You always keep in mind the effectiveness and further development of the controls. You establish processes for IT-Internal Control-Reviews and develop policies and procedures to improve compliance and efficiency in a sustainable manner. Together with internal teams, you will ensure that standards are not only defined, but also lived. Reports on controls and possible vulnerabilities and ensure that relevant information is communicated transparently to stakeholders, executives and bodies. You recognize risks early and take appropriate measures. You develop concrete action plans to resolve control weaknesses and actively pursue their implementation. Together with Process Ownern and the Internal Control team, you accompany remediation measures until successful implementation. You actively drive digitalization, standardization and automation. In doing so, you use modern approaches and best practices to make processes, controls and documentation more efficient and effective. You work closely with internal and external auditors and ensure that risks and audit-findings are evaluated professionally and sustainably.

You have successfully completed a degree in Finance, Computer Science, Business Informatics or a comparable qualification. You have at least seven years of professional experience in a comparable position, ideally in an international company or a Big-4 auditing company. Governance, IT risks and SOX controls are not foreign words for you. You know your best with internal control frameworks and have already gained relevant experience in the SOX environment. A certification like CIA or CISA is a plus, but no need. You can communicate safely in English and have good German skills. With Microsoft Office and SAP you work routined and safe. You are interested in technologies and systems that make internal controls more efficient and effective. Analytical thinking, structured working and clear communication characterize you.
