  • Provide advisory on controls design and governance for large-scale transformation programs
  • Partner with business and IT teams to embed controls into system design, build, and testing phases
  • Conduct impact assessments for system changes, identifying risks and control gaps

Audit, Testing & Assurance (Second Line of Defense)

  • Perform independent testing of IT controls to assess design and operating effectiveness
  • Review documentation and evidence to ensure audit readiness and compliance
  • Support internal and external audit processes, including reliance on management testing
  • Identify control deficiencies and work with stakeholders on remediation

SAP & Data Governance

  • Provide expertise in SAP audit, including access controls, authorizations, and segregation of duties (SoD)
  • Advise on data migration and integration controls during system implementations
  • Ensure robust governance across data lifecycle processes (ETL, reconciliation, validation)

Stakeholder & Program Engagement

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including program leads, process owners, and auditors
  • Serve as a key advisor to governance forums on risk, controls, and compliance matters
  • Drive alignment between business processes and IT control frameworks

What We’re Looking For

  • 8–12+ years of experience in IT GRC, IT audit, or risk advisory
  • Strong expertise in SOX compliance, ITGC, and ITAC frameworks
  • Hands-on experience in SAP environments (ECC and/or S/4HANA), including SAP audit and GRC tools
  • Proven track record supporting large-scale ERP or digital transformation programs
  • Strong understanding of business processes and their interaction with IT controls
  • Experience in Big 4 or similar advisory environments is highly preferred
  • Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CIA (preferred)
  • Strong analytical thinking, communication, and stakeholder management skills

Why Join?

  • Be part of a major global transformation program involving SAP S/4HANA
  • High-impact role with visibility across business and technology functions
  • Opportunity to work in a dynamic, fast-evolving environment
  • Access to continuous learning and professional development programs
  • Competitive compensation and benefits package

If you’re a high-impact IT GRC professional who thrives on navigating complex SOX environments and SAP transformations, this is your stage to shine!
