Our client, a leader in Student Transportation and Technology, is looking for a skilled Security Compliance / SOX Implementation Engineer to join their team for a 6 month engagement. This project involves technically building out the controls and framework necessary for their IPO journey, specifically focusing on SOX Section 404b and process control maturity for SOC2 and SOX compliance. This is a high‑impact role that requires a self‑motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

• Technically building out the compliance framework necessary for the company's IPO journey (SOX Section 404b).
• Defining and implementing necessary process controls required for SOX and SOC2 compliance.
• Implementing correct access controls and change access protocols.
• Developing and formalizing Pen testing / hardening processes.
• Defining necessary controls with a focus on financial/IT security overlap.

• 6+ months of experience in a similar role.
• Deep expertise as a Security Engineer who has successfully gone through an IPO from the security compliance side, specifically dealing with SOX Section 404b. Experience with SOX and SOC1 is highly desired. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
• Experience building out compliance frameworks in a fast-growth environment.
• Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team, including coordination with external partners (KPMG and Deloitte).
