Technical Program Manager, SOX Compliance

About the role

Anthropic is growing fast, and our SOX program needs to keep up. Many of the controls that matter for financial reporting run on engineering systems: who can access production and financial systems, how code changes are reviewed and deployed, and how usage is metered and billed.

We’re hiring a Technical Program Manager to own the technology side of our SOX program. You'll work across engineering, security, GRC, Finance, and Internal Audit to design and run IT controls, drive gaps to closure, and make compliance lighter for engineering teams. You’ll also use Claude to automate evidence collection and control testing, so the program scales without more manual work.

Responsibilities

Own the technology side of the SOX program end-to-end, from planning and control design through evidence, testing, remediation, and year-end reporting

Work with engineering teams to design and roll out IT general controls and IT application controls

Work with engineering teams to build Claude-based workflows, tools, and dashboards to automate evidence collection, control testing, and monitoring that warns engineering teams about compliance issues before an audit finds them

Lead large SOX projects, such as bringing new systems into scope, with clear success criteria, dependencies, and delivery dates

Turn control requirements into concrete engineering work with clear scope, owners, and deadlines, and a design that fits how our teams already build and ship

Build processes to evaluate new products, systems, and major engineering changes for SOX impact before they ship, so the right controls are in place from the start

Build strong working relationships with engineering control owners, help them understand what their controls require, and support them in producing evidence for auditor requests

Investigate control failures down to root cause, and drive engineering teams to fix them in time for the fix to be tested

Help keep an up-to-date list of the systems, apps, and infrastructure in SOX scope, with an owner named for each control

Track system migrations and scope changes, and make sure controls are updated as systems move

Build metrics and dashboards on control health, open findings, and remediation progress

Give regular updates on program status, risks, and remediation to technical leadership

Keep improving the program: simplify control processes, remove manual steps, and raise the share of controls that run cleanly

You may be a good fit if you

Have 7+ years of experience in technical program management, IT audit, or technology compliance, with a focus on SOX and IT general controls

Have run or supported a SOX program at a public or pre-IPO company

Have used automation or AI tools to make compliance work faster and more reliable

Know IT general controls and IT application controls in depth, including access management, change management, and application controls, and how they support financial reporting

Have worked closely with external auditors

Understand cloud infrastructure and engineering workflows, such as code review, CI/CD, and cloud access, well enough to work through a control design with an engineer

Can explain technical risks and control gaps clearly to executives and other non-technical audiences

Are comfortable driving outcomes across engineering, finance, and audit teams that don't report to you

Strong candidates may also have

A background in software, systems, or security engineering

Hands-on experience building with Claude Code or other AI tools

Experience with automated controls in revenue or order-to-cash systems, such as billing and usage metering

Experience with financial systems such as ERP and billing platforms, and the controls around them

Experience building or rebuilding a SOX program at a fast-growing company

Familiarity with other security and IT frameworks, such as NIST or ISO 27001
