About the Role

We are seeking a motivated IT Audit & Compliance Analyst to support and strengthen our IT General Controls (ITGC) and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance program across APAC. This is a great opportunity to build your expertise in cybersecurity, information security frameworks, and risk management within a dynamic, multi-sector environment.

In this role, you will help monitor control effectiveness, support audit activities, and drive continuous improvement in our compliance posture. You will also work closely with senior leadership, external auditors, and cross-functional teams, making strong stakeholder management and communication skills essential.

Key Responsibilities

Controls Testing, Documentation & Compliance Management

• Support the IT Risk & Controls Manager in monitoring compliance with internal IT policies and external regulatory requirements, including SOX and ISO 27001
• Assist in the execution and documentation of IT control testing procedures to evaluate control design and effectiveness, identifying potential gaps
• Perform control testing in line with established methodologies and frameworks such as SOX ITGC and ISO 27001
• Maintain accurate, well-organised documentation of testing activities, results, and supporting evidence to ensure audit readiness
• Assist in preparing audit observations, control deficiencies, and risk findings for internal review prior to stakeholder communication

• Identify opportunities to improve audit efficiency and control testing processes
• Contribute to IT risk register maintenance and compliance reporting metrics
• Stay informed on regulatory requirements, industry standards, and audit practices
