Internal Audit Leader

Delft

FULL TIME

August 29, 2024

Job ID: REF14757F
Date posted: 29/08/2024
At IKEA, we do things a little different. We think differently, act differently, and work differently as well. We like to break things. Like habits. And then make things. Like music-playing lamps. And beds disguised as sofas. Even plant balls that help us look after our planet. It’s all part of our vision - to create a better everyday life for the many. And it’s been keeping our co-workers going for over 75 years. By 2030, we hope to help millions more look forward to going home. Maybe you can help us?

You love to learn and develop together. As a team player, you enjoy discovering new ways to enhance your own skills and knowledge, as well as those of others around you. You like to share your knowledge and learnings and by doing so, coach your fellow internal auditors and guest auditors.
You like to get to the bottom of things. As a critical thinker you don't mind asking probing questions if it helps to achieve the right outcome. You do not overlook the essential aspects of auditing, yet you adopt a pragmatic and effective approach.
