YOU Simpson Strong-Tie’s Internal Audit team provides independent, objective audit and consulting services designed to add value and improve Company operations. The team evaluates the effectiveness of risk management, business process controls, financial controls, governance practices, and operational efficiency to help management achieve organizational objectives. This position focuses on planning, testing, and executing management’s internal audit projects and the Company’s internal controls program with an emphasis on business processes, accounting processes, and SOX 404 compliance. This role is not IT-focused—our IT audit work is performed by a separate team. However, you will collaborate with IT partners when business-process controls intersect with systems. Under the supervision of the Internal Audit Senior Manager, this individual will support the execution of the annual SOX program (specifically business and accounting processes), operational audits, and special projects. This includes scoping, process walkthroughs, control testing, identifying improvement opportunities, and assisting with external auditor requests. The role also includes contributing to remediation efforts and supporting business leaders in strengthening control environments.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related discipline.
3–5 years of experience in internal audit, external audit, operational audit, or SOX testing, preferably in a public company or professional services firm.

Familiarity with COSO Internal Control Framework.
Strong working knowledge of SOX 404 requirements, business-process risk, and internal control concepts.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially in documenting findings and developing recommendations.

Ability to work professionally under deadlines and manage multiple projects.
Proactive, positive attitude; strong team player who can also work independently.
