About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Manager of Internal Controls to lead Kin's Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and Model Audit Rule (MAR) readiness programs. You'll own governance, technical direction, and quality oversight, and you'll coordinate the work of control owners, our external consulting partners, and our external auditors. This role has real room to define and mature how internal controls work at Kin. We're growing, launching new products, and operating in a changing regulatory environment. We're investing in our control environment — implementing a new GRC platform and maturing our MAR compliance program — and this person will lead both efforts. This is an opportunity to build a scalable, mature control environment that senior leadership and the Audit Committee can rely on as Kin grows.
