This role ensures controls are appropriately designed, consistently executed, and supported with high‑quality evidence in alignment with SOX and PCAOB expectations. The Manager plays a critical role in sustaining effective compliance operations through disciplined execution, strong partnership, and continuous improvement.
This position is designed for a hands‑on leader who thrives in complex environments and can translate regulatory requirements into practical, scalable processes. The Manager partners closely with the Director and Senior Manager, as well as IT leadership, business stakeholders, and Internal and External Audit teams, to maintain effective ITGCs across a dynamic and evolving technology landscape while supporting team development and accountability.

-
Quality Assurance: Perform quality reviews of ITGC execution and supporting evidence prior to audit submission. Validate accuracy, completeness, and adherence to documentation standards.

-
Audit Support: Serve as a primary day‑to‑day contact for Internal Audit and External Audit within assigned scope areas. Coordinate walkthroughs, respond to audit inquiries, and ensure timely delivery of accurate and complete audit evidence. Support productive audit interactions while maintain strong working relationships with audit partners.
-
Documentation & Tools: Ensure accuracy and completeness of IT SOX documentation, including control descriptions, system inventories, IT dependency mappings, and technology process flows. Support consistent use of SOX tools, including Workiva and AuditBoard (Optro), and standardized documentation templates to enhance audit readiness, transparency, and long‑term program sustainability.
