Internal Control is a cornerstone of Schneider Electric's resilience and long-term performance. This role sits at the center of that mission. Working across a region that spans North and South America, you will help strengthen a framework that supports every dimension of the business. The position provides direct collaboration with functional experts, global process owners and members of the Global Internal Audit community, offering a clear view of how the organization operates and evolves.

The Internal Control framework covers Sales and Marketing, Manufacturing, Logistics, Purchasing, Human Resources, Pricing, Project Solutions, Field Services and the core Finance and Accounting operations. Within this environment, your role as an Internal Auditor includes contributing to audit missions and, at times, preparing and leading standard audits for front-office functions and industrial sites. These activities help assess internal controls, identify improvement opportunities, monitor operational risks and ensure action plans progress as intended.

You will also plan and execute financial, operational and compliance audits to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and strengthen business processes. This involves interviews, testing procedures and data analysis that support clear recommendations and shared outcomes with local management. A strong analytical approach is essential, and the role provides exposure to diverse datasets, analytical tools and audit technologies that help bring clarity to complex environments.

• Conduct interviews and additional tests to validate working assumptions and reinforce analytical reliability
• Knowledge of audit analytics tools, programming languages and visualization software such as ACL, SQL, Oracle Database, Python, R, Power BI and Tableau, as well as audit management tools such as TeamMate or AuditBoard, is considered an advantage
