Accounting & Finance
United States
USD 130-130 / hour
We are seeking experienced SOX testing and internal-audit professionals (or controls specialists with testing ownership) to provide expert insight as part of a project for our AI Marketplace. No preparation required — just your real-world experience.
This is a one-time, paid, project-based interview engaged on a contract basis— not a full-time role.
Location: U.S.-based experts only
Engagement: One-time, project-based interview
Work Type: Remote
Estimated rate: $130/hour (prorated for the 30-minute task)
What You’ll Do
You’ll complete a ~30-minute recorded AI-led video interview where you explain how you actually do your work in practice.
This interview will focus on:
- Control owner evidence collection, sufficiency standards, repositories, timing, and training
- Testing approach, population completeness, sample selection, attributes, deviations, roll-forward, and reperformance
- Deficiency evaluation, likelihood and magnitude, compensating controls, aggregation, and disclosure-control impacts
- Review levels across management, SOX PMO, internal audit, and external auditors
You will be asked to explain workflows specifically within: control operation, evidence collection, internal testing, exception evaluation, deficiency identification, and testing review workflows.
You should only apply if you can confidently walk through these areas step-by-step based on your own experience and respond to AI-led interview questions with depth, clarity, and real-world examples.
What We’re Looking For
- 6+ years in SOX testing, internal audit, controls testing, or ICFR compliance
- Direct, hands-on experience in control operation, evidence collection, internal testing, exception evaluation, deficiency identification, and testing review workflows
- Experience making or influencing decisions related to evidence sufficiency, sample/test approach, deviation severity, deficiency classification, and retest requirements
- Familiarity with tools such as: AuditBoard, Workiva, ServiceNow GRC, SAP GRC, Archer, Excel, SharePoint
- Strong ability to clearly explain workflows, decisions, and reasoning
- Experience owning or directly executing these workflows in a real production environment
- Experience working in a cross-functional finance, strategy, treasury, investor-relations, or business-partnering environment
About the Interview
The interview is designed to elicit step-by-step explanations of real workflows and decision-making processes, with an emphasis on detailed, experience-based responses rather than high-level summaries.
This is a project-based engagement. Selected participants will be paid for completing a recorded AI-led video interview; hourly rates are estimates based upon anticipated time of completion. Participants will control their own schedule, provide their own tools to complete the interview, and may participate in other opportunities as they choose.
Once you complete the interview, we’ll send your video recording and transcript, along with AI-generated insights, to the internal research team and AI lab partner. This data will be used to generate a structured list of tasks associated with your profession and for AI model improvement.
