JLL's Global Accounting Compliance (GAC) team manages and oversees three critical assurance pillars on behalf of JLL Management: the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Program, the client-facing Service Organization Controls Reporting (SOCR) function, and the Sustainability (ESG) Control Assurance Program. We are seeking a Senior Auditor to join the team in a floating capacity, providing day-to-day Senior Auditor-level support primarily for SOX, but also across all three pillars based on cyclical demand and management priorities.

This is a unique opportunity to build broad control and assurance expertise—spanning traditional financial reporting controls, client-facing service organization controls, and an emerging ESG control environment—while contributing to leadership's vision for a best-in-class global internal controls strategy. The role is well suited to a self-starter who thrives on variety, adapts quickly to shifting priorities, and is energized by exposure to multiple control frameworks and stakeholder groups.
