Position Overview: The Senior role is intended for a detail-oriented SOX professional who can operate in a fast-paced remediation environment and work directly with Accounting, Finance, Operations, IT, Internal Audit, and external audit stakeholders. The role will support control documentation quality, evidence completeness, remediation follow-up, and SOX reporting needs while helping reinforce consistent control ownership across the organization.

How you will Own It:

• Support SOX remediation activities by maintaining issue trackers, following up on action items, reviewing evidence completeness, and escalating delays or documentation gaps.
• Review control evidence for completeness, accuracy, consistency, and alignment with documented control attributes, including control frequency, precision, preparer/reviewer responsibilities, and support retained.
• Assist with updating process-level SOX documentation, including process narratives, risk and control matrices, flowcharts, walkthrough materials, control owner guidance, and related documentation.
• Prepare control owners for walkthroughs, evidence submissions, quarterly certifications, and audit requests by clearly communicating expectations and documentation standards.
• Identify and summarize potential control gaps, recurring exceptions, missing evidence, insufficient review precision, and incomplete remediation support for review by SOX leadership.
• Coordinate evidence requests and status updates across Finance, Accounting, Operations, IT, Internal Audit, and external audit stakeholders.
• Prepare supporting schedules and inputs for SOX reporting packages, remediation dashboards, deficiency logs, meeting materials, and leadership updates.
• Identify opportunities to simplify control execution, standardize documentation, improve evidence retention, and strengthen repeatability across key controls.

What you’ll Bring: ​

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in SOX, internal controls, internal audit, external audit, risk advisory, accounting, or compliance.
• Working knowledge of SOX 404, COSO, ICFR documentation, control testing concepts, deficiency remediation, and audit evidence standards.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to evaluate whether control documentation clearly demonstrates performance and review.
• Ability to manage competing requests, follow up effectively with stakeholders, and maintain accurate status tracking.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain SOX requirements in practical terms to control owners.

Added Fuel if you have:

• Experience supporting SOX documentation, control testing support, control remediation, or audit readiness in a public company environment.
• Public accounting, internal audit, risk advisory, accounting, or compliance experience preferred.
• Experience reviewing control evidence for management review controls, reconciliations, journal entries, system reports, or IT-dependent controls.
• Experience using SOX compliance, audit management, ERP, or reconciliation tools.

Key Competencies: Attention to detail, organization, follow-through, clear communication, curiosity, professional skepticism, teamwork, accountability, and ability to manage deadlines in a fast-paced remediation environment.
