Aggreko is a company with deep Scottish roots and a clear vision for continued international growth. As the business prepares to strengthen its global governance framework in anticipation of potential future listing requirements, the Head of Sarbanes-Oxley role is pivotal to its ambitions. This is a unique opportunity for a motivated and agile leader to join Aggreko at an early stage and shape a robust compliance framework tailored to its distinctive operations.
As Head of Sarbanes-Oxley, the initial and primary objective will be to lead the design and implementation of a SOX compliance program aligned with and proportionate to Aggreko’s business operations and potential future listing requirements.
The post-holder will develop, roll-out and embed a comprehensive SOX compliance framework; establish a fit for purpose internal SOX organisation; work with third party advisors to garner best practice insights; and coordinate internal measures to make the organisation SOX-ready.
On an ongoing basis, the individual will ensure the effective design and operation of internal controls, timely compliance testing and remediation of control deficiencies. The post-holder will collaborate across Finance, Legal, ATS and other teams to promote a culture of compliance and accountability ensuring compliance with all relevant legislation.
Reporting to the Director of Finance – Centre of Excellence, the role will provide clear communication on compliance status and risks, driving continuous improvement and readiness for further regulatory changes.
The role requires a qualified accountant with proven experience in finance, internal controls or internal audit, including direct experience managing SOX compliance in a listed environment. Experience in a US-listed or dual-listed (UK/US) company would be a distinct advantage.
Candidates must have strong knowledge of SOX requirements, best practice internal control frameworks (and the interface with financial reporting), PCAOB standards and SEC reporting requirements.
If you are excited by the opportunity, we would love to hear from you. Please see full position profile below and contact Kirsty Mclardy ([email protected]) or Ali Shaw ([email protected]) for more information.
Any direct applications or third-party introductions to Aggreko will be forwarded to Livingston James for consideration.
