Position SummaryJoin a high-visibility Internal Audit function supporting a global publicly traded manufacturing and engineering organization. This role provides ownership across the full audit lifecycle-from planning and fieldwork through reporting and presentation of results to executive leadership and the Audit Committee.

The Internal Audit function operates as a small, high-impact team, providing significant visibility with senior leadership and opportunities to influence business processes and risk management practices.

This position is open due to internal career progression, with the current Internal Audit Manager recently promoted into a Controller role within the business-demonstrating a strong track record of development and advancement within the function.

The Internal Audit function is actively evolving to incorporate data analytics and emerging AI capabilities, and this role will play a key part in advancing these initiatives.
