About The Position

We are seeking an experienced SOX Manager to lead and mature our Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance program. This role is critical to ensure the design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) across a complex, multi-subsidiary, international organization. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience managing SOX programs in a high-growth, multinational environment — ideally within a hardware, SaaS, or technology company — and is comfortable operating in a fast-paced setting with evolving processes and systems.

Strong working knowledge of the COSO Internal Control Framework and SOX 404 requirements.
Experience managing or significantly contributing to a public company (or pre-IPO) SOX program, including scoping, walkthroughs, testing, and deficiency evaluation.
Solid understanding of key financial processes (Revenue, Procurement-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash, Payroll, Inventory, Financial Close) and the associated risks and controls.
Experience working with ITGCs and coordinating with IT/security teams on system-related controls.
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams, deadlines, and stakeholders simultaneously.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain control concepts clearly to non-finance stakeholders.
Proficiency with NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar ERP systems; experience with GRC/audit management tools (e.g., AuditBoard, Workiva, SOX Hub) is a plus.
Must be willing and able to commute 5 days in office.

Nice To Haves

CPA, CIA, or CISA certification preferred (or actively pursuing).

Own and manage the end-to-end SOX 404 compliance program, including risk assessment, scoping, control design, testing strategy, and remediation tracking.
Partner with process owners across Accounting, FP&A, Revenue, Procurement, Payroll, IT, and other functions to document, evaluate, and continuously improve key controls.
Identify control gaps and deficiencies; drive root-cause analysis and remediation plans with control owners, tracking issues to closure.
Maintain and update process narratives, risk-control matrices (RCMs), and flowcharts to reflect current-state processes, including changes driven by new systems, acquisitions, or new subsidiaries/entities.
Monitor changes in the business (new revenue streams, new international entities, system implementations, M&A) and assess SOX scoping and control implications.
Support ITGC (IT General Controls) testing coordination with IT and security teams, including access reviews, change management, and system implementation controls.
Prepare quarterly and annual SOX status reporting for management and external auditors.
Drive automation and efficiency improvements in control execution and testing (e.g., leveraging GRC tools, data analytics, and control automation).

Stay current on PCAOB, SEC, and COSO framework developments and assess impact on the company's control environment.
