* Position Summary:

** We're hiring a Senior Manager, Risk & Controls to own and elevate our SOX compliance program at SPS Commerce. This is a high-visibility role where you'll serve as the organization's subject matter authority on SOX regulatory requirements — ensuring the program fully meets or exceeds compliance standards while driving strategic maturation over time. You'll provide oversight, direction, and coaching to the Risk & Controls team, and partner closely with senior and executive leadership and external auditors to drive program quality, risk insight, and long-term program value.
** What You'll Do:
*** Own the leadership and continuous improvement of the SOX program — setting standards and procedures that meet or exceed regulatory requirements and driving opportunities to strengthen risk management, program effectiveness, and long-term maturation
* Serve as the organization's primary SOX regulatory expert, maintaining deep knowledge of SEC, PCAOB, and COSO frameworks and translating regulatory developments into actionable program updates
* Review and approve key program deliverables to ensure quality, completeness, and alignment with program standards and regulatory expectations
* Provide senior-level oversight of engagement with external auditors
* Lead the identification, prioritization, and resourcing of SOX program activities and special projects, including process and system changes and M&A integration
* Provide risk and controls support for special projects such as M&A and system implementations, and lead their timely integration into the SOX program
* Oversee the training and awareness program for business partners and team members related to SOX requirements, internal controls, and risk management
* Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing Risk & Controls team — providing strategic direction, managing talent acquisition and growth, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and strong stakeholder partnership
* Build and sustain trusted advisory relationships with business partners to support SOX objectives and broader risk management priorities
** Where You'll Work:
** This role is hybrid out of our headquarters in Minneapolis, MN. We Succeed Together through in-person collaboration (about 2x a week), balanced with remote work to provide flexibility.
** What You'll Bring:
*** Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field and 8+ years of relevant experience in SOX compliance, internal audit, or risk and controls, including 3+ years of people management experience
* Demonstrated SOX regulatory expertise sufficient to serve as a subject matter authority, including applied knowledge of SEC, PCAOB, and COSO frameworks
* Experience leading or managing SOX compliance functions within a public company environment
* Proven ability to apply understanding of business processes and internal controls to set strategic direction for a compliance program

* Demonstrated track record of driving strategic program improvement and maturation while maintaining accountability for quality outcomes
* Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present to and influence senior and executive leadership
* Proven ability to partner with stakeholders to influence decisions and drive alignment on risk and control priorities
