Tech & Assurance Manager

As an FRMC Manager, Technology & Assurance, you will provide independent oversight and quality assurance over the delivery of D&T SOx testing performed by a third party. Reporting to the Director, Technology Risk & Governance, this global role is based in the UK and works closely under the guidance of the Senior Managers for SOx testing to ensure IT General Controls, ITACs, key reports, EUCT and BOTs are tested to a consistent, high‑quality, audit‑ready standard aligned with internal methodology and external audit expectations.

Key responsibilities

• Support the end‑to‑end IT SOx assurance approach for ITGCs, ITACs, BOTs and EUCTs in line with FRMC and D&T Governance methodology, including the annual SOx scoping exercise for in‑scope systems, applications, interfaces, automations and reports.
• Act as the day‑to‑day contact for the SOx testing vendor, ensuring clear expectations on testing approach, documentation standards, timelines and deliverables, and support audit walkthroughs and testing discussions under the direction of Senior Managers.
• Perform detailed quality assurance over test scripts, evidence, sampling and conclusions to ensure audit‑ready outcomes, validate testing populations, and evaluate deficiencies consistently in line with PCAOB and SOx expectations.
• Identify opportunities to improve testing quality, efficiency and coverage through automation, analytics and refined scoping, while strengthening overall FRMC assurance maturity over time.
• Partner closely with FRMC Governance and Operations and D&T GRC to share technology risk insights, strengthen end‑to‑end assurance, support remediation guidance and business project impact assessments, and embed greater technology and automation understanding across the broader controls community.

Qualifications and skills

• Demonstrated experience in IT controls testing, audit interactions and quality assurance, with the ability to ensure testing is consistent, complete and audit ready.
• Strong understanding of SAP landscapes, interfaces, middleware, automated controls, reporting dependencies, and broader IT risk and controls concepts within a finance environment.
• Ability to analyse complex design, process and system issues, link IT controls and system risks to financial statement assertions, and adapt to evolving PCAOB and SOx regulatory expectations in a global operating environment.
• Preferred: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Finance or a related field. Professional certification such as CISA, CRISC, CA, CPA or equivalent would be an advantage.
