Job Description
A client of Insight Global is seeking a highly experienced ITGC & SOX Readiness Lead to serve as the central architect and owner of our IT General Controls (ITGC) program. This is a strategic GRC role designed for a hands-on leader who goes beyond checklist testing to partner deeply with Engineering, IT, and Finance to build scalable, defensible, and audit-ready controls.
This is not an Internal Audit role. Instead, you will operate as a “Line 1.5” enablement and readiness leader, responsible for ensuring controls are properly scoped, well-designed, automated where possible, and operating effectively before Internal and External Auditors begin formal validation.
You will own the full ITGC readiness lifecycle—from scoping and control design to interim self-testing, remediation, and audit coordination—ensuring predictable outcomes and eliminating last-minute surprises.
We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.To learn more about how we collect, keep, and process your private information, please review Insight Global's Workforce Privacy Policy: https://insightglobal.com/workforce-privacy-policy/.
