/internal controls, or public accounting.
• Strong working knowledge of SOX 404, the COSO 2013 framework, and PCAOB auditing standards, with hands‑on experience designing and testing internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR).
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate control deficiencies and drive remediation to completion.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder‑management skills, with the ability to influence process owners and brief senior leadership.

• CPA (active license).
• In‑house SOX/controls experience at a public company, including controls design and remediation work.
• Big 4 or national public accounting firm audit background.
• CIA, CISA, or CFE certification.
• Hands‑on experience with Net Suite and with audit/GRC or workflow tooling.
• Experience building or scaling an internal audit or SOX function.

• Parental Leave:
  Company‑supported leave for both primary and non‑primary caregivers, with tiered return‑to‑work options.
• Flexible Time Off:
  Policy to rest, recharge, and maintain well‑being.
• Flexible Working Days:
  Empowering employees to structure their workday to fit personal and professional lives.
