Internal Auditor
Internal Auditor
Full-time/part-time, 32–38 hours per week
Do you enjoy getting to the bottom of things and have a knack for understanding complex processes? Would you like to work for a large international company with growth in its DNA? Then a position as Internal Auditor at our international headquarters might be just right for you! With your experience in conducting (operational) audits, strong communication skills, analytical insight, and enthusiasm, you’re a perfect fit for Action and our Internal Audit team!
Your daily actions
You provide management with valuable insights to better manage our risks. As a Internal Auditor, you are involved in planning, executing, and reporting on operational audits.
You contribute directly to assessing and strengthening the internal control of our business processes by offering pragmatic and cost-conscious solutions. Your audit activities result in action-oriented reports that add value for management, along with structured follow-up on agreed action plans. Thanks to your strong relationships with department and senior management, you stay informed about the implementation of improvements.
Due to our rapid international growth, we now have the stature of a multinational corporation—without the rigid frameworks. This gives you the freedom to share ideas and initiate improvements! You will conduct audit activities in all European countries where Action operates. Please note that you’ll be traveling approximately 10% of the time.
Your team
Together with five fellow auditors and the Manager Internal Audit, you form the Internal Audit team. Internal Audit is part of Risk Assurance, which also includes the Risk Management and Privacy teams. Together, we are essential to developing and improving our business processes. Our activities span the entire value chain—from purchasing our products to selling them in our stores, in every country where we operate.
Who you are
As a Internal Auditor at Action, you plan and carry out audit activities independently, based on your understanding of the business context. You are an analytical thinker, able to relate Action’s strategic goals to operational business processes and financial results. You work efficiently and in a structured manner, communicate clearly, and possess strong stakeholder management skills. You can make complex matters understandable and are comfortable guiding colleagues with less audit experience in their learning journey.
Additionally, you have:
- A Master’s degree in economics or a related field, supplemented with a completed post-master qualification such as RA, or RO or equivalent.
- At least 6 years of audit experience, gained either as an external auditor at a large professional organization, or partly as an external auditor and partly within the internal audit department of a large company.
- Knowledge of corporate governance, risk management, internal control, internal audit standards, and audit management systems.
- Fluency in English.
What we offer
Surprisingly much! From our international headquarters in the Netherlands you have an impact on what happens in our stores across Europe. We welcome more than 15 million customers every week in more than 3300 stores in 15 European countries. We have great growth ambitions. For Action and for you. Because our growth means that you can always take new steps. A different position, an interesting innovation project, new skills: you can continue to develop as a professional. And all this in a culture where our shared values are truly lived: customer focus, teamwork, simplicity, discipline, cost conscious and respect.
Did you know you can also count on:
- A market-based salary based on a 38-hour work week
- An annual bonus between 7,5 and 15% based on company and personal performance
- 24 days of holiday and the option to buy 5 extra days (based on 38 hours per week)
- Flexible working hours and the possibility of working up to 40% from home, of course in coordination with your team and manager
- 15% staff discount on your purchases at Action
- A good pension scheme, collective health insurance and travel expenses allowance (Zwaagdijk-Oost is traffic jam-free and only 30 minutes by car from Amsterdam)
How we contribute to society
If you only know Action from our stores, you’ll discover a whole new world behind the scenes when you join us. We’re working hard to make a positive impact on society and the environment. For example, did you know we sponsor over 2,000 children growing up in SOS Children’s Villages worldwide? That our team reflects the diversity of our customers, with 124 nationalities represented? That we already source 70% of our wood products and 86% of our cotton sustainably? And that more than half of our stores use only energy-efficient LED lighting? Yes, that’s also Action. Curious about more of our initiatives? Join our team and discover them for yourself.
