Overview
We are looking for a hands-on SOX Implementation Contractor with proven Year 1 SOX implementation experience to support a Financial Services organisation at a critical stage of its SOX journey. This role requires someone who has been directly involved in a first-year SOX implementation, helping to build, establish and operationalise the framework from the ground up. The successful candidate will need to be comfortable operating at both a strategic and delivery level — reviewing frameworks, assessing quality of delivery, and also taking a hands-on role in execution.
