About the role

This role involves establishing and managing MoonPay's SOX 404 program from its initial stages, focusing on building an Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (ICFR) framework in preparation for an IPO.

The ideal candidate will bring significant experience in managing SOX readiness or compliance initiatives.
