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.
