Responsibilities

  • SOX Control Testing: Independently execute SOX-mandated control testing across Ford's global process landscape, ensuring strict adherence to compliance timelines and quality benchmarks, applying sound professional judgment built from prior audit experience.
  • Smart Reviews: Conduct data-driven "Smart Reviews"—leveraging data analytics and AI-assisted pattern and anomaly detection where applicable—to proactively identify control gaps, process bottlenecks, and operational inefficiencies.
  • Data Analytics & Automation Translation: Analyze manual control test steps, apply data analytics techniques to identify testing patterns and exceptions, and translate manual steps into automated workflows in partnership with transformation teams.
  • Critical Evaluation & Root Cause Analysis: Apply critical thinking to challenge surface-level explanations, evaluate control design effectiveness, and drive investigations to true root cause — including professionally challenging initial explanations to validate the actual root cause.
  • Insightful Communication: Articulate complex control gaps, system workarounds, and root causes clearly to global process owners and senior stakeholders, including defending testing conclusions when challenged.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with local management, process owners, and global IC teams across time zones to design and implement sustainable remediation plans.
  • Agile Governance: Maintain and update Risk Control Matrices (RCMs) and process documentation, leveraging GRC platforms such as AuditBoard / Optro or similar GRC platforms.
  • Mentorship & Quality Oversight: Provide guidance and quality review support to junior team members, drawing on depth of prior audit/IC experience.
  • Dynamic Project Support: Maintain flexibility to support emerging management priorities, special project support, and executive reporting.

Qualifications

  • Chartered Accountant (CA) / Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) / Certified Management Accountant (CMA) / equivalent professional qualification, with 3–4 years of relevant experience in Internal Controls, Internal Audit, or related risk/compliance functions.
  • Demonstrated working experience using AI-enabled tools in an audit, controls, or compliance context.
  • Prior hands-on experience with AuditBoard/ Optro (preferable)
