As Senior Internal Auditor for EMEA, you’ll be a key member of the Internal Audit team, helping drive audit activity across Henry Schein’s businesses throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. You’ll:
•
Help develop audit programs, including setting engagement objectives and defining audit scope, to keep internal audits sharp and effective.
•
Make sure audit objectives cover what matters most: the reliability and integrity of accounting records and financial reporting, the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls, compliance with Company standards and policies, and progress on prior audit recommendations.
•
Team up with group resources, including co-sourced specialists, to carry out risk-based audits, evaluate results, shape recommendations, and prepare reports.
•
Assess the reliability, integrity, and compliance of financial statements against US GAAP, and help build out action plans in response.
•
Assess control risks and help develop recommendations to strengthen business processes, procedures, and systems — including compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements and the Company’s Internal Control Evaluation Standards and Policies.
•
Contribute to the EMEA Internal Audit team’s reports and recommendations, helping keep them high-quality and consistent so they support compliance with corporate standards. You’ll also help bring leading practices into the team to boost efficiency, productivity, and control effectiveness.
•
Help refine audit procedures over time — including advancing integrated audits — and support the team’s quality assurance and improvement programs.
•
Help onboard new EMEA Internal Audit team members, introducing them to the team’s general and newer audit activities.
•
Get involved in additional projects as they come up, such as financial due diligence and other special assignments.
What You’ll Bring
•
A Bachelor’s degree in Business, Accounting, Finance, or equivalent hands-on knowledge. Progress toward a CPA or CIA is a nice to have, and a Master’s degree (or global equivalent) is a bonus if you have one.
•
3-5 years of solid experience in financial and operational auditing, or equivalent experience in financial accounting or controlling functions.
•
Experience in general industry — this role isn’t looking for a banking or financial institutions background specifically.
•
No leadership experience required — this is about what you bring technically and personally, not who you’ve managed.
•
Working knowledge of US GAAP, GAAS, and IIA Standards, along with the COSO Framework and Sarbanes-Oxley/SEC compliance requirements for internal control over financial reporting. A solid grasp of IFRS and/or European country-specific accounting standards is a plus.
•
Strong interpersonal skills, with a genuine knack for problem-solving and resolving conflict, and the ability to build effective working relationships with people at every level of the organization.
•
A digital mindset — you’re ready to actively help push forward the digitalization of Internal Audit activities.
•
Excellent verbal and written communication in both German and English; additional languages are a plus.
•
Strong command of MS Office and SAP, plus general comfort with digital tools — experience with AuditBoard and/or SAI360 is a bonus.
