About the Role
Greater Amsterdam, Netherlands Area (On-site)
The Company is seeking a Head of Internal Audit to strengthen governance, operations, risk management, and internal controls. The role leads a broad portfolio of operational and IT audits, provides independent advice to senior leadership, and translates data-driven findings into practical recommendations. The Head will manage a small audit team while also contributing directly to investigations and developing the audit function’s methods, standards, and quality. The position also involves collaborating across the organization to support a cohesive approach to governance and risk.
