Job Description

At Uber, we're not just moving people and things; we're building a global business grounded in integrity. Our Financial Risk Management (FRM) SOX Assurance team is the backbone of that integrity, ensuring our financial reporting is accurate, trustworthy, and compliant with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX).

As a Senior on this team, you'll be on the front lines, safeguarding our financial data and helping us navigate the complexities of a dynamic, global company. This isn't just about checking boxes—it's about asking the right questions, acting with conviction, and boldly improving our processes to drive meaningful outcomes and maintain the trust of our stakeholders.

What You’ll Do:

Program Management and Execution: Oversee the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance program for designated business process areas. This includes managing the full project lifecycle, from initial planning and scoping through comprehensive testing and final reporting, to ensure the timely completion of all deliverables.
Risk Assessment and Control Evaluation: Conduct end-to-end evaluations of internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR). This responsibility entails identifying key financial reporting risks, assessing the design of controls, and executing tests of their operating effectiveness in collaboration with IT SOX specialists.
Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as a primary liaison to key stakeholders, including business process owners, as well as internal and external audit teams. Cultivate and maintain professional relationships to facilitate effective communication and alignment on program objectives.
Deficiency Management and Remediation: Assist in the process for identifying and evaluating control deficiencies. Investigate root causes, partner with business units to ensure corrective action plans are appropriate, and monitor remediation efforts through to successful completion.
Process Enhancements and Optimization: Drive continuous improvement initiatives within the SOX program. Identify and recommend opportunities to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of compliance activities through control optimization, process automation, and the application of data analytics.
Team Mentorship and Development: Provide mentorship and professional guidance to new or junior analysts. This includes reviewing work products, delivering constructive feedback, and fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous learning.
Reporting and Analysis: Assist in the preparation of clear and concise reports for Financial Risk Management (FRM) leadership and key stakeholders. These communications will articulate the status of SOX compliance, highlight significant risks, and provide actionable insights on overall control effectiveness.
Regulatory Compliance: Stay abreast of changes in SOX and other related regulations and best practices, and ensure the company's compliance program is updated accordingly. This includes monitoring changes to PCAOB auditing standards and SEC guidance.
