Head of SOX Internal Audit at Cerebras · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

The Head of SOX & Internal Audit will establish and lead the Company's SOX compliance program and eventually progress towards establishing the Internal Audit function. This individual will serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership and the Audit Committee, providing independent assurance regarding the effectiveness of governance, risk management, internal controls, financial reporting processes, cybersecurity controls, and operational risk management.
The successful candidate will build a scalable, risk-based Internal Audit program aligned with Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) standards and will oversee SOX Section 404 compliance, internal control testing, deficiency remediation, and enterprise risk assessments. The role requires strong leadership, technical expertise, and the ability to partner effectively across Finance, IT, Legal, Operations, Engineering, Security, and executive management.
