Job Description
About Us
At Sportsbet, we’re united behind our purpose to Bring Excitement to Life for over 2.4 million customers. We do this by delivering fun, challenging the status quo, and living our values. As part of the global Flutter Group, we’re a major player internationally, but in Melbourne, Sydney and Darwin, we’re a tightknit team of 1,300+ teammates (with over half in Tech & Data Science).
Our commitment to responsible gambling is genuine and demonstrated through the wide range of responsible gambling initiatives and tools. We’re proud to be the leaders in responsible gambling in our industry, not just locally, but globally.
We are one of the top workplaces for Women through WORK180. WORK180 is a leading platform that independently assesses employers on policies, benefits and practices that support women and underrepresented groups at work. We remain committed to making Sportsbet the best place to work and encourage you to explore our employer profile on the WORK180 website to learn more about what we offer.
About The Role
Reporting into the Head of Cyber, Governance Risk and Compliance, you will partner with our Technology, Assurance and business teams to assess and validate key SOX-relevant technology controls that support accurate and reliable financial reporting.
With the support of the SOX IT Compliance Lead, you will assess and validate critical technology risks and controls, support the successful delivery of ongoing audits, and drive the uplift and maturity of the control environment through targeted remediation initiatives. As the organisation advances its SOX compliance journey, you will play a pivotal role in strengthening and embedding sustainable control frameworks that support accurate and reliable financial reporting.
Responsibilities:
Assist in challenging existing ITGC and ITAC controls ensuring controls are practical, risk-based, and sustainable.
Develop and maintain high-quality IT control documentation, ensuring that "audit-ready" standards are maintained consistently across the organisation.
Support impact assessments for new initiatives by coordinating workshops, capturing SOX implications, and drafting control considerations for Lead approval.
Prepare and quality-check evidence packages against agreed testing requirements; flag gaps early to reduce rework.
Coordinate control walkthroughs and audit readiness sessions (scheduling, pre-reads, checklists, minutes/actions).
Assist in developing and delivering targeted SOX awareness training and guidance to Technology teams.
About You
While we are big on development and offer on the job training, we want to set you up for success. Along with a great attitude, it would be ideal that you have:
Proven experience in IT Risk, IT Audit, Technology Controls, or similar. SOX experience preferred.
Experience with GRC Platforms such as Auditboard, Archer etc.
Strong working knowledge of core ITGC domains (access, change, operations).
Solid familiarity with COSO / COBIT concepts and how these map to practical, risk-based control expectations.
Experience leading day-to-day ITGC audit execution.
Experienced in managing relationships with external auditors, internal stakeholders, and Group-level functions to align on expectations and outcomes.
The Perks
We work hard and play hard, so along with a competitive salary and generous performance-based bonus for permanent staff members, here’s some of our other perks:
25 days annual leave (that’s right, an additional week’s leave!)
Hybrid working policy (Monday and Friday from home) and a $1,050 home office allowance for new starters.
Industry leading Parental Leave support program with 26 weeks paid leave for Primary Carers and no wait time. We also have a progressive return to work benefit for your first 6 months back: come back for 3 days, get paid for 4; come back for 4 days, get paid for 5.
Hack Days - where your creativity and collaborative ideas lead to exciting new ideas and projects for our customers.
Access to outstanding career development programs, including expert-led internal training and external learning opportunities (staff allowance for personal development)
Weekly concierge service including free massages and nail appointments – all onsite in our Melbourne office!
Free breakfast, daily fresh fruit and weekly rotating socials, from Thursday office drinks to fun team events
End of trip facilities with onsite table tennis and pool tables
Discounted health insurance and free flu jabs yearly.
We review applications within the first two weeks, so apply now! Check out our Life@Sportsbet Instagram, LinkedIn, and careers website for more information about our inclusive culture.
