Job Description
We are seeking an experienced audit professional to join our internal audit function as an Associate Director / Senior Internal Audit Manager. This strategic role will support the development and maturity of our global internal controls and risk management framework.
The successful candidate will work closely with the Internal Audit Director and lead audits across European operations with broader international exposure. This role offers significant collaboration opportunities with audit teams across Europe, Asia, and the US in a fast-paced and innovation-driven environment.
This hands-on role does not have direct reports; it would suit someone looking for a strategic position where they can own and shape internal audit practices.
* Plan, execute, and lead internal audits across operational and functional areas.
* Ensure audits are completed according to professional standards and global best practices.
* Perform risk-based assessments, identify control gaps, and provide practical recommendations.
* Evaluate compliance with internal policies, regulatory requirements, and industry standards.
* Prepare clear, concise audit reports and present findings to senior management.
* Drive accountability for remediation actions and monitor follow-up progress.
* Collaborate with global audit teams to ensure alignment and knowledge sharing.
* Support cross-regional audits and contribute to harmonising global audit methodologies.
* Participate in advisory projects, process-improvement initiatives, and enterprise risk assessments.
Required Skills and Qualifications
* At least 8 years of audit experience, ideally combining Big 4 and internal audit exposure within a multinational environment.
* Strong understanding of internal controls, audit methodologies, and regulatory frameworks.
* Practical, hands-on audit approach with experience in lean or continuous improvement environments.
* Willingness to travel internationally (approximately 10-20%).
* Strong ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently.
* Ability to quickly build credibility and influence at all levels of the organisation.
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field.
* Professional audit qualification strongly preferred (CIA, CPA, ACCA, CISA, or equivalent).
