More about our mission and what we offer.
Job DescriptionWe are looking for an IT SOX expert to join our mission and help us build a global platform that’s scalable, reliable, and secure. The Security Controls team plays a vital role in safeguarding Wise’s complex IT landscape. We specialise in the comprehensive testing, assessment, and continuous improvement of technology-related controls. This role will require you to drive scope rationalization, dependency mapping, and control optimization.
Your Mission
Scope Rationalization & Optimization: Analyze and challenge existing IT SOX scope across applications and infrastructure. Identify duplicate, redundant, or over-engineered ITGCs/ITACs and propose enhancements.
New System Onboarding: Establish RACMs (Risk and Control Matrices) and identify necessary ITGCs and ITACs for newly in-scope SOX applications and platforms.
Dependency & System Mapping: Document and maintain end-to-end dependency maps (upstream/downstream data flows, infrastructure ties, and automated interfaces) for management review.
Controls Testing: Where needed, support control testing (Design & Operating Effectiveness) across our cloud infrastructure and SaaS landscape.
Stakeholder Management: Partner with key stakeholders across Finance, Risk, Security, Platform to effectively communicate SOX 404 requirements and expectations.
A bit about you:
SOX Experience: You have 3+ years of experience in Technology Risk or IT Audit, with a dedicated focus on SOX. You possess deep knowledge of SOX 404 requirements, COSO framework, and IT control frameworks (NIST, ISO27001).
SOX Implementation: You have demonstrable experience with first-time SOX audits in cloud-native environments. You understand how compliance frameworks map to dynamic infrastructures.
Cloud-Native Mindset: You understand how Change Management works in a CI/CD pipeline and how Access Management works in a microservices architecture. Experience with AWS, Terraform, GitHub, Jira, Okta, and SailPoint is preferred.
Scope & RACM Quality: You know what a good RACM looks like and can look at a system architecture diagram or control framework and spot where coverage is either missing or excessively duplicative.
Clear Communicator: You can translate technical architecture details into audit-ready documentation while explaining compliance "whys" clearly to engineers.
For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive.
We're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.
Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.

Wise Offices
Hybrid Workspace
Employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work.
We expect new joiners in the office most days to build connections and learn from colleagues for their first six months. After that, most Wisers split their working week between the office and home, typically coming in at least 12 times a month.
