What You'll Do

Plan and Conduct International Audits

Plan, manage, and conduct internal audits across global business processes, with a particular focus on international subsidiaries and intercontinental assignments. You will create transparency to support well-informed management decisions and conduct compliance investigations within international entities.

Analyze Processes, Controls, and Risks

Review business processes, internal control systems, and governance structures; identify weaknesses and risks; and develop clear, practical recommendations for improvement across the organization.

Collaborate with Management and Business Functions

Work closely with local and regional management teams as well as functional departments. Conduct interviews and workshops, communicate audit findings effectively, and support the constructive implementation of recommendations in an international environment.

Deliver Insightful Reporting Using Modern Tools

Monitor the implementation of agreed actions and act as a trusted sparring partner to business functions. The position involves international travel for on-site audits and provides the opportunity to build a strong network across the global organization.

What We're Looking For

• University degree in Business Administration, Engineering, Information Technology, Law, or a related field.
• Several years of relevant professional experience in internal audit and compliance investigations, ideally within an international environment.
• Experience in an industrial or technology-related organization is an advantage, but not essential.
• Knowledge of established international audit and assurance methodologies.
• Experience with data analytics and the ability to analyze and communicate complex business topics in a clear and structured way.
• Hands-on experience with SAP and/or other ERP systems.
• Interest in leveraging modern technologies, including AI-supported tools, to improve audit efficiency and effectiveness.
• Strong written and spoken English, with the confidence to present audit findings to stakeholders ranging from local teams to regional management.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, combined with an intercultural mindset and the ability to build trust in an international environment.
• A structured, reliable, and independent working style, with the ability to manage multiple audits and priorities simultaneously.
• Willingness to travel internationally.
• Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) qualification, or willingness to obtain it, is considered an advantage.

The Profile We Value

We are looking for someone who combines strong analytical thinking with a practical and collaborative approach. You are comfortable challenging existing processes, asking the right questions, and turning complex findings into actionable recommendations. At the same time, you enjoy working across cultures and functions, building constructive relationships, and contributing to stronger and more future-ready governance structures within a global organization.
