- Executive Reporting: Deliver clear, data-driven reporting to DET leadership on the SOX IT control health of Revenue (Quote-to-Cash) supporting systems, surfacing risks proactively and advocating for program enhancements.
Minimum Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Accounting, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent professional work experience.
- Experience: 12+ years of experience in technology risk and controls, with 7+ years of direct experience leading a SOX IT controls team in a second line capacity.
- Revenue Cycle System Expertise: Deep subject matter expertise in Revenue Cycle (Quote-to-Cash) systems, including the design and oversight of ITGCs and automated application controls; proven track record leading IT SOX readiness for new system implementations and ensuring SDLC compliance for all in-scope financial reporting projects.
- SOX Program Leadership: Extensive experience managing large-scale SOX compliance programs and a proven track record of successfully defending control environments to external auditors.
- Communication: Strong ability to convey complex financial compliance and technology risk concepts to non-technical stakeholders at all levels, including executive leadership.
- People Leadership: Proven ability to build, mentor, and inspire high-performing teams, with demonstrated success influencing stakeholders across Technology, Finance, and Audit.
Preferred Qualifications
- Proven track record in control rationalization and automation within Quote-to-Cash, Commissions, or Billing lifecycles to measurably reduce manual audit effort.
