Job description

Who we are: 

At Vireo Health, we’re not just another cannabis company—we’re a movement. Founded by physicians and driven by innovation, we blend science, technology, and passion to create top-tier cannabis products and experiences. Our team of 500+ bold creators and trailblazers are shaping the future of the industry, and we want you to be part of it.  
We take pride in being one of the most diverse and inclusive workplaces in cannabis, fostering a culture where everyone belongs. Through employee engagement, community events, and non-profit partnerships, we’re building more than a business—we’re building a community.  
As we rapidly expand nationwide, we’re looking for talented, driven, and passionate people to join us. If you’re ready to turn your passion into a career, let’s grow the future together. 

What the role is about: 

The ideal candidate will architect and execute the 2026 SOX compliance roadmap for a high-growth, acquisitive environment. This is a "builder" role focused on systems implementation, process engineering, and technical accounting partnership. This role reports to the Corporate Controller.

What impact you'll make:

1. Systems Architecture & "The How"

· GRC Implementation: Lead the selection and rollout of SOX management software (e.g., AuditBoard, Workiva) or architect a scalable "Evidence Vault" (SharePoint/Teams) with standardized naming and folder conventions.

· Infrastructure Design: Create the organizational "Playbook" for how evidence is captured, stored, and retrieved across all business units to ensure 365-day audit readiness.

· Automation Strategy: Partner with IT to move from manual, spreadsheet-heavy tasks to automated system configurations within the ERP, reducing the internal testing burden.

2. Operational Partnership & M&A Integration

· Process Engineering: Work alongside accounting teams to "bake in" controls to new workflows rather than auditing them after the fact.

· Acquisition Onboarding: Perform Day-1 gap analyses on new entities; immediately implement the corporate SOX framework and standardized systems into their operations.

· Project Management: Lead the organization’s adherence to compliance timelines, serving as a consultant to department heads (HR, IT, Sales) on how to meet their control obligations.

3. Technical Advisory & SEC Alignment

· Technical Sounding Board: Serve as a key resource for the Controller and CAO to evaluate how operational changes, new GAAP interpretations, or complex transactions (e.g., Revenue Rec, Equity) impact the control environment.

· Disclosure Controls: Ensure all sub-ledger processes and manual adjustments map accurately to 10-K/10-Q disclosure requirements.

· Materiality & Scoping: Define and defend the quantitative and qualitative materiality thresholds used for SEC reporting and audit scoping.

· Audit Liaison: Act as the primary point of contact for external auditors, managing the relationship to ensure alignment on testing strategy, materiality, and deficiency impact.

4. Remediation & Accountability

· Root Cause Analysis: When a control fails, don't just "report" it—partner with the team to redesign the process and prevent recurrence.

· Reporting: Provide the Controller and Audit Committee with high-level visibility into compliance health, integration status, and technical risk areas.

What you've accomplished:

· The "Builder" Mindset: Prefers creating systems and SOPs over simply following a checklist.

· Technical Depth: Strong understanding of SEC reporting requirements and PCAOB standards.

· Experience: 6+ years in a mix of Big 4 audit and corporate accounting/SOX roles within an acquisitive environment.
