The team works closely with senior leaders, risk functions, business areas and regulators. It is a role for someone who enjoys both strategic influence and hands‑on leadership. You will set the tone, build capability and help create an audit function that is trusted, respected and future‑focused.

You will lead, mentor, and guide a team of 11 audit professionals based in Berlin and Amsterdam—including Senior Audit Managers, Audit Managers and Audit Assistants—fostering growth across a diverse, international team.
