Verkada is seeking an experienced SOX Manager to lead and mature the company's Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) 404 compliance program. This role is critical for ensuring the design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) across a complex, multi-subsidiary, international organization.
Key responsibilities include owning the end-to-end SOX 404 compliance program, including risk assessment, scoping, control design, testing strategy, and remediation tracking. You will partner with process owners across Accounting, FP&A, Revenue, Procurement, Payroll, IT, and other functions to document, evaluate, and continuously improve key controls. The role requires identifying control gaps and deficiencies, driving root-cause analysis and remediation plans, and maintaining process narratives, risk-control matrices, and flowcharts to reflect current-state processes.
You will monitor changes in the business (new revenue streams, entities, system implementations, M&A) and assess SOX scoping implications. Support ITGC (IT General Controls) testing coordination with IT and security teams, prepare quarterly and annual SOX status reporting for management and external auditors, and drive automation and efficiency improvements in control execution and testing. The role includes providing training and guidance to control owners on control design and SOX requirements, and staying current on PCAOB, SEC, and COSO framework developments.
The ideal candidate has 5–8 years of relevant experience in SOX compliance, internal audit, external audit (Big 4 or national firm), or internal controls, with meaningful time in a SOX Manager or Senior SOX Analyst role. Strong working knowledge of COSO Internal Control Framework and SOX 404 requirements is essential. Experience managing or significantly contributing to a public company or pre-IPO SOX program is required. You should have solid understanding of key financial processes (Revenue, Procurement-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash, Payroll, Inventory, Financial Close) and associated risks and controls.
Experience with ITGCs and coordinating with IT/security teams on system-related controls is important. A Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field is required. CPA, CIA, or CISA certification is preferred or actively pursued. Strong project management skills, excellent written and verbal communication, and proficiency with NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar ERP systems are essential. Experience with GRC/audit management tools (AuditBoard, Workiva, SOX Hub) is a plus. This is a full-time, in-office role requiring 5 days per week on-site in San Mateo.
