Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

Reporting to the Finance Director for Risk and Control, this role will partner with stakeholders across our fast moving business on change projects and initiatives to ensure SOX is effectively and efficiently embedded.

Initially this will see you establish a SOX testing team, based in India, to in-source SOX management testing. You will support the creation of the team’s approach, structure and ways of working, facilitating a seamless integration with the existing SOX team and first line of defence stakeholders. Once set up, the team will then move into our BAU structure. Following this you will support a finance systems transformation, to build in the SOX consideration into design and the system roll out.

You will sit in a broader finance risk and control function dedicated to shaping SOX delivery across the three lines of defence that currently consists of a team of Control Partners and SOX methodology specialists.

  • Form and lead a dedicated SOX testing and support team based in India to establish robust long-term operational frameworks.
  • Partner with the core SOX team to continuously improve and accelerate operational ways of working.
  • Act as the primary controls lead for a major finance systems transformation project.
  • Translate complex accounting and Sarbanes-Oxley concepts into simple, actionable language for diverse stakeholders.
  • Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and finance teams to embed risk management into day-to-day operations.
  • Design and build teams, processes, policies, and ways of working to support SOX compliance.

Qualifications

  • Professional background demonstrating deep expertise in Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), gained either within professional practice or industry.
  • Demonstrated project and programme management experience, successfully delivering complex cross-functional initiatives.
  • Proven capability to build teams, processes, policies, and operational frameworks from scratch.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills with a track record of working effectively alongside product and engineering teams.
  • Ability to interpret and translate technical Sarbanes-Oxley and accounting concepts into clear, actionable guidance.

Additional Information

Preferred Skills:

  • Familiarity with general IT controls alongside business process control frameworks.
  • Experience managing or establishing offshore teams and operational support structures.
  • High comfort level navigating ambiguity and thriving in a fast-paced growth environment.

For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive.

We're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.

Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
