About the Role
The Analyst, Audit, Risk & Controls supports Nscale's internal control environment across IT SOX, internal audit, business process reviews, and enterprise risk management. Working within the Finance team and reporting to the Director, Audit, Risk & Controls, this is a hands-on role covering control design, testing, documentation, and ongoing monitoring across both IT and business process domains.
This is a deliberately broad role. Depending on the candidate's background, the primary focus may sit closer to IT general controls and systems, or to business process controls and financial reporting. We expect to hire more than one person and welcome applicants from both profiles.
What You'll Be Doing
IT SOX & General Controls
- Support the design, documentation, and testing of IT general controls (ITGCs) across in-scope systems
- Perform walkthroughs and test design and operating effectiveness of controls covering access management, change management, SDLC, and backup & recovery
- Maintain and update ITGC documentation, control matrices, and testing workpapers
- Support user access reviews, segregation of duties (SoD) assessments, and role-based access management processes
- Assist in identifying, tracking, and remediating IT control gaps and deficiencies
- Contribute to system implementation reviews and ITGC scoping for new platforms entering the control environment
