Business Systems Analyst Jobs in Atlanta, GA

Overview

The HR Shared Services SOX & Compliance Staff Business Analyst manages, monitors, and reports on SOX compliance across HR Shared Services — including payroll, benefits, global mobility, and HR data services — partnering with internal audit, finance, IT, and other stakeholders to ensure end-to-end controls are designed, operating, and executed as expected.

This role develops the annual financial and third-party risk assessment process, evaluates financial risks and controls, and builds a risk-based audit plan to assess and strengthen HRSS internal controls, finance activities, and operations. It also ensures data security controls — including systems access policies and access log management — are in place to protect company financial data and the reporting process.

Success in this role requires deep working knowledge of end-to-end HR Shared Services operations and their upstream/downstream impacts across partner organizations, a continuous-improvement mindset, and the ability to work independently through ambiguity — piecing together facts and data to identify compliance and control issues, propose solutions, and drive resolution with partners. The ideal candidate is a subject-matter expert on SOX controls and related compliance requirements, who fosters trust and transparency across HR Shared Services and operates with agility, ownership, and accountability to drive accurate, on-time, compliant outcomes in a large, complex operation.
