About the job

In this role, you will serve as advisors on IT risk, providing thought leadership, guidance, and developing risk and control methodologies tailored for Google's unique environment. Through collaboration with Engineering and Finance across Alphabet, we oversee the IT SOX program lifecycle, influence risks and controls, assess technical issues, and drive improvements that support security and financial statement integrity, ultimately shaping how Google's information systems are managed, operated, and controlled.

You'll work closely with executive team members and collaborate across Engineering and Finance to support the SOX IT program, advise on technical risks, assess controls within Google's foundational engineering and data platforms, contribute to guidance development, and support testing oversight.
The name Google came from "googol," a mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. And nobody at Google loves big numbers like the Finance team when providing in depth analysis on all manner of strategic decisions across Google products. From developing forward-thinking analysis to generating management reports to scaling our automated financial processes, the Finance organization is an important partner and advisor to the business.
