The role, as it was posted
The Opportunity
Adobe’s Risk Advisory & Assurance Services (RAAS) team is seeking a Senior Manager to lead our IT SOX compliance program and ensure the technology controls supporting financial reporting are well-designed, effective, and scalable.
This role requires deep expertise in IT SOX and IT general controls, including SAP and cloud environments, along with a solid grasp of enterprise systems, data flows, and end-to-end business processes.
Partnering with the Senior Director, RAAS, you will manage the IT SOX program. You will engage with IT, Finance, control owners, co-sourced testing providers, and external auditors to ensure the program remains efficient and effective.
How You Will Make an Impact
Strategic Partnership
- Serve as a trusted advisor to IT, Finance, and business leaders, building strong relationships and applying forward-looking technology risk judgment to anticipate change, identify emerging risks, and shape decisions.
- Represent IT SOX within Adobe's broader assurance landscape, aligning with second-line and other assurance teams to reduce duplication and strengthen overall risk coverage.
IT SOX Program Ownership
- Own the IT SOX compliance program from planning and scoping through testing, remediation, and reporting, setting the annual audit strategy alongside SOX PMO, Finance, IT control owners, our co-sourced provider, and external auditors.
- Continually reshape the IT SOX roadmap and operating model, including capability and resourcing needs, to stay ahead of changes in Adobe's business and technology landscape rather than reacting to them.
- Be the trusted counterpart for our external auditor on IT SOX matters, shaping scope, reliance, testing approach, and evidence expectations to raise efficiency without giving up assurance quality.
- Own IT control deficiencies going beyond symptoms to root cause, weighing severity and financial risk, and validating that remediation actually holds up and prevents recurrence.
Systems, Controls & Technical Judgment
- Understand Adobe's financial systems, data, and cloud architecture from infrastructure to finance applications to know which controls matter most.
- Get ahead of major business and technology transformations by embedding risk and control thinking into the build rather than adding it retroactively.
Automation, Innovation & Training
- Drive automation, analytics, and continuous monitoring to improve program effectiveness, and assess how AI and automation affect the control environment.
- Train control owners and business partners on SOX responsibilities and control design, building control awareness across the organization over time.
People Leadership & Coaching
- Coach and develop audit professionals through clear priorities, feedback, growth opportunities, and leadership development.
- Build an inclusive, high-accountability culture focused on quality, collaboration, and continuous learning.
