Job Description

The Vice President, Financial Controls will lead the design, operation, and continuous improvement of our SOX 404 control environment. This leader will partner closely with key business functions to ensure controls are appropriately designed, documented, tested, and remediated—while building strong relationships with internal and external auditors. This is a hands-on leadership role suited for an experienced executive who can quickly assess the current state, prioritize risk, drive remediation, and elevate control maturity across a dynamic, international organization. Reporting directly to the Chief Accounting Officer in the US, you will play a pivotal role in driving operational excellence, financial integrity, and compliance across the organization. While this is a fixed term contract, it may extend or convert to a longer-term or permanent position based on evolving business needs and organizational priorities.

Job Responsibility

  • Oversee the design, documentation, and operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (ICFR)
  • Establish and maintain standards for process documentation (narratives, flowcharts, risk/control matrices), evidence quality, and control ownership accountability
  • Partner cross-functionally to ensure controls are embedded in day-to-day operations across Finance and key business processes
  • Collaborate closely with IT and Security leaders to ensure effective IT general controls (ITGCs) and relevant application controls
  • Identify control gaps and deficiencies
  • perform root-cause analysis and develop practical remediation plans
  • Validate remediation effectiveness and ensure corrective actions are sustainable and scalable
  • Serve as primary point of contact for Internal Audit on SOX testing strategy, issue evaluation, and reporting
  • Prepare reports and updates for the Audit Committee, external auditors, and executive leadership
  • Communicate effectively with external auditors to understand issues, resolve differences, and drive efficient, solution-oriented outcomes
  • Develop, coach, and lead the financial controls team
  • assess structure/capacity and implement improvements to scale the controls function
  • Drive continuous improvement through control rationalization, standardization, and appropriate automation
  • Provide leadership through periods of change (e.g., growth initiatives, system changes, new geographies), ensuring controls evolve with the business

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • CA/CPA or equivalent certification required
  • 10+ years of progressive accounting or financial controls experience
  • At least 5 years in a senior leadership capacity
  • Prior experience in a public company overseeing SOX 404 / ICFR controls and partnering with external auditors
  • Proven track record of remediating control deficiencies
  • Strong knowledge of public company control environment best practices, documentation standards, and compliance expectations
  • Experience operating in an international organization (multi-entity and/or cross-border processes) preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally and influence senior stakeholders across Finance, IT, and the broader business
  • Strong leadership presence with the ability to drive results, build operating cadence, and develop high-performing teams
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Highly organized and execution-focused, with strong judgment, integrity, and attention to detail
  • Strong knowledge of IFRS and public company SOX compliance required
  • Knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics 365 and/or OneStream a plus
  • High level of integrity and commitment to ethical business practices
  • Ability to ramp quickly and operate effectively in a fast-paced environment
  • A passion for sports and innovation is a big bonus
