About the Department
The Internal Audit (IA) organization is responsible for delivering high-quality, objective, and independent assurance over the Company's key business and financial risks to the Audit Committee and Management in a cost-effective manner and in alignment with professional standards. In addition to managing the Company's SOX compliance program, the function is expanding its focus to include broader operational and strategic risks. Reflecting the Company's core value of continuous improvement, Internal Audit is also exploring more efficient audit approaches and adopting industry best practices where appropriate.
About the Role
We are seeking a highly organized and strategic SOX PMO Manager to support the ongoing transformation of our internal controls environment, with an immediate focus on our Oracle ERP implementation. This role will play a key part in driving SOX compliance readiness throughout the system implementation lifecycle, while also contributing to the long-term development and sustainability of the company's enterprise-wide SOX program.
This is a highly cross-functional role requiring close collaboration with stakeholders in Finance, IT and external auditors to ensure that compliance requirements are embedded into business processes, systems, and controls-both during implementation and as part of our ongoing controls framework.
What you'll do

• Serve as the primary liaison for SOX-related activities within the Oracle ERP implementation, ensuring key controls are designed, documented, and tested to meet compliance requirements.
• Collaborate with Finance, IT and implementation partners to integrate SOX requirements into process design, configuration, and user acceptance testing (UAT) and System Integration Testing (SIT) activities.
• Collaborate with IT and business teams to ensure user roles, segregation of duties (SoD), and access controls meet compliance standards.
• Partner with stakeholders to identify and implement automated controls, ensuring effective control coverage while reducing manual effort and increasing reliability.
• Support the development of a strategy for automating control testing using Oracle's reporting capabilities and advanced tools such as AI and data analytics.
• Maintain and update SOX documentation, including risk-control matrices (RCMs), narratives, and process flows in response to system and process changes.
• Coordinate walkthroughs, testing activities, and remediation plans in collaboration with internal stakeholders and external auditors.
• Track SOX program milestones, manage status reporting, and drive timely completion of testing and issue resolution.

• Report to the Director, SOX Program Management

Examples of desirable skills, knowledge and experience

• 5 to 8+ years of experience in SOX compliance, internal audit, or external audit with a focus on public company environments.
• Experience supporting Oracle ERP implementations with a focus on compliance and control design.
• Deep understanding of internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR), including business process, ITGCs and automated controls.
• Knowledge of automated controls, control testing automation, and emerging technologies such as AI or advanced analytics within an ERP context.
