Please review the following job description:

This role is positioned within the Technology, Data & Operations (TD&O) SOX Governance Team and serves as an ITGC subject matter expert, specifically concentrated on Identity & Access Management (IAM) and other logical security–related SOX controls.

The primary objective is to ensure TD&O fulfills its responsibilities under SOX Sections 404 and 302 and FDICIA, acting as the connective layer between:

• TD&O internal technology teams
• SOX Program Management, including internal SOX auditors
• External SOX auditors

This makes the role a blend of IT risk governance, audit liaison, and control oversight—requiring both technical fluency and strong governance/reporting abilities.

Key Responsibilities
1. ITGC Risk & Control Expertise (Logical Security Focus)
You are expected to:
• Understand and apply IT general controls, particularly in areas such as provisioning, de-provisioning, access reviews, privileged access, authentication methods, and system access governance.
• Evaluate emerging risks, control failures, and design opportunities.

This reinforces the need for:
• Strong foundational ITGC knowledge
• Understanding of IAM technologies (e.g., SailPoint, Active Directory, PAM tools)
• Ability to identify control gaps or deficiencies

2. Issue Resolution & Analytical Problem-Solving
You’ll address issues affecting both:
• SOX compliance
• Underlying technology processes
This means:
• Translating technical problems into SOX impact assessments
• Recommending feasible, risk-based remediation strategies
• Supporting control owners in designing sustainable control improvements
• This is where IT risk expertise intersects with practical engineering or operational realities.

3. Governance Routines & Reporting
You’ll contribute to—or own—routine SOX reporting cycles, including:
• Executive-level updates
• Committee reporting
• Escalation of emerging or systemic risks

This requires:
• Strong communication skills
• Ability to convert technical details into concise, risk-focused reporting
• Comfort interfacing with senior leadership

4. Auditor Coordination & Request Management
You’ll be a point person within TD&O who:
• Coordinates with internal/external auditors on ITGC walkthroughs
• Manages evidence requests
• Clarifies process or control questions
• Helps drive consistent messaging across technology teams

This calls for:
• Understanding what auditors expect
• Ability to anticipate questions or areas of scrutiny
• Keeping TD&O aligned with SPM and audit expectations

5. SOX Issue Management & Remediation Tracking
You will partner with multiple groups to:
• Document issues/deficiencies
• Develop remediation plans
• Track progress and ensure timely closure

This requires:
• Structured project management
• Clear understanding of deficiency severity and impact
• Skill in influencing teams toward timely resolution

6. Organizational & Project Management Skills
The role requires coordination across:
• Technology process owners
• Risk partners
• Audit stakeholders
• Executive reporting channels

This implies:
• Ability to manage multiple competing priorities
• Strong documentation discipline
• Effective communication across technical and non technical stakeholders

7. Technology Partner Collaboration
You will provide SOX and IT risk perspective when:
• New technology initiatives launch
• System changes are made
• IAM or security processes are redesigned

This ensures SOX requirements are built into design—not retrofitted later.
