Internal Control Analyst

Job Description

We are seeking a dedicated Corporate Internal Control Analyst to champion robust controls and drive compliance in this dynamic environment. This is not a legacy compliance role—it is an opportunity to leverage data analytics (Power BI, SQL) to modernize how we manage risk. You will join a forward-thinking team responsible for protecting the “Blue Oval” by fostering a strong control environment across our global operations.

What You Will Do…

• Contribute to the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of financial (ICFR) and operational controls to ensure compliance with SOX, GDPR, and company policies.
• Execute annual control testing cycles, identify control gaps or failures, and partner with business owners to develop and execute robust remediation plans.
• Leverage advanced data tools (Power BI, Excel Macros/VBA, Qlik) to automate control monitoring, visualize risk data, and streamline reporting processes.
• Proactively identify potential financial and operational risks, providing guidance and best-practice recommendations to business units to mitigate issues before they become audit findings.
• Serve as a primary liaison between business stakeholders and external/internal auditors (including Big 4 partners), coordinating information requests and reviewing audit findings.
• Cultivate strong working relationships with diverse global teams, participating in regional initiatives to enhance the overall control environment and culture.

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field, or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
• 3+ years of relevant professional experience in Finance, Internal Control, External Auditing, or Risk Advisory.
• Solid understanding of the COSO framework, Sarbanes‑Oxley (SOX) requirements, and internal control principles.
• Experience with data modeling and visualization tools, specifically Microsoft Power BI and Excel (including Macros/VBA).
• Demonstrated ability to lead through influence, communicate complex compliance issues to non‑finance stakeholders, and work collaboratively in a team environment.

• Master’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or an MBA.
• CPA (Certified Public Accountant), CIA (Certified Internal Auditor), or CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) are highly valued.
• Prior experience in a “Big 4” Public Accounting firm (Audit or Risk Advisory practice).
• Advanced proficiency with SQL (querying and data manipulation) and Qlik Sense.
• Previous experience in a large-scale manufacturing, automotive, or heavy industrial environment with complex supply chains.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies or Project Management Professional (PMP) concepts.
