ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for an IT SOX Controls/ Internal Controls Director who can design, build, implement, and report on the internal controls framework for the Company and its underlying subsidiaries. The candidate should be able to walk into a client environment, understand how their systems work, and build a complete ITGC and ITAC framework from the ground up. This is not a testing role, we need someone who can map the technology landscape, identify control gaps, and produce a Risk & Control Matrix (RCM) that is audit-ready and operationally practical.

- Identify and document automated controls (ITAC) in financial applications and map reliance chain for auditors
- Build the Risk & Control Matrix from scratch, aligned to financial statement line items and business process cycles
- Present and defend the control framework to senior client stakeholders and external auditors
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Big 4 IT advisory or IT audit background, mandatory (Deloitte, PwC, EY or KPMG)
- 10 years in IT audit, IT risk, or SOX advisory, with meaningful time in controls design, not just testing
- Demonstrated ability to build an ITGC/ITAC framework and RCM independently for a new client engagement
- Strong knowledge of ITGC domains, ITAC methodology, and COSO / COBIT frameworks
- Experience with large ERPs — SAP or Oracle preferred; e-commerce or retail environment is a plus
