We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our team as a seasoned IT Controls and Compliance expert ready to make a significant impact at the heart of our External Financial Reporting Team, ensuring the integrity of our technology controls and fortifying our SOX framework.

This isn't just about maintaining compliance; it's about being a strategic partner and thought leader during a period of technology transformation. You'll be the primary liaison for internal and external auditors, guiding control owners through complex issues, and proactively identifying and addressing control deficiencies.

What You'll Do:

• Maintain the complete listing of ITGCS and application controls within the Equifax SOX control framework
• Key point person for Internal and External auditors to facilitate their walkthrough and testing of technology controls.
• Support control owners by working with them to navigate potential audit issues as they arise
• Meet regularly with EY, IA and the control owners to discuss control deficiencies identified and remediation efforts
• Maintain a comprehensive understanding of the business strategy, key objectives, success factors and related risks to Equifax
• Provide thought leadership for implementing new application controls as a result of technology transformation efforts. Help control owners think through how best to support changes in our IT control environment as a result of transformation for auditing purposes
• Quarterly present the Summary of control deficiencies along with planned remediation steps to the Chief Accounting Officer
• Quarterly review and assess IT internal audit reports for SOX impacts. Provide documentation to EY to support their audit

Experience You'll Need:

• Knowledge of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)
• Strong technical and data analytical skills and ability to interpret complex information and adapt as needed.
• Knowledge and experience with IT audit principles and standards, emerging technology, IT operations, system development, project management and ERP systems
• Experience working effectively as a team player
• Excellent communication skills including experience interacting effectively with all levels of management and quickly building strong relationships with key contacts
• Must be an effective decision maker as this role requires some discretion in developing and implementing key decisions on diverse and complex issues
• Requires in-depth knowledge and experience needed to operate independently with limited guidance and oversight

What Will Set You Apart:

• Bachelor’s degree required in either Accounting or Information Systems or other relevant field. An advanced degree is a plus.
• 5 to 7 years of experience.
• Big 4 audit or advisory experience preferred.
• CISA, CISM, CISSP, CPA or other related equivalent certifications preferred.
