Establish and enforce global standards for ITGC domains including:
Access Controls: User provisioning, de-provisioning, privileged access, and periodic access reviews.
Change Management: Change request approvals, testing, segregation of duties, and deployment controls.
Control Design, Validation & Testing
Oversee the design and operational effectiveness testing of ITGCs across all regions and business units.
Collaborate with internal and external auditors to facilitate walkthroughs, control testing, and remediation validation.
Identify control deficiencies, lead root cause analysis, and drive timely and sustainable remediation.
Ensure documentation of control narratives, risk-control matrices (RCMs), and testing evidence is complete and audit-ready.
Audit & Stakeholder Engagement
Act as the primary liaison between IT and external auditors for all ITGC-related matters.
Coordinate audit timelines, evidence requests, and issue resolution across global teams.
Partner with IT system owners, control performers, and business stakeholders to promote accountability and audit readiness.
Governance, Reporting & Documentation
Maintain centralized documentation repositories for ITGCs, including SOPs, control matrices, and audit logs.
Develop and deliver executive-level reporting on ITGC performance, risks, and remediation status.
Monitor regulatory changes and industry trends to ensure ongoing compliance and control relevance.
Team Leadership & Development
Manage and mentor a global team of IT compliance professionals.
Allocate control-related responsibilities effectively and provide development opportunities to enhance team capabilities.
Foster a culture of compliance, risk awareness, and continuous improvement across the organization.
What You’ll Bring
12+ years of experience in IT compliance, audit, or risk management, with a strong focus on ITGCs and SOX 404.
Proven success managing global ITGC programs and second line of defense functions.
Deep understanding of ITGC domains, SOX requirements, and control frameworks (e.g., COBIT, NIST, ISO 27001).
