Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in IT audit, internal audit, external audit, or SOX compliance, with significant exposure to IT general controls testing.
- Experience in crypto, fintech, payments, or technology-intensive environments with complex, rapidly evolving infrastructure.
- CISA and CPA certifications required. Candidates with one certification who are actively pursuing the other will be considered.
- Strong knowledge of ITGC frameworks, SOX compliance requirements, COSO, COBIT, and PCAOB auditing standards as they apply to IT controls.
- Hands-on experience testing ITGCs across access management, change management, and system operations.
- Technical fluency with enterprise technology environments — you don’t need to be an engineer, but you need to understand how systems, databases, and deployment pipelines work to effectively test the controls around them.
- Understanding of how IT controls underpin the reliability of financial reporting — you can connect an ITGC failure to its downstream impact on business process controls and the financial statements.
- Experience working with or alongside external auditors (Big 4 preferred) on SOX engagements.
- Experience operating across multi-entity structures or multiple jurisdictions.
- Effective communicator who can translate technical IT audit findings for control owners, engineering teams, senior leadership, and external stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Lead the execution of independent testing of IT General Controls (ITGCs) across key control domains: access management, change management, and system operations.
- Evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of IT controls across in-scope applications and infrastructure.
- Document testing procedures and results to meet Internal Audit and external auditor quality standards.
- Identify new systems, applications, or process changes that emerge during testing and assess their SOX implications.
- Build and maintain testing programs, templates, and workpapers.
- Independently validate the remediation of open SOX findings, including material weaknesses and significant deficiencies, across ITGC control areas.
- Evaluate control deficiencies by performing root cause analysis and assessing the severity and pervasiveness of exceptions.
- Serve as a trusted Internal Audit point of contact for IT control owners across Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, and IT Operations.
- Contribute to Internal Audit reporting to the Audit Committee, external auditor, and senior leadership on IT SOX testing coverage, findings, and remediation status.
- Partner with the business process SOX tester and co-sourced resources to ensure coordinated testing coverage across the full SOX program.
