In this role, you will not only develop a wide range of technical and leadership skills but also benefit from a high level of visibility with senior stakeholders, opening doors to accelerated career growth.
Main Responsibilities:
Thanks to your analytical skills, you will deliver risk-based reviews and advisory projects, gaining hands-on experience in assessing the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and the Internal Control System. With guidance and support from experienced team members, you will identify key risks and map business processes to determine the scope of the review.
You will document audit evidence, ensuring clear traceability of the work performed and accurate support for audit findings. You will participate in the presentation of audit findings to stakeholders while maintaining independence and objectivity, liaising with a diverse audience across the organization, including subject matter experts and senior management.
You will also prepare business-focused recommendations to help the company improve internal controls, procedures, systems, and ways of working.
Who we are looking for:
You will bring your university degree background in Economics, Accounting, Finance, Engineering or equivalent and your 1 to 2 years of experience in internal or external audits, advisory activities, or risk consulting, preferably in a Big 4 firm or in a multinational manufacturing/ FMCG company.
You will apply your analytical and critical thinking skills to assess risks, identify areas for improvement, and support decision-making. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and proficiency in Microsoft tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) will be valuable assets. Familiarity with SAP will be considered an advantage.
Working both independently and as part of a team, you will collaborate with diverse professionals across different cultures. Your communication and interpersonal skills, along with negotiation capabilities, will help in engaging with stakeholders. A willingness to travel internationally around 30-40% of the time will be expected.
What Makes This Role Unique?
You will have the opportunity to start and grow a career in internal auditing with exposure to diverse business processes and geographies. From the start, you will receive extensive onboarding and hands-on experience, helping you build both knowledge and confidence.
You will be part of a dynamic and supportive team that values learning and professional growth. Collaboration and knowledge-sharing will be at the heart of your journey, allowing you to develop skills that go beyond auditing and into strategic thinking.
As a member of the Group Internal Audit team, recognized for developing future leaders within the organization, you will gain a strong foundation for career advancement.
