SOX IT Audit Manager

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly experienced SOX IT Audit Manager with proven expertise in SOX ITGC management to strengthen our internal control environment across a large global enterprise. This role serves as the key liaison between control owners, IT, internal audit, and external audit, ensuring controls are effectively designed, executed, documented, and monitored to meet regulatory and operational expectations. The ideal candidate will combine deep audit experience with strong stakeholder management, program coordination, and process improvement skills.

Responsibilities:

• Green field to mature process improvement track record in short period of time.
• Lead the end-to-end SOX ITGC lifecycle - from annual scoping and design assessment through testing readiness, remediation tracking, and continuous improvement.
• Plan and facilitate control governance ceremonies (kick-offs, walkthroughs, enablement sessions, and remediation stand-ups) to ensure consistent control execution and clear accountability.
• Manage the central SOX control repository (e.g., AuditBoard or equivalent) to maintain current, complete, and well-articulated documentation mapped to accountable owners.
• Partner with Internal Audit, External Audit, and IT Risk teams to align scope, schedules, and reliance strategies for efficient and coordinated testing cycles.
• Develop and present SOX ITGC dashboards and key metrics to leadership, highlighting program progress, control effectiveness, emerging risks, and remediation trends.
• Ensure timely escalation of issues or delays impacting audit readiness and maintain transparency with IT and audit leadership.
• Serve as the SOX IT scope gatekeeper - when new systems or integrations are proposed (e.g., ERP platforms such as Oracle, SAP, or other legacy IT systems supporting manufacturing operations), review the intent, risk, and control relevance before inclusion, engaging IT and process owners early in the decision.
• Provide advisory and training support to control owners, helping them understand control objectives, evidence expectations, and testing standards.
• Translate audit feedback into actionable metrics and remediation steps.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, MIS, Information Systems, or a related field.
• 7-10 years of experience in IT audit, SOX compliance, or risk management, preferably within a Big 4 or large internal audit environment.
• Strong knowledge of IT General Controls (ITGCs) and IT Application Controls (ITACs) supporting ERP and legacy systems in a manufacturing or industrial environment.
• Expertise in AuditBoard or similar audit workflow platforms, with ability to drive documentation discipline and testing quality.
