With an energetic and vibrant culture and a high degree of ambition, this business is innovative and strives to be the best – which means hiring the best people. The LATAM headquarters are based in Sao Paulo, Brazil although the team works on a hybrid basis. This challenging opportunity will give you exposure primarily across the LATAM and US regions but you will work collaboratively with other members of the global team and even get the opportunity to travel on audits in Europe, the Middle East and APAC regions. The is a proven career development culture right across the business that promotes and rewards the best on ability and potential – not on the amount of "years served". Hence this is a true meritocracy where you will get opportunity and be pushed out of your comfort zone! Progression could be within audit – more likely it will be on into a different area of the business – including international moves. As a result of internal progression, there is now an opportunity for a Senior Internal Auditor to join the team in Sao Paulo. Reporting to the Americas Director of Internal Audit, you will be part of team delivering an interesting portfolio of purely operational internal audits – offering the opportunity to really build your understanding of how this passionate and fast-paced consumer business really works. There are very few financial audits, no compliance audits and no SOx audits. It's all about commercial business processes – procurement, marketing, inventory management, supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, commercial terms/agreements, discounts and rebates etc Typical reviews involve 3-4 team members for up to 3 weeks and most reviews are country or entity based. Key risks include the usual emerging markets risks, supply chain/distribution, health & safety, pricing and discounting. The team have also been involved in a number of project audits eg SAP roll-out and it is common for there to be secondments both in to and out of the team. You can expect to be travelling for typically 15-20% of your time (maximum 30%) across the LATAM and North America regions but with the possibility of the occasional trip to Europe, Middle East and APAC regions etc. This opportunity offers exposure to senior stakeholders right across LATAM, the US and Canada, lots of variety and most importantly the opportunity to learn how a multinational FMCG business operates. You will need to develop and maintain positive stakeholder relationships to allow you to work closely with the business and as your experience grows may also provide input into the risk assessment and annual audit planning. The Audit Leadership don't believe that they have the monopoly on good ideas so you will be encouraged to identify opportunities to improve the methodology and standards within the internal audit function.
