About The Position

The Senior Director – SOX Risks and Controls is a key leader within the Global Reporting and Accounting Center of Excellence. This role partners with global finance teams and other stakeholders to design the strategy around assessing, designing, and documenting financial processes, inclusive of risks and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), while shaping and supporting company‑wide transformation initiatives, including large‑scale digitization efforts and enterprise projects. The Senior Director will gain broad exposure across the Company’s operating units, engage directly with organizational leaders as well as internal and external auditors, and drive meaningful, enterprise‑level change. Furthermore, the Director will oversee the implementation of current industry best practices for ICFR as it relates to existing legacy processes with the goal to enhance the Company’s overall internal control structure. The role also includes partnering to lead a broader team of manual and IT focused internal control subject matter experts to deliver on these objectives. Because this role involves access to confidential financial information, the Company has determined that a review of criminal history is necessary to protect the business and its operations and reputation and to provide similar protections for its clients and potential investments.
