About the role
Vercel is an agentic infrastructure company helping builders move from idea to production, and it is building out the financial infrastructure, controls, and operating discipline needed to support its growth and path to public markets. The SOX Manager based in India serves as the India execution leader for Vercel's SOX program, partnering with the US-based SOX leader and the broader Finance organization. The role owns SOX execution workstreams across business process and IT controls — walkthroughs, risk assessment, control design, testing, issue management, documentation, and audit coordination — across an AI-native, high-growth technology environment.
What you will do
- Own key execution workstreams across business process, entity-level, and IT controls, implementing and testing Vercel’s initial SOX design, surfacing learnings, and helping iterate the program with the US-based SOX leader.
- Lead walkthroughs, risk assessments, control design evaluations, and testing for significant financial processes, including revenue and order-to-cash, financial close and reporting, procure-to-pay, payroll, treasury, and tax; support annual scoping across processes, systems, and key controls.
- Lead IT SOX execution with IT, Security, Business Systems, and Engineering across ITGCs, automated and application controls, IPE, SaaS and internally developed systems, data flows, integrations, deployments, and related access, IT operations, change management, and SDLC dependencies.
- Lead the day-to-day SOX PMO for assigned workstreams, coordinating with the US-based SOX leader, external auditors, and internal stakeholders on plans, testing and reliance activities, audit requests, dependencies, timelines, and deliverables.
- Identify potential control deficiencies, perform the initial severity and root-cause assessment, partner with the US-based SOX leader on conclusions, and work with control owners to remediate and validate issues through closure.
- Develop and maintain clear control documentation, including process narratives, risk and control matrices, testing procedures, evidence standards, and control-owner guidance, while embedding practical and scalable controls into core Finance workflows.
- Use AI, automation, and scalable operating processes to improve control monitoring, evidence collection, testing, issue management, and reporting while maintaining auditability and appropriate human review; support broader SOX and IPO-readiness initiatives as Vercel scales.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- 8+ years of progressive experience in SOX, internal audit, external audit, IT audit, risk advisory, or internal controls, with experience supporting complex SOX programs in a public, IPO-ready, high-growth technology, or public accounting/advisory environment.
- Hands-on experience across both business process and IT controls, including ITGCs, access and privileged access, IT operations, change management, SDLC, automated/application controls, system-generated reports or IPE, interfaces and data flows, and internally developed applications.
- Experience reviewing SOC 1 reports, including relevant exceptions and complementary user entity controls (CUECs), and assessing their impact on the control environment.
- Strong knowledge of SOX 404 and ICFR, including risk assessment and scoping, control design and documentation, testing, deficiency evaluation, remediation, and audit methodology.
- Experience evaluating controls across complex financial and technology environments, including ERP, CRM, HRIS, billing/payments, integrations, and automated workflows; experience with platforms such as NetSuite, Salesforce, Workday, or similar systems is helpful.
- Strong program management and cross-functional leadership skills, with the ability to run day-to-day SOX activities as an individual contributor, influence stakeholders without direct authority, and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences.
- A pragmatic builder mindset, with experience improving processes and using AI or automation to make controls, testing, evidence collection, or reporting more scalable without sacrificing auditability or business speed.
Preferred qualifications
- Bring public accounting or advisory experience, including Big 4 or another top-tier firm.
- Have helped build or scale a SOX program at a high-growth SaaS, technology, or pre-IPO company.
- Have experience with usage- or consumption-based revenue models, complex billing flows, or highly automated revenue systems.
- Have experience in cloud-native, developer platform, infrastructure, or security-heavy environments and/or with modern GRC, workflow automation, or continuous control monitoring tools.
- Have a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Business, or a related field; CA, CPA, CIA, CISA, or equivalent certification preferred.
