About the Role:
For our Global Headquarters, we are looking for a Senior IT Internal Auditor who will lead IT process, compliance, and strategic reviews worldwide. You will participate in a variety of projects across the Information Technology function globally, aligning with the Group Internal Audit methodology and IIA standards. You will be part of our dynamic and diverse Group Internal Audit team, centrally based in Luxembourg, and report to the Group IT Internal Audit Manager.
Group Internal Audit at Ferrero offers talented professionals the opportunity to join a fast growing, diverse, global team that serves as a talent pool for future leaders. 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 expertise in IT governance, risk management, and internal controls, you will lead and execute risk-based IT audits and advisory projects. Acting as the primary interface with audited stakeholders, you will assess the governance, IT risk management, and IT internal control system. In collaboration with the Group IT Internal Audit Manager, you will identify key risks and map the business processes to determine the scope of the review.
You will supervise a junior team member, providing guidance throughout the audit process to maintain quality standards. Your role includes preparing Internal Audit Reports that outline findings, root causes, and business-oriented recommendations to support improvements in internal controls, procedures, and systems. Regular updates on the audit’s progress will be shared with management, with escalation when necessary to ensure timely delivery.
Through discussions with stakeholders, you will present and explain audit findings while maintaining independence and objectivity. Engaging with a diverse audience, including subject matter experts and senior management, you will contribute to the definition and implementation of continuous improvement initiatives within the Internal Audit Team. Additionally, you will take an active part in the professional growth of the junior team member.
Who we are looking for:
Thanks to your university degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Security, or an equivalent field, along with your experience in IT internal audits, technology risk consulting, or compliance for at least 5 years within a Big 4 firm, you will bring valuable insights to the team. A background in a multinational manufacturing or FMCG company would be appreciated.
Thanks to your analytical mindset, problem-solving skills, and attention to detail, you will conduct IT internal audit reviews with accuracy. Your good understanding of information technology, SAP ERP systems, technology risk management, audit testing methodology, data analytics, and IT General Computer Controls will contribute to the success of the team. You will also apply your good knowledge of IT infrastructure, including networks, hardware, operating systems, databases, and applications, along with IT standards and regulations such as COBIT, ISO 27001, NIST Cybersecurity, or ITIL.
You will coordinate end-to-end engagements, working both independently and as part of a team while collaborating with diverse stakeholders. Your strong communication and interpersonal skills will help you build connections and support teamwork. Additionally, you will guide junior team members and apply your project management expertise to ensure efficient execution. Proficiency in Microsoft tools such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint will be useful in your role. As international travel will be required approximately 30-40% of the time, adaptability and cultural awareness will be important.
What Makes This Role Unique?
Thanks to your internal audit experience, you will lead a team during audit assignments, applying your skills in a structured and collaborative environment.
You will benefit from an extensive onboarding process, including shadowing experienced team members to familiarize yourself with the organization's operations and methodologies. This approach will help you integrate smoothly and develop a comprehensive understanding of the role.
As a member of the Group Internal Audit team, recognized as a talent pool for future leaders, you will have the opportunity to strengthen your expertise in a setting that values development and professional growth. This position offers a solid foundation for those looking to expand their responsibilities within the organization.
