- Lead financial risk and internal control design for compute and infrastructure accounting
- Develop and execute the SOX control plan and roadmap for compute and infrastructure
- Own scoping, risk assessment, walkthroughs, testing, remediation, and reporting activities for compute and infrastructure processes
- Build scalable, automated, and sustainable controls to support growth through pre-IPO and post-IPO readiness
- Pioneer the use of AI and automation to enhance control effectiveness
Minimum qualifications:
- Have designed controls over cloud, compute, or infrastructure cost, or over a comparable high-volume, usage-based process
- Have proven ability to establish or scale SOX controls at newly public or pre-IPO companies
- Possess deep understanding of compute accruals, vendor commitments, cost allocation, financial close, and US GAAP requirements
Preferred qualifications:
- Have 12+ years of hands-on SOX, internal audit, or internal controls experience
- CPA (or similar certification) and/ or CISA
- Familiarity with cloud provider billing and commitment structures (AWS, GCP, Azure)
