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.
