In this critical role during a transition period, you will report directly to the CFO. You are not only responsible for defining controls but, more importantly, for their successful implementation and embedding within the business. While a solid foundation of controls already exists, your task is to maintain the current framework and implement several new business controls.

Your primary responsibilities:

• Design & implementation: You possess the knowledge to design high-quality controls that specifically address identified business risks. You ensure these controls are practically executable and oversee their seamless integration into the organization.
• CAPEX focus: While the environment is Telecom-oriented, the current priority lies within the CAPEX business area.
• Process optimization: You analyze existing business processes, identify risks and 'control gaps', and propose improvements.
• Stakeholder coaching: You guide and coach business owners and Product Owners on the correct execution of controls, emphasizing the why and the specific risks being mitigated.
• Governance & monitoring: You support the rollout of controls related to OPEX monitoring, operational governance, and risk processes.
• Embedding: You ensure controls are properly documented and executed on a recurring basis (e.g., monthly) to build a sustainable 'control mindset'.
• Collaboration: You work closely with the central Control & Compliance department and external audit parties.

We are looking for a hands-on expert who can flawlessly translate theory into practice in a high-velocity environment.

• Experience: Minimum 3 to 5 years of relevant experience in Internal Controls, Risk Management, or Compliance Frameworks (e.g., COSO, ICFR, SOX environments). Relevant experience outweighs specific degrees or certifications.
• Background: A strong track record as a Business Controller, Compliance Consultant, or similar role. Experience within a Big Four firm or the Telecom/Infrastructure sector is a major plus.
• Implementation power: You have proven experience in actually implementing controls in an active business environment, rather than just documenting them.
• Tooling & systems: Advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint is essential. You will work with a mix of internal and external systems; while specific system knowledge is not required upfront, the ability to learn new tools quickly is a must.
• Stakeholder management: Excellent communication and influencing skills. You can explain complex risks and controls in a pragmatic, business-oriented way to various audiences.
• Personality: You are a self-starter, independent, and delivery-focused. You can navigate complex matrix structures and remain comfortable with shifting priorities and deadlines.
• Analytical skills: The ability to rapidly understand new organizations, processes, and systems.
