Responsibilities

Green field to mature process improvement track record in short period of time.
Lead the end-to-end SOX ITGC lifecycle – from annual scoping and design assessment through testing readiness, remediation tracking, and continuous improvement.
Plan and facilitate control governance ceremonies (kick-offs, walkthroughs, enablement sessions, and remediation stand-ups) to ensure consistent control execution and clear accountability.
