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. You’ll provide independent insight into the maturity, resilience and regulatory compliance of global operations, while validating second line activity delivered through the Business Management System (BMS), including its alignment to ISO 13485. Your work will directly inform decision‑making at senior leadership, Group ARC and Board level.
You’ll conduct audits across sourcing, procurement, manufacturing, inbound logistics, stock integrity, warehousing and distribution, taking a holistic end‑to‑end view of the supply chain. 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. You’ll be comfortable working with quality management systems and regulatory frameworks, including ISO 13485, and have experience auditing or assessing complex, regulated environments. You’ll exercise sound professional judgement as an independent assurance provider and engage confidently with senior leaders and Board-level forums
