Internal Audit Senior Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "Who are we?" which is a description of company. Could be "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content: "Who are we?" (company description) could be considered "About the role"? Might be better as "About the role" but that is about the role, not company. However we have a job summary describing role. Could treat that as "About the role". Also we have responsibilities list. Qualifications & Competencies. Benefits. Pay. No schedule. So we will output sections: About the role (maybe combine Who are we? and Job Summary). Responsibilities. Qualifications (maybe combine Qualifications & Competencies). Benefits. Pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, etc. Also remove "Our pay ranges reflect..." maybe keep pay details but not the explanatory text? We need preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the pay ranges text exactly as given? We can keep the sentences describing pay range but not the boilerplate about individual pay based on factors? That is substantive? It says "Individual pay is based on additional factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education and/or training." That's substantive. Also "The targeted pay range listed reflects the base pay only and does not include bonus, equity, or benefits." That's substantive. Also "Employees are eligible for bonus, and equity may be offered depending on the position." That's substantive. So we keep those. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we cut the EEO paragraph, the accommodation form, the AI hiring process line, the backfill position note? That might be considered boilerplate? It's substantive? It's a note about backfill; maybe keep? It's not about role but could be considered metadata. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. The backfill note is minor metadata; we could drop it. Safer to drop. Also remove duplicated lines: there may be duplicate benefit descriptions for US and Canada; we keep both as they are distinct. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

Then Responsibilities

Responsibilities

• ... each bullet from responsibilities list.

We need to preserve all bullet points. Let's extract them from the responsibilities paragraph. Responsibilities list appears as a paragraph with sentences separated by line breaks? Actually the text: "Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the SOX compliance program, ensuring a top‑down, risk‑based, and right‑sized approach aligned with SEC guidance and PCAOB standardsOptimize the external auditor reliance model and coordinate effectively with other assurance providersAdvise management on process and system improvements with ICFR impact, including process redesigns and policy changesLead SOX readiness for major transformations like system implementations (UAT/test-case review oversight, evidence sufficiency review, and cross-functional escalation to drive issues to closure).Apply a structured, risk-based planning approach leveraging prior audit results and historical risk assessments to plan and lead financial and operational audit and advisory activities beyond SOX, spanning the broader enterprise risk universe.Partner with other BAS team members on integrated audits and cross‑functional BAS initiativesManage the Company’s SOX compliance efforts, including: Annual ICFR scoping, planning, and execution Oversight of walkthroughs, risk assessments, and testing reviews Close coordination and ongoing alignment with external auditors Evaluation of control deficiencies, including impact and scope assessments in collaboration with internal stakeholders; alignment of conclusions with external auditors; preparation of Deficiency Assessment Memos and the Summary of Aggregated Deficiencies (SAD); and monitoring and testing of remediation efforts. Assessment of key initiatives impacting ICFR (e.g., new accounting standards, system implementations, acquisitions, and integrations) Delivery of SOX‑related training and guidance to stakeholdersAssist with the management and oversight of external consultants on select engagementsBuild strong relationships and act as a trusted business advisor, providing value‑added assurance, insights, and recommendations on governance, risk, compliance, and control improvement mattersCommunicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels of the organization to relay findings, influence remediation, and drive issues to closureFoster a collaborative and positive team environment within BAS and with internal customersExecute work efficiently and effectively, monitoring progress against project timelines and departmental budgets" We need to split into sensible bullet points. The original likely had bullet points but got concatenated. We'll need to infer separate duties. Let's try to split by capitalized verbs at start of each sentence after a period. The text seems missing spaces after periods. We'll add spaces manually. Let's rewrite responsibilities as bullet points: - Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the SOX compliance program, ensuring a top‑down, risk‑based, and right‑sized approach aligned with SEC guidance and PCAOB standards - Optimize the external auditor reliance model and coordinate effectively with other assurance providers - Advise management on process and system improvements with ICFR impact, including process redesigns and policy changes - Lead SOX readiness for major transformations like system implementations (UAT/test-case review oversight, evidence sufficiency review, and cross-functional escalation to drive issues to closure) - Apply a structured, risk-based planning approach leveraging prior audit results and historical risk assessments to plan and lead financial and operational audit and advisory activities beyond SOX, spanning the broader enterprise risk universe - Partner with other BAS team members on integrated audits and cross‑functional BAS initiatives - Manage the Company’s SOX compliance efforts, including: - Annual ICFR scoping, planning, and execution - Oversight of walkthroughs, risk assessments, and testing reviews - Close coordination and ongoing alignment with external auditors - Evaluation of control deficiencies, including impact and scope assessments in collaboration with internal stakeholders; alignment of conclusions with external auditors; preparation of Deficiency Assessment Memos and the Summary of Aggregated Deficiencies (SAD); and monitoring and testing of remediation efforts - Assessment of key initiatives impacting ICFR (e.g., new accounting standards, system implementations, acquisitions, and integrations) - Delivery of SOX‑related training and guidance to stakeholders - Assist with the management and oversight of external consultants on select engagements - Build strong relationships and act as a trusted business advisor, providing value‑added assurance, insights, and recommendations on governance, risk, compliance, and control improvement matters - Communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels of the organization to relay findings, influence remediation, and drive issues to closure - Foster a collaborative and positive team environment within BAS and with internal customers - Execute work efficiently and effectively, monitoring progress against project timelines and departmental budgets We need to keep the nested list under Manage the Company’s SOX compliance efforts. Use

• for top-level; nested
  • for subitems. Now Qualifications & Competencies: we need to extract bullet points. Paragraph: "Strong SOX experience with deep knowledge of audit, accounting, financial processes, risk management, and internal controlsAbility to operate effectively in a fast‑paced, global, and complex environment, balancing independent work with team leadership and collaborationAbility to improve the efficiency of the SOX program through innovative usage of AI toolsProven ability to lead projects, influence stakeholders, and work cross‑functionally across geographiesExcellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to effect change through collaboration, credibility, and professional judgmentStrong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to assess issues quickly, identify root causes, and recommend practical solutionsCommitment to quality, continuous improvement, and professional growthSelf‑motivated, proactive, and results‑oriented with a strong sense of ownership and accountabilityWillingness to travel domestically and internationally (up to 10%)Experience with the following systems is a plus: Oracle Cloud, PBCS, Siebel CRM & UCM, Workday, Salesforce, Coupa, Power BI, Tableau, Oracle Subscription Management, Revenue Management Cloud Services Minimum 8 years of relevant experience, including SOX and/or audit experience; Big 4 or national audit firm experience and/or related experience at a multinational public company strongly preferredStrong knowledge of US GAAP, SEC guidance, PCAOB standards, and COSO 2013 CPA required; additional certifications a plus (CIA, CISA, CRMA, etc.)Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required; advanced degree (MBA or MS) a plus" We need to split into bullet points. Likely each sentence separated by missing spaces. Let's add spaces after periods. List: - Strong SOX experience with deep knowledge of audit, accounting, financial processes, risk management, and internal controls - Ability to operate effectively in a fast‑paced, global, and complex environment, balancing independent work with team leadership and collaboration - Ability to improve the efficiency of the SOX program through innovative usage of AI tools - Proven ability to lead projects, influence stakeholders, and work cross‑functionally across geographies - Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to effect change through collaboration, credibility, and professional judgment - Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to assess issues quickly, identify root causes, and recommend practical solutions - Commitment to quality, continuous improvement, and professional growth - Self‑motivated, proactive, and results‑oriented with a strong sense of ownership and accountability - Willingness to travel domestically and internationally (up to 10%) - Experience with the following systems is a plus: Oracle Cloud, PBCS, Siebel CRM & UCM, Workday, Salesforce, Coupa, Power BI, Tableau, Oracle Subscription Management, Revenue Management Cloud Services - Minimum 8 years of relevant
