Summary:
Our client is seeking an IT Analyst V to act as both a business analyst and SOX analyst supporting IT SOX, business controls, quality management, and control documentation activities. This person will partner with business, IT, internal audit, SOX Governance, external auditors, and leadership to develop, assess, document, test, and remediate internal controls across assigned portfolios — including control design and operating effectiveness. The ideal candidate operates independently, is comfortable with ambiguity, and brings strong judgment to modernizing control execution, documentation, and reporting using AI-enabled and digital tools.

- Preparing scoping memos, remediation plans, governance reporting, and executive-ready status updates
- Conducting stakeholder interviews, requirements gathering, current-state and future-state process mapping, gap analysis, and action tracking
- Translating control needs into process or documentation requirements
- Evaluating existing SOX, operational, and compliance controls for design, operating effectiveness, automation, simplification, standardization, and documentation improvement — without weakening control effectiveness or audit readiness
Essential Job Duties and Job Functions:
- Develop, plan, and evaluate internal audit programs to ensure compliance with organizational policies, procedures, and standards
- Advise, guide, and work with employees and leaders across business and IT functions
- Determine proper accountability of assets and audit accounting records of relevant contract agreements
- Prepare reports for management on audit results, with recommendations for improvement
- Interface with and support outside auditors to expedite their work
- Audit information systems applications to confirm appropriate controls exist and that system-produced information is accurate
- Advise others on information systems, internal controls, and security procedures
Knowledge and Skills:
- 7+ years of experience implementing internal control policies, processes, controls, and system improvements
- Strong SOX, regulatory, operational controls, risk management, audit coordination, and business analysis experience
- Strong knowledge of ITGCs and control domains, including access controls, change management, SDLC, automated/configurable controls, reporting/IPE, interface controls, deficiency management, and control evidence
- Ability to lead cross-functional teams, assess complex problems, develop control documentation, manage RACMs and narratives, and support control testing
- Strong critical thinking, sound judgment, learning mindset, and resourcefulness; comfortable challenging existing control designs constructively
- Comfortable using AI and digital tools to modernize analysis, documentation, reporting, and control execution
- Clear communicator across frontline teams through executive leadership
Preferred:
- Experience with large-scale software implementations and/or enterprise business process control environments
- Utility industry experience
- Professional certification such as CIA, CISA, or CRISC (or equivalent)
- Experience producing executive-level presentations, SOX status reports, governance materials, control deficiency memos, remediation plans, process flows, and control narratives
- Experience identifying opportunities to automate or simplify SOX controls and modernize documentation using AI-enabled or digital productivity tools
Education and Experience:
Bachelor's degree preferred in business, accounting, finance, information systems, technology, engineering, or a related field; equivalent experience may be considered. Minimum 7+ years of relevant experience.
