Director of SOX and Internal Controls

Job description

We’re expanding into enterprise and defense - bringing our obsessive attention to performance, design, and U.S.-based manufacturing into high-stakes environments like search and rescue and military innovation. With several of our products already approved by the Defense Innovation Unit, we’re solving procurement issues for customers who demand speed, agility, and compliance.

If you love working at the intersection of community, content, and cutting-edge technology, you’ll feel right at home here.

The Director, SOX & Internal Controls will lead the development and ongoing maturation of Unusual Machines' SOX compliance and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) program.

Job responsibilities

  • Lead the Company's SOX and ICFR program, including scoping, risk assessment, control design, documentation, testing, remediation, and ongoing monitoring.
  • Develop and maintain process narratives, flowcharts, Risk and Control Matrices (RCMs), testing procedures, and supporting documentation across key financial and operational processes.
  • Partner with control owners across Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, HR, and IT to establish clear ownership, evidence standards, review expectations, and accountability.
  • Evaluate control design and operating effectiveness, identify deficiencies and root causes, and drive timely, sustainable remediation.
  • Partner with IT, on IT General Controls (ITGCs), user access, change management, segregation of duties (SOD), system interfaces, and key reports.
  • Coordinate SOX activities with external auditors and advisors, including walkthroughs, testing, PBC requests, remediation, and reliance strategies.
  • Establish scalable SOX policies, procedures, testing methodologies, evidence standards, and deficiency-evaluation protocols.
  • Support the Corporate Controller and CFO with control-deficiency assessments and reporting to executive management and the Audit Committee.

Job requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, Information Systems, or related field.
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in SOX, internal controls, internal/external audit, accounting advisory, or related disciplines, including leadership responsibility.
  • Significant hands-on experience with SOX 404, ICFR, risk assessment, control design, walkthroughs, testing, deficiency evaluation, and remediation.
  • Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP, financial reporting processes, and financial-statement risks.
  • Experience developing RCMs, process narratives, testing documentation, and control evidence.
  • Strong knowledge of ITGCs, user access, change management, SOD, system interfaces, and key reports.
  • Experience working directly with external auditors and coordinating controls across multiple business functions.
  • Strong analytical, project-management, and problem-solving skills with demonstrated ability to identify root causes and drive remediation.
