- As a Staff Analyst, Information Technology, you will serve as part of the Second Line of Defense for Global Operations & Technology, providing independent oversight and coordination of IT compliance activities while partnering closely with IT delivery, Cybersecurity, Finance, and Internal Audit.
- Act as a central IT compliance authority supporting SOX (Sarbanes‑Oxley) IT controls, ensuring consistent interpretation, execution, and documentation of control requirements across systems, regions, and platforms.
- Drive harmonization and standardization of SOX IT processes and evidence, enabling repeatable, audit‑ready workflows and clear accountability for control owners.
- Serve as the primary liaison between IT control owners (First Line of Defense) and Internal and External Audit (Third Line of Defense), coordinating walkthroughs, testing cycles, evidence submissions, and remediation efforts.
- Elicit, document, and maintain control narratives, procedures, and evidence standards, translating audit and regulatory expectations into clear, actionable guidance for IT teams.
- Support IT General Controls (ITGCs) and IT Application Controls (ITACs), including identity and access management, change management, computer operations, and data integrity controls.
- Partner with Cybersecurity teams to support external certifications and regulatory audits (e.g., TISAX, CMMC, ISO/NIST‑based assessments), coordinating documentation, evidence collection, and remediation tracking.
- Collaborate with global IT teams, including offshore delivery and support partners, to track audit progress, clarify expectations, and ensure timely, high‑quality submissions.
- Participate in audit issue and deficiency triage, independently assessing root causes, identifying systemic control gaps, and driving corrective actions in coordination with IT and security stakeholders.
- Develop and maintain standard operating procedures, training materials, and guidance to improve IT audit readiness, control ownership maturity, and compliance awareness.
- Identify opportunities to simplify, automate, and improve IT compliance activities, reducing audit burden, rework, and operational risk while strengthening year‑round control effectiveness.
- Partner with IT and Cybersecurity leadership to define, assess, and mature IT controls and best practices beyond SOX across all internal front‑end and back‑end manufacturing environments, including supporting systems and platforms. This includes areas such as identity and access management, password management, privileged access, change management, computer operations, and security configuration controls. Act as a Second Line of Defense by independently assessing control design, consistency, and operating effectiveness, identifying gaps and opportunities to standardize controls across manufacturing‑related IT systems, domains, and regions. Support the evolution of the role over time from SOX‑focused compliance execution to broader IT controls maturity and governance, enabling scalable, audit‑ready, and sustainable control practices across manufacturing IT.
- 5–8 years of experience in IT compliance, IT audit, risk management, or internal controls within a complex enterprise environment.
- Strong working knowledge of SOX IT controls, including ITGCs and ITACs, and practical experience supporting audit testing and remediation.
- Demonstrated experience operating in or alongside a Second Line of Defense function, providing independent oversight without direct execution ownership.
- Experience working with Internal Audit and external audit firms, including coordination of walkthroughs, testing, and issue resolution.
- Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks and certifications (e.g., TISAX, CMMC, ISO 27001, NIST 800‑53/171).
- Experience working with globally distributed IT teams, including offshore delivery or support partners.
- Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to influence outcomes across matrixed teams without direct authority.
- Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Accounting, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Professional certifications such as CISA, CISSP, CRISC, or CPA are a plus.
