Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Business, Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, or related field.
8–10 years of experience in internal controls, audit, or risk management, with strong focus on financial reporting controls (ICFR), including access risk, segregation of duties, and journal entry–related risks in SOX-regulated environments.
Strong understanding of ERP-based financial processes (e.g., SAP), including risks related to transaction populations, access, and segregation of duties impacting financial reporting.
Strong understanding of access risk management and segregation of duties frameworks within ERP environments, and their impact on financial reporting and ICFR compliance.
Strong knowledge of SOX, ICFR, and COSO frameworks, with familiarity of ITGC concepts and access control principles in support of financial reporting controls.
Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and drive alignment on control design and risk mitigation.
Proven track record of leading access risk and SOD initiatives in complex environments, including ERP transformations and control remediation programs, with measurable impact on risk reduction and audit outcomes.

Nice To Haves

Certifications such as CPA, CIA, CISA, or CRISC preferred (CISSP/CISM optional, not primary).
Familiarity with SAP and access governance tools (e.g., SAP GRC) with emphasis on segregation of duties and financial control alignment is a plus.

Responsibilities

Own and govern SOD frameworks, policies, and control standards across financial reporting-relevant systems and processes, including central finance systems (i.e. Impulse, SAP) and supporting upstream, downstream, and reporting systems.
In collaboration with Infosec, establish financial control requirements and risk-based guardrails for access management (e.g., provisioning, certification, de-provisioning).
Define and govern transaction populations and SOD risk coverage across key financial processes, including high-risk areas such as manual journal entries, payments, and master data changes, ensuring completeness and alignment with financial reporting controls (ICFR).
Establish and govern processes to evaluate new or changed system transactions (e.g., SAP T-codes, other financial system equivalents) for inclusion in financial reporting control scope, ensuring ongoing completeness and accuracy of in-scope populations.
Partner with business, IT, and functional stakeholders to assess SOD risks, align access requirements, and implement appropriate mitigating controls across financial reporting–relevant systems.
Assess SOD risks and access configurations regularly, including conflicting transactions and critical access, and provide second-line oversight of monitoring activities (e.g., firefighter IDs, super users), including review of outputs from Infosec to support remediation and audit readiness.
Serve as a subject matter expert on SOD and access risk management, advising senior management and stakeholders on financial control risks, governance practices, and remediation priorities.
Drive continuous improvement of SOD and access risk frameworks, incorporating leading practices, regulatory expectations, and lessons learned from audits, transformations, and control remediation efforts.
