About the Role
We are seeking an Internal Controls Manager to build and own our internal control environment as we scale. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to design controls from the ground up. You will be the first dedicated controls hire, working closely with Finance, Accounting, and Engineering to ensure our processes are audit-ready and prepared for future SOX requirements. This role offers significant influence over company operations, direct visibility with leadership, and the opportunity to shape our path toward IPO-readiness.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and document internal controls across financial reporting, revenue recognition, procurement, payroll, and access management.
- Build a SOX-readiness roadmap and lead SOX 404 implementation as the company approaches an IPO or other trigger events.
- Partner with external auditors on annual financial statement audits, managing the PBC list, walkthroughs, and testing.
- Perform regular control testing (design and operating effectiveness) and track remediation of any deficiencies.
- Assess and document key business processes and identify control gaps.
- Own risk assessment: identify financial, operational, and fraud risks and prioritize controls accordingly.
- Work cross-functionally with Engineering and IT on SOC 1/SOC 2 readiness, access controls, and change management controls.
- Draft and maintain policies and procedures.
- Support due diligence efforts for fundraising, M&A, or other strategic transactions.
- Educate and train process owners across the company on control requirements.
- Recommend and help implement systems/tools to scale controls efficiently.
Requirements
- 5–7 years of experience in internal controls, internal audit, external audit (Big 4 or regional firm), or a combination of these.
- Deep working knowledge of SOX 404, COSO framework, and internal control design/testing.
- Experience taking a company through a SOX 404 readiness process or first-year SOX compliance strongly preferred.
- Prior experience at a high-growth startup or in a company transitioning from private to public.
- Strong understanding of GAAP and financial reporting processes.
- Comfortable working with limited process documentation and building things from scratch.
- Excellent written communication skills.
- A pragmatic mindset: ability to differentiate between effective risk reduction and unnecessary busywork.
- Experience with ERP systems (NetSuite, Workday) and GRC/audit tools (Workiva, AuditBoard, or similar) is a plus.
