The Role

We are partnered with a global financial services company that is looking for an experienced SOX professional to join its growing controls function at Director level.

This is an opportunity to join during a significant period of growth and transformation, helping to build and strengthen the SOX environment rather than simply managing an established programme.

Lead key areas of the annual SOX programme, including scoping, risk assessment, control design, testing and deficiency evaluation. Work across Finance, Risk, Treasury, Operations and Front Office to understand processes and strengthen the control environment. Oversee SOX testing and remediation while remaining hands-on with more complex control areas. Support major business change, systems transformation and the integration of acquired businesses from a controls perspective. Manage senior stakeholders and external auditors, providing clear reporting on risks, deficiencies and remediation. Identify opportunities to improve, rationalise and automate the SOX control framework. Support and develop members of the growing SOX team.

About You

Strong SOX experience, including practical knowledge of SOX 302/404. Experience leading SOX programmes or significant SOX workstreams. Financial services experience, either in-house or through substantial FS client exposure. Strong understanding of control design, testing, deficiencies and remediation. Comfortable working within a developing control environment and helping to build and improve processes.Inventum Group is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy
