Associate, SOX Financial Controls IT| Kuala Lumpur | 6 Months contract (Renewable/Convertable)

Based in Kuala Lumpur, this is a compelling opportunity for an IT audit or controls professional looking to build real SOX depth within an in-house compliance function at a leading global insurer. Joining on a one-year contract from September 2026, you'll be working hands-on across IT General Controls for business units across Asia.

Why Apply?

This isn't a back-office role - you'll work directly with IT and business process owners, engage with external audit, and gain first-hand exposure to how IT controls underpin financial reporting at group level. It's an ideal platform to sharpen your ITGC testing skills, build your SOX credentials and contribute to a team actively advancing through standardisation and automation. You'll also benefit from medical insurance, statutory contributions and comprehensive insurance coverage.

The Role

Delivering across the full SOX testing cycle, you will:

• Execute ITGC walkthroughs and design and operating effectiveness testing across interim, roll-forward and year-end phases
• Maintain accurate working papers and testing documentation within a GRC platform
• Track control deficiencies and remediation actions, following up with IT and process owners
• Support external audit reviews and escalate risks or blockers promptly
• Contribute to management dashboards, status updates and testing-efficiency initiatives

What We're Looking For

You'll bring:

• Practical experience in ITGC, IT audit or SOX IT controls testing - Big 4 or equivalent background preferred
• Sound knowledge of core ITGC domains: access management, change management and computer operations
• Strong documentation discipline and the ability to manage competing deadlines across multiple workstreams
• Clear, confident communication and a collaborative working style
• A relevant degree; progress toward CISA, ACCA or CA is advantageous
• Exposure to GRC platforms, Oracle ERP or automation tools such as Power BI or Python is a bonus

If this sounds like your next move, apply today.
