The Impact You'll Make

• Protect the organisation from financial, operational, regulatory, and reputational risk by embedding a robust, proportionate, and well-governed internal control environment across the business.
• Act as a trusted advisor to business and functional leaders, driving a culture of risk awareness across a global, matrixed organization.
• Provide assurance to senior management, the Audit Committee, and external stakeholders that controls are operating effectively.
• Strengthen the maturity of Ingenico's internal control framework year over year, reducing repeat findings and streamlining remediation.

What You Will Do

• Design, maintain, and continuously improve the internal control framework, including risk and control matrices, in line with recognised standards (e.g., COSO).
• Identify, assess, and prioritise key financial, operational, and compliance risks across the business, ensuring the risk and control library stays current as processes, systems, and regulations evolve.
• Plan and execute periodic testing of key controls (design and operating effectiveness) across financial and operational processes.
• Identify control gaps, weaknesses, and deficiencies, and work with control owners to define and track remediation plans.
• Produce regular, standardised risk and control reporting for senior leadership, including heat maps, KRIs, and remediation status, and present at Risk Committee / governance forums.
• Support coordination with Internal and External Audit, ensuring consistency of findings and remediation tracking.
• Partner with process and control owners across Finance, Operations, IT, and Commercial functions to embed risk ownership and control accountability, translating findings into practical, business-friendly recommendations.
• Promote a proactive risk and control culture through training and awareness, identifying opportunities to automate, simplify, or strengthen controls using technology and data analytics.

What Helps You Succeed

• 6 to 10 years of experience in internal control, risk management, or internal audit, ideally within a global or matrixed organization or an international audit and consultancy firm, with strong understanding of frameworks such as COSO.
• Proven ability to design, test, and report on financial and operational controls, translating complex risk and control concepts into clear, actionable guidance for non-specialist stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience working alongside external auditors and/or regulatory bodies; a relevant certification (CIA, CISA, ACA/ACCA/CPA or equivalent) is a plus.
• Fluent written and spoken English, an international profile, and comfort with regular travel and proficiency in advanced Excel/GRC platforms; experience in payments, financial services, or SOX-regulated environments is a plus.
