• Lead remediation governance with IT and business teams; verify remediation testing and ensure timely closure of findings.
• Develop and maintain ITGC documentation, process mappings and control evidence to support internal and external audit.
• Design and implement dashboards and KPIs to monitor testing status, remediation ageing and automation progress; report succinctly to Finance, Internal Audit and governance committees.
• Promote IT control awareness through targeted training, communication and stakeholder engagement across IT and Finance.
• Drive automation and data-driven testing approaches to increase ITAC coverage and reduce manual controls.
• Monitor emerging IT risks, regulatory change and technology trends with an impact on SOX compliance.

Key Requirements:

• Demonstrable leadership (minimum 2 years) delivering ITGC/SOX programmes end-to-end.
• Strong technical knowledge of SOX, COSO, ITGC/ITAC, SAP environments and IT control frameworks.
• Proven track record executing SOX cycles, engaging Internal/External Audit and driving remediation to closure.
• Experience implementing automation or data-driven testing (increase in ITAC/IT dependent controls preferred).
• Professional certifications (e.g. CISA, CISSP, COBIT) desirable.
