WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON

As the Director of the ICFR Recurring pillar within the FG&C team, you’ll partner with stakeholders across our global teams to govern the internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) environment. As part of this work, you will identify future state SOX risks and controls, monitor and assess ICFR readiness of transformational programs, tackle problems, and identify ways to innovate, standardize, optimize, and automate the way our business works today.

This role leads the Systems & Finance Transformation pillar within the FG&C team, managing a team of two team members and interacting frequently with other FG&C directors around the globe as well as with IT Compliance, Global Technology (GT), and the Global Process Owner (GPO teams leading transformational projects. This role has broad exposure globally to Controlling, Finance, and Technology leadership and is the primary point of contact for our SOX readiness for all transformational programs. This role is also crucial to developing and leading ICFR training over the use of automation, data and reporting, interfacing with our auditors to facilitate pre-implementation reviews, and facilitating the annual system scoping processes.

A key skill you will build in this role is leading through ambiguity, assessing the potential risk and controls impact of issues across the organization. Partnering with peers cross-functionally and building strong relationships is a priority in this role where you will often be asked to understand a process, seek out answers to questions, identify where risk lies and identify potential solutions. Working with others in a proactive and service-oriented manner is vital to the way the team operates on a day-to-day basis. A direct and pragmatic approach, coupled with communicating a clear point-of-view to stakeholders is critical to tackling projects, getting work done, and creating lasting change to our processes and control environment.
