Ready to provide independent, third line assurance and strategic insight across our global supply chain operations? This is a unique opportunity to gain deep visibility across sourcing, supplier governance, manufacturing, logistics, planning, quality and regulatory frameworks, while helping senior leaders and the Board understand how effectively controls operate in practice. In this role, you'll plan and deliver risk-based audits that assess the design and effectiveness of supply chain controls.

This will include assessing supplier resilience, sustainability and third-party dependencies, as well as reviewing readiness for new market entries, new product categories and major transformation initiatives. A key part of the role involves evaluating forecasting and planning processes, including data quality, master data governance and Sales & Operations Planning discipline, alongside assessing business continuity and resilience across manufacturing sites, logistics routes and other critical supply chain nodes. You'll identify systemic issues, recurring themes and cross-functional improvement opportunities, presenting clear and concise audit reports that drive meaningful action. You'll bring strong experience from internal audit or an equivalent assurance or risk function, with a focus on delivering supply chain audits, supported by a relevant professional qualification such as CMIIA, ACA, ACCA or CIMA, alongside a supply chain or operational governance qualification such as CIPS or APICS/ASCM.
