Your role:

We're seeking highly motivated individuals to join our dynamic, diverse, and very engaged internal audit team! We offer a high-profile internal audit function, with good visibility on all management levels and a track record for developing employees into senior roles in finance and business.

To further leverage data analytics in our audit landscape, you will strongly contribute to changes of audit techniques and methodology through data analytics and create value using data, digital tools, platforms, technologies, services, and processes. This role includes significantly contributing to internal control topics and continuous improvement on a group level through data analytics as well as to the audit analytics strategic roadmap.

As part of the internal audit team, you will gain deep insights into business processes and their related data. You will collect, analyze, validate and interpret those large data sets (for example SAP data) to deliver meaningful audit insights by utilizing common programming languages and analytics tools such as SQL, Python, Power BI or Tableau.

You will be working with a diverse team and will gain process and data insights into various business areas as well as manage stakeholders on all different levels of the hierarchy. Audit related work will ensure varying tasks and great learning and development opportunities.

Who you are:

• University degree in Business, Finance, Computer Science, Data Science, Information Technology, or equivalent required
• Minimum 3-5 years of relevant professional experience in data analytics, risk advisory, audits, or associated fields within an internationally operating company or a Big 4 accounting firm
• Audit-specific qualifications (e.g., CPA, CIA, or CFE certification) are a plus
• Extensive hands-on experience in using data analytics tools (e.g., Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, Qlik) and programming languages (SQL, Python), with familiarity in handling SAP system data
• Strong analytical thinking and a structured approach to work, with the ability to translate complex data analyses into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Strong process understanding in Finance, Order-to-Cash (O2C), Source-to-Pay (S2P), and Healthcare Compliance, with the ability to conduct reviews of complex end-to-end processes and related data
• Ability to be agile and open-minded, managing audits and stakeholders from diverse cultures, along with good intercultural and communication skills
• Business-level fluency in English; additional language skills are an advantage, along with a willingness to travel globally (approx. 5% travel time)
