- Develop reporting and dashboards for the CFO and senior leadership
- Lead efforts to simplify, standardize, and automate controls to reduce manual effort and control fatigue

- Leverage data analytics to identify trends, anomalies, and control exceptions; build continuous monitoring dashboards with meaningful leading indicators.

IT & Automated Controls:

- Partner with IT to assess system-based and automated controls that impact financial reporting and key operational data
- Evaluate access management, change management, data integrity, and system interfaces
- Promote control-by-design in ERP and enterprise platform enhancements

Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership:

- Act as a trusted advisor to business leaders on risk management and governance matters
- Train and educate control owners on control responsibilities, documentation standards, and audit readiness

- Demonstrated change management skills, able to influence leaders, drive adoption, and implement controls in ways that respect operational realities and culture.

- Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement

Key Competencies:

- Sound professional judgment and risk awareness
- Ability to balance control rigor with business efficiency
- Clear, executive-level communication skills
- Strong analytical and organizational capabilities
- Collaborative, influential, and solutions-oriented

Measures of Success:

- Well-documented, consistently applied internal control framework
- Reduced audit findings and smoother review cycles
- Strong control owner accountability and engagement
- Effective remediation of identified risks
- High confidence from CFO and senior leadership in the control environment

Qualifications

Required:

- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related discipline
- 10+ years of progressive experience in internal controls, audit, accounting, or risk management
