Lead annual SOX risk assessment, materiality determinations, and design and implementation of key and non-key controls, including manual, automated, and IT-dependent controls.

Partner with Controllership, FP&A, Tax, Treasury, Operations, Compliance, Legal, Product, and Engineering to embed controls into order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, record-to-report, revenue recognition, payroll, treasury, and digital asset safeguarding as well as ensuring consistent control design across emerging products and jurisdictions and cross-functional accountability.

Drive timely remediation of control deficiencies by designing sustainable corrective actions and serving as primary liaison with Internal Audit and external auditors during SOX testing, walkthroughs, and evidence requests and ensuring control sustainability post-remediation.

Build scalable control automation, continuous monitoring, and data analytics capabilities that improve effectiveness, reduce manual effort, and enable earlier risk detection.

Develop executive reporting for the CAO, CFO, and Audit Committee, and establish governance, training, and guidance for control owners across all global business units and enterprise-wide risk visibility.
