  2. Business controls, both at a group level and within the operating businesses
  3. Modernisation initiatives for both business and IT controls, driven by technology enablement and automation (such as a GRC application).


This role will be responsible for delivering Pillar 1 above for the ICFR global finance transformation programme, as well as supporting the other finance transformation pillars (e.g. finance ERP implementation) by providing ICFR input and insight.

ABOUT THE PERSON:

  • Experience with SOX implementation or readiness programme within a large US listed organisation, through industry or consulting (i.e. Big 4).
  • Experience of delivering ICFR activities day-to-day, across at least one whole financial year cycle.
  • Some experience of significant finance transformation activities in ICFR or with ICFR impacts, such as a GRC implementation, global process owner deployment, an ERP implementation, or technology enablement of the annual ICFR cycle, is advantageous, but not essential.
  • Experience of navigating material weakness or significant deficiency remediation is advantageous, but not essential.
  • PCAOB audit experience and experience in a professional services or industry role, managing IT compliance from a SOX perspective at scale.
