About Ahold Delhaize

Ahold Delhaize is one of the world's largest food retail groups, with more than 402,000 associates serving over 63 million customers each week through a portfolio of strong, trusted local brands. Through our market-leading retail and e-commerce capabilities, combined with a strong focus on innovation, we are continuously transforming how customers shop and how we operate.

Technology, data, automation, and digital platforms are at the heart of this transformation. As a Senior Cyber Security Auditor, you will play a key role in providing independent assurance over the security, resilience, and effectiveness of these capabilities, helping to safeguard our operations, support innovation, and enable the achievement of strategic business objectives.

Make a meaningful impact at scale

Are you an experienced cyber security professional who enjoys understanding complex technology environments, challenging the status quo, and helping organizations strengthen their cyber resilience? Ahold Delhaize is looking for a Senior Cyber Security Auditor to join our Internal Audit team.

In this role, you will work across one of the largest food retail organizations in the United States, providing independent assurance and trusted advisory services on a broad range of cyber security, technology, data, and digital initiatives. You will collaborate with business and technology leaders, evaluate the effectiveness of cyber security controls, and help strengthen the organization's ability to manage emerging risks in an increasingly digital landscape.

This is a unique opportunity to gain exposure to leading technologies, large-scale retail operations, and strategic business initiatives while working in a highly visible role with senior stakeholders across the organization.

Internal Audit

Internal Audit at Ahold Delhaize is a forward-looking function that focuses on helping the organization navigate risk while supporting strategic objectives. Rather than solely assessing compliance, we provide insights that help improve business performance, strengthen controls, and enable sustainable growth.

Our teams assess risks and controls across business processes, technology platforms, cyber security programs, digital initiatives, data platforms, supply chain operations, and customer-facing solutions. We combine business knowledge, technical expertise, and data-driven insights to deliver meaningful assurance and practical recommendations.

As a Senior Cyber Security Auditor, you will work independently while partnering closely with stakeholders across technology, cyber security, and business functions. You will be expected to exercise sound professional judgement, challenge constructively, and deliver high-quality insights that drive real improvements.

Every audit presents a different challenge, technology stack, stakeholder group, and business objective, providing continuous learning opportunities and exposure to a broad range of cyber security topics.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for an intellectually curious and highly motivated professional with strong cyber security knowledge, excellent communication skills, and the ability to combine technical depth with business insight.
