Are you an incredibly analytical and systematic person famous for being extremely thorough and being able to spot any mistakes and incongruences in data? Would you like to learn or develop a niche and much sought-after skill? In a company in the automotive sector whose parent group has a $17 billion turnover with interests all across the globe? Then SOX compliance may be an ideal career route for you, and we are partnering with the right company to get you started!
Our client is experiencing incredible growth and all candidates we've placed here have benefitted from an incredibly friendly and supportive environment, all the training and mentorship needed for their career development, and a great work-life balance! In addition to this, everyone, including the group directors are expected to follow the exact same code of conduct to ensure fair practices at every level, which has resulted in not just a company-wide but also group-wide excellent workplace culture.

Therefore this role is absolutely crucial for the company, and you will be adding a lot of value with your work! You will also get to be involved in meetings with internal high-level stakeholders, the EU SOX compliance teams and external audit companies. There is also already a planned career route for you: you will eventually be able to hire and manage someone while you move on to coordinate and oversee the process. There are also plans to eventually build an internal audit team, which you would be well placed to be considered for.
