ABOUT

THE ROLE We're looking for an Internal Controls Manager to build and own our internal control environment as we scale. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who wants to design controls from the ground up rather than maintain an existing framework. You'll be the first dedicated controls hires, working closely with Finance, Accounting, and Engineering to make sure our processes can withstand an audit, a due diligence process, or a future SOX requirement. At this stage, we don't have a legacy controls environment to inherit, you'll be building it. That means real influence over how the company operates as it scales, direct visibility with our Controller/CFO and auditors, and the opportunity to shape our path toward IPO-readiness or acquisition. It also means ambiguity: you'll need to prioritize and bring structure to a fast-moving environment. RESPONSILITIES 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 — manage the PBC (prepared-by-client) list, walkthroughs, and testing Perform regular control testing (design and operating effectiveness) and track remediation of any deficiencies Assess and document key business processes (order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, payroll, equity/stock admin) 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 (delegation of authority, expense policy, revenue recognition policy, etc.) Support due diligence efforts for fundraising, M&A, or other strategic transactions Educate and train process owners across the company on control

requirements — this role has no built-in authority, so influence and clear communication matter Recommend and help implement systems/tools (ERP, GRC platforms, workflow automation) to scale controls efficiently as headcount and transaction volume grow ABOUT YOU 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 CPA, CIA, or CISA certification preferred (not required if experience is strong) 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 — you'll be writing policies, procedures, and audit-ready documentation regularly A pragmatic mindset: you know the difference between a control that reduces real risk and a control that just creates busywork Experience with ERP systems (NetSuite, Workday) and GRC/audit tools (Workiva, AuditBoard, or similar) is a plus
