IT Compliance Manager

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an IT Compliance Manager based in India. This is a high-impact opportunity to help shape and strengthen an enterprise IT compliance program within a fast-growing, technology-driven environment. You will focus heavily on SOX 404 compliance across IT General Controls (ITGCs) and IT Application Controls (ITACs), supporting systems that underpin financial reporting. The role combines hands-on control testing and remediation with broader ownership of compliance initiatives, risk assessment, and control design. You will collaborate closely with Engineering, Product, Security, Finance, Compliance, and audit teams across a modern SaaS and cloud technology landscape. A key focus will be making compliance more scalable through automation, continuous controls monitoring, and intelligent technology-enabled workflows. You will have significant influence without relying on direct authority, helping teams balance engineering velocity with sustainable, effective controls. This role is well suited to an experienced IT audit or technology risk professional who thrives in complex, evolving environments. Support the development and execution of the IT Compliance program and strategy, including SOX ITGC and ITAC scoping, risk assessments, documentation, and testing readiness. Conduct control design assessments and periodic operating-effectiveness testing across ITGCs and ITACs, communicate findings, and report results to leadership. Own compliance outcomes within assigned domains and lead multi-quarter initiatives such as system onboarding, control rationalization, evidence automation, and continuous controls monitoring. Oversee ITGC operations covering logical access, change management, computer operations, backup and recovery, job scheduling, logging, and cloud configuration controls. Manage the ITAC portfolio, including key automated controls, key reports and information produced by the entity (IPE), configuration controls, and interface or data-transfer controls. Maintain an accurate inventory of systems and tools supporting financial reporting and apply risk-based prioritization to control implementation and testing. Lead internal and external IT audits, SOX reviews, and control assessments by facilitating walkthroughs, coordinating evidence requests, supporting testing, and communicating progress to leadership. Partner with control owners to identify root causes, design remediation plans, validate corrective actions, and prevent recurring findings. Introduce automation and intelligent engineering practices into compliance workflows, including automated evidence collection, analytics, and continuous controls monitoring. Help evaluate and guide the responsible adoption of AI-enabled technologies in alignment with compliance requirements, control objectives, and technology roadmaps. Define and communicate control architecture and requirements while ensuring controls remain preventive, repeatable, scalable, and sustainable as technology environments evolve. Evaluate change management and SDLC controls across CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code environments, and automated access workflows. Prepare and maintain high-quality compliance documentation, including narratives, flowcharts, risk-and-control matrices, and testing workpapers. Partner with Engineering, Product, Security, Finance, and Compliance teams, coach control owners, resolve issues constructively, and promote a culture of disciplined innovation and continuous improvement. Requirements Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Accounting, Management Information Systems, Finance, or a related field. 7–10 years of progressive experience in IT audit, internal controls, technology risk management, or a related discipline, including experience with supervisory or leadership responsibilities. Big Four accounting or consulting experience is preferred. Professio
