You’ll be COMMUNICATING FOR IMPACT, translating complex technology risks into clear business decisions while bringing an Outrageously Extraordinary mindset to how we continuously improve our SOX program.

• Execute SharkNinja’s IT SOX strategy, establishing clear governance, priorities, ownership, and accountability for a strong and sustainable technology control environment.
• Provide technical governance over ITGCs, partnering with control owners to design, maintain, monitor, and continuously improve controls across access security, SOD, change management, and IT operations.
• Provide governance and guidance for automated application controls, key reports, system interfaces, and other technology-dependent controls supporting financial reporting.
• Anticipate SOX impacts from new systems, implementations, upgrades, integrations, and business or technology transformations, ensuring control considerations are addressed early.
• Provide technical SOX expertise across complex ERP and enterprise applications, including Oracle Fusion and Salesforce.
• Monitor control health and emerging risks, using insights and trends to strengthen controls, training, and governance.
• Drive remediation of control deficiencies through sustainable closure, constructively challenging root causes, remediation plans, and closure evidence, including matters involving significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.
• Maintain independent Line 2 oversight while partnering effectively with IT, Finance, Internal Audit, external auditors, and control owners.
• Deliver concise, executive-ready reporting on control health, risks, deficiencies, remediation progress, and areas requiring leadership attention.
• Develop team capabilities while advancing a more scalable SOX program through standardization, automation, data analytics, continuous monitoring, and responsible use of emerging technologies.
