What You’ll Do:

As a SOC Audit Manager, you’ll lead our System and Organization Controls (SOC) engagements across a diverse client base—helping them instill trust, strengthen internal controls, and navigate today’s complex risk landscape. You’ll manage end-to-end SOC 1 and SOC 2 reporting, serve as a go-to advisor on control testing and assurance, and coach a growing team of IT audit professionals. This is more than compliance—it’s leadership, transformation, and partnership at the intersection of people, process, and technology.

 Key Responsibilities:

SOC Engagement Management

• Lead independent testing for SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits across multiple clients.
• Conduct and review control design/effectiveness testing aligned with the Trust Services Criteria (TSC).
• Ensure audit documentation meets internal quality standards and client expectations.
• Support readiness assessments, gap analyses, and the development of system narratives.
• Align audit procedures with broader compliance goals, collaborating with internal and external stakeholders.

Team Supervision & Mentorship

• Coach and guide junior auditors, providing training, feedback, and daily support.
• Review staff workpapers and ensure audit methodology is consistently applied.
• Participate in team performance evaluations and promote career growth within the team.

Client-Facing Leadership

• Act as a primary point of contact for day-to-day client communication.
• Present testing results and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Support scoping and onboarding for new clients, ensuring alignment with engagement goals.

In-Office Collaboration

• Maintain an in-office presence (minimum 3 days/week) to support team collaboration, peer reviews, and process improvement.
• Contribute to team strategy meetings and the evolution of LJB’s SOC service delivery methodology.

What We’re Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Information Systems, or a related field
• 3–5+ years of experience in IT audit, SOC reporting, or assurance functions
• Strong working knowledge of Trust Services Criteria (TSC), risk assessment, control frameworks, and testing methodology
• Excellent project management and organizational skills—you can manage multiple engagements without dropping the ball
• Clear and confident communicator—you can explain audit findings to clients and team members alike
• Strong analytical mindset with impeccable attention to detail
• Passion for supporting mission-driven organizations and helping clients build integrity into their operations

 Bonus Points If You:

• Hold a CPA, CISA, CISSP, or equivalent professional certification
• Have experience in public accounting or consulting
• Are comfortable with audit tools and platforms such as Drata, Vanta, or TrustCloud
• Understand cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and IT security best practices
• Have exposure to HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, or other compliance frameworks
