About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior SOX IT Auditor to join our SOX and Internal Controls organization in Pune. This role will lead and execute risk-based assessments of IT controls supporting financial reporting, helping ensure the design and operating effectiveness of controls across our technology environment. Reporting to the SOX IT Manager, you will partner with Technology, Finance, Accounting, business-process owners, and external auditors to evaluate IT risks, test controls, support remediation, and drive continuous improvement. You will bring sound judgment, robust technical audit expertise, and a collaborative approach to helping teams build scalable, audit-ready processes. This role directly supports the organization’s evaluation of internal control over financial reporting. Under SOX Section 404, management and external auditors report on the adequacy of those controls. The team’s work includes evaluating controls across system and transaction flows, partnering with technical and business owners on control design, and supporting the testing that informs management’s conclusion on internal controls. For major SOX-scoped implementations, the team may engage throughout UAT to confirm that testing is satisfactorily completed and documented.

Responsibilties:

- Lead end-to-end, risk-based SOX testing for IT general controls, automated application controls, and IT-dependent manual controls.
- Assess the design and operating effectiveness of controls across logical access, privileged access, change management, system development lifecycle, interfaces, job scheduling, data integrity, and key system configurations.
- Partner with control and system owners to understand end-to-end business and technology processes, identify financial-reporting risks, and define effective control activities.
- Review requirements, solution designs, implementation plans, and evidence for significant changes affecting SOX-scoped systems and processes.




- Evaluate UAT and associated documentation for SOX-scoped implementations and significant system changes, where applicable.
- Develop clear test plans, workpapers, evidence requests, testing conclusions, and issue documentation in accordance with internal methodology.
- Communicate control findings, root causes, and practical remediation recommendations to technical and business stakeholders.
- Track remediation plans, validate corrective actions, and escalate risks or delays as appropriate.
- Support quarterly and annual management SOX assessments, including coordination with external auditors.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to stakeholders on control design, documentation, evidence quality, and audit readiness.
- Contribute to continuous improvement through control rationalization, automation, analytics, and enhancements to GRC and audit-management processes.
- Coach and review the work of junior team members as needed.
