THE ROLE:

We are seeking an IT SOX Auditor to join the Internal Audit team and support the delivery of both the SOX compliance programme and the broader internal audit plan.

Reporting to the IT SOX Manager, this role will lead the testing of the IT SOX control environment, including IT General Controls (ITGCs), IT Application Controls, and key/custom reports. The successful candidate will bring hands-on experience in assessing both the design and operating effectiveness of IT controls and will work closely with control owners to support remediation activities and ensure controls are operating effectively by year-end.

In addition, the role will have a reporting line into the Internal Audit Manager to contribute to the execution of the wider internal audit plan.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead testing of IT SOX controls, including ITGCs, IT Application Controls, and key/custom reports
• Assess and document the design and operating effectiveness of controls in line with SOX requirements
• Identify control deficiencies and partner with control owners to support remediation and track progress
• Perform walkthroughs of IT processes, including documenting end-to-end process flowcharts
• Ensure appropriate documentation and audit evidence is maintained to support testing conclusions
• Support external auditors by providing required documentation and responding to queries
• Contribute to the planning and execution of internal audits beyond SOX, in line with the annual audit plan
• Communicate findings clearly to stakeholders, including senior management where required

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:

• Proven experience in IT SOX compliance and controls testing
• Strong understanding of IT General Controls (e.g., access management, change management, IT operations)
• Experience testing IT Application Controls and system-generated reports (IPE)
• Familiarity with SOX methodologies, control frameworks, and documentation standards
• Ability to assess control design and operating effectiveness with a critical mindset
• Strong stakeholder management skills and ability to work collaboratively with control owners
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• High attention to detail and strong organisational skills

IT WILL BE A BONUS IF YOU COME FROM A BIG 4 CONSULTANCY OR US LISTED COMPANY with the following;

• Experience supporting or delivering internal audits outside of SOX
• Exposure to ERP systems and complex IT environments
• Relevant certifications (e.g., CISA, CIA or equivalent)
• ISO audit experience (e.g., ISO 27001, ISO 9001), including internal audit execution or support
