About the Job

At cb5, we are on a mission to find exceptional talent. Our tight-knit organization is led by five brothers, each technology leaders in their respective technical fields and driven to foster a culture of excellence through solidarity. We are seeking a FIAR / Audit Readiness Subject Matter Expert to serve as a member of an enterprise asset management modernization team.

This position requires deep hands-on experience with DoD financial improvement and audit readiness, property and materiel accountability, and the evidence and internal control standards a system of record must meet to withstand audit.

· Establish the evidence and key supporting documentation standards that migration artifacts must meet to be defensible in an audit.

· Assess and document internal controls, segregation of duties, and audit trail requirements within the target MAS 9.1 configuration.

· Prepare and lead the FIAR capability demonstration required for final acceptance.

· Document current-state and future-state FIAR requirements and produce the FIAR Requirements Document.
