SOX Compliance & Process Automation Analyst

10x Genomics•Pleasanton, CA

About The Position

Modern companies generate enormous complexity in how work actually gets done across finance, operations, systems, and teams. Yet much of that knowledge lives in people's heads, scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and undocumented processes. The SOX Compliance & Process Automation Analyst role is designed to change that. This position sits within the Internal Audit function and is part of a broader initiative to build a structured understanding of how the company operates by documenting workflows, identifying risks, and enabling more scalable, technology-enabled controls. While the role supports the Company’s Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance program, this is not a traditional SOX analyst role. Instead, it is designed for someone with a unique blend of technical curiosity, systems thinking, and process improvement skills who can help redefine how Internal Audit supports the organization. This role will help: Document how key workflows across the company actually operate Identify operational and financial risks embedded in those workflows Improve the transparency and scalability of internal controls Build structured documentation that supports both human decision-making and AI-enabled tools SOX compliance represents one important application of this work, but the broader goal is to help Internal Audit develop a clear map of the company’s operational landscape, enabling better risk identification, prioritization of mitigation efforts, stronger controls, and more efficient processes across Finance, Operations, and beyond. This role works closely with the Head of SOX and Internal Audit, as well as cross-functional partners across Finance, Operations, and IT.
