Senior Internal Auditor - Retail

Vervuld

Summary

A great opportunity for someone who enjoys taking responsibility, is result-orientated, is a hands-on worker and prefers to work in a rapidly changing (international) environment. For their Internal Audit team, Action is looking for a Senior Internal Auditor who has experience conducting and/or has affinity with operational audits. As a Senior Internal Auditor, you will assess how they manage their risks and give clear advice on how to further improve their internal control, risk management and process management. Your excellent communication and analytical skills, combined with an enthusiastic personality, make you an excellent team player, both within Internal Audit and within Action.

Job description

Due to Action’s rapid international growth, a professional Risk Assurance team, of which Internal Audit is a part, is essential to challenge and support management in developing and continuously improving their business processes.

As a Senior Internal Auditor within the audit team, you will be responsible for planning and conducting operational, financial or IT audits and presenting your audit results to colleagues and management clearly. You will contribute directly to strengthening the internal control of business processes by offering pragmatic and cost-conscious solutions. Your advice, requested and unsolicited, is appreciated by their Management. An audit therefore does not end with the report; as Senior Internal Auditor you will follow up on agreed action plans and thus contribute to the actual improvement of business processes. Based on your ongoing contact with the organisation, you will be kept informed about the implementation of agreed improvements. You will perform audit activities in all countries where Action operates.

Internal Audit is a relatively new department within Action, which gives you the opportunity to further shape your own role and the team, not only in conducting Internal Audits, but also in the further development of the internal audit processes and methodology.

As an Internal Auditor, you will continuously work together and support your colleagues throughout the organisation, both in Zwaagdijk and in the countries in which we operate. The position is based in Zwaagdijk and occasionally includes travelling within Europe (20% of the time on average).

Risk Assurance supports the entire international Action organisation by identifying risks and implementing measures to manage those risks. Their activities take place from the purchase of their products to in-store sales. Risk Management, Fraud & Store Security and Internal Audit teams, made up of various specialists, ensure that they have all the in-house knowledge to support Action’s various business units with complex issues in this area. Do you want to work within the dynamics of the Retail sector, in a young department with plenty of (international) growth opportunities? Take Action now!

Requirements

As a Senior Internal Auditor at Action, you are someone who conducts audits independently and as part of a team and would like to know more about business and customer perspectives.
