This is an audit advisory role with cross-functional involvement with U.S. and international finance teams and business partners. Key responsibilities include design of key controls (business processes, interfaces, and IT application controls), identification of audit process improvements, financial reporting risk mitigation, and remediation of control deficiencies. As part of this structure, the SOX PMO works closely with external auditors and Gilead Internal Audit to ensure appropriate audit scope, evaluation of financial risk, development of controls over complex processes, and application of best practices. The team facilitates audit process improvement and leverages technology to drive efficient and effective audits. The SOX PMO is currently working on a multi-year global SAP implementation involving redesign of key processes, ERP enhancements, evaluation of boundary systems, and building well-designed control frameworks. This role offers an opportunity to transition from public accounting and gain in-depth knowledge of the biopharmaceutical industry, accounting processes, and complex accounting areas. Key Knowledge and Skills

Experience in audit judgment areas: assessment of potential control deficiencies, evaluation of aggregation risks, process stabilization and overall improvement of audit strategy. Experience in designing and executing complex management review controls: design of management review controls, how expectations are developed and reviewed, evidence requirements, and use of estimates and forecasts. Audit experience with complex accounting areas including revenue/gross-to-net, treasury and stock administration, and pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. Strong technical acumen with US GAAP knowledge and comfort auditing core audit areas including significant line items and SEC disclosures. Technical experience with SAP environment and controls: development of segregation of duties rule sets, SAP IT application controls, and design and audit of key reports. Additional Considerations
Relevant working experience in internal controls and SOX compliance; external audit experience including leading complex multi-national engagements is strongly preferred. Partnering with business process owners during design, modification, or streamlining of processes and controls for a more efficient control environment. Ensuring appropriate documentation of internal controls analysis to comply with SOX requirements and internal policy. Liaison between business process owners and Internal/External Audit during resolution of control findings.

Partnering with IT SOX team to ensure IT controls design on current and future state processes. Maintaining a positive attitude and embracing change; willingness to learn new technology (SAP, data analytics, and reporting tools). Being a self-starter who can solve problems independently and proactively identify and implement improvements. Interest in joining and contributing to a dynamic team.
