Group Internal Auditor

The Audit and Risk Recruitment Company is recruiting a Group Internal Auditor on behalf of a multi-billion-pound, manufacturing and supply business that operates across all corners of the globe.

This a fantastic opportunity for a Big 4 auditor (external or internal audit) looking for a move into industry, and specifically a global organisation.  It would also be ideal if you are looking for international travel and to work with diverse, multinational teams.

You will be part of a team of 7 based across European locations, and report into a Head of Audit who will invest plenty of time into your development.  The role will develop your understanding as to how the organisation operates as a whole and will provide you with excellent routes for progression into the business, for example, a member of team has recently transitioned into a Financial Controller role within another of the business’s European hubs.

Full support will also be provided if you wish to take further qualifications such as the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), and Certified Information System Auditor (CISA).

Re the international travel, it will be circa 50% and when back in the UK, you would be working from home.  Of that 50% travel, about 70% will be European focused and the remainder across any of their other international sites (particularly the US and South America).
