Description
We are looking for an IT Controls & Compliance Manager to implement IT controls as part of our SOX compliance program ahead of our IPO.

- Strong hands-on knowledge of SOX (IT component), ITGC, ITAC
- Understanding of cloud infrastructure and its associated risk landscape

About this role
Plata Card is preparing for IPO and needs someone to build their IT controls infrastructure from the ground up. As IT Controls & Compliance Manager, you'd own the design and implementation of IT General Controls across the organization, working directly with engineering, security, and finance teams to ensure the integrity of financial reporting systems. This is a foundational role—you're not inheriting a mature program but creating one that will support SOX compliance and eventually extend to frameworks like PCI DSS, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001.
The role demands 5+ years in IT audit, compliance, risk, or security, with solid hands-on knowledge of SOX and ITGC. You'll need to assess business process risks, identify control gaps, coordinate evidence for audits, and support remediation efforts across multiple operational jurisdictions. Comfort with cloud infrastructure, data management, and information security fundamentals is essential. This is high-pressure work with real complexity, so you'll need adaptability, professional judgment, and the resilience to handle shifting priorities without compromising quality.
You'd be based in Sydney in-office. The company offers relocation support to Cyprus, Georgia, or Serbia if that interests you, flexible work arrangements, healthcare, education and wellness budgets, and 20 days annual leave. Prior experience at a publicly traded or pre-IPO company and certifications like CISA or CRISC would strengthen your candidacy, though aren't required.
