The Senior Manager, Internal Controls & Sustainability Reporting at Legend Biotech is a pivotal role within the Finance team, based in Bridgewater, New Jersey. This position is instrumental in designing, implementing, and continuously improving the company's internal control framework across financial and select non-financial reporting processes. The role ensures compliance with SOX (Section 404), manages enterprise-wide control assessments, and collaborates closely with business and IT leaders, as well as internal and external auditors.
Key responsibilities include leading the SOX 404 compliance program, evaluating the effectiveness of entity-level, process-level, and IT general controls, and supporting management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting. The role also involves partnering with process owners to identify financial reporting risks, designing efficient and scalable controls, and assessing the impact of new accounting standards and system implementations on internal controls. Additionally, the Senior Manager coordinates audits, manages remediation of control deficiencies, and supports continuous improvement initiatives, including automation and the use of governance, risk, and compliance tools.
The ideal candidate will possess a bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, along with over seven years of progressive experience in internal controls, SOX compliance, or public accounting. Experience with a Big 4 or national public accounting firm is advantageous. Strong knowledge of internal control frameworks, risk assessment methodologies, and regulatory requirements is essential. The candidate should demonstrate excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across various functions and levels within the organization.
While prior experience with sustainability or ESG reporting is not required, the role offers the opportunity to support the development and enhancement of sustainability reporting processes aligned with global regulatory frameworks. This includes assisting in the creation and maintenance of internal control frameworks over sustainability data, thereby contributing to the company's commitment to transparency and corporate responsibility.
