Do you want to shape and strengthen internal audit in a global company where every role matters? We are looking for a trusted and business-minded Head of Internal Audit who can combine independence, influence, and collaboration to help drive continuous improvement across Alleima.
Placement: Stockholm
About the role
As Head of Internal Audit, you will lead the Group Internal Audit function and provide independent, objective assurance and advisory services that add value and improve Alleima’s operations. The role supports the achievement of Alleima’s objectives by systematically evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management, internal control, and governance processes. You will work closely with senior management, the Audit Committee, and business leaders around the world, while safeguarding the independence and objectivity of the Internal Audit function.
Your main responsibilities include:
Developing and implementing a risk-based internal audit strategy aligned with Alleima’s objectives and risk profile
Formulating, maintaining, and executing the annual Internal Audit plan, including special projects requested by the Audit Committee
Reporting audit activities, findings, risks, and recommendations to senior management and the Audit Committee, including escalation of significant risks or unresolved matters
Driving quality assurance and continuous improvement in line with The Institute of Internal Auditors’ Standards and Code of Ethics
Building strong relationships with senior management, the Board, business unit leaders, and external assurance providers
Leading, developing, and resourcing the audit team while supporting talent development, rotation, and the Guest Audit Program
In this role, you report functionally to the Audit Committee and administratively to the Chief Financial Officer. You will have full, free, and unrestricted access to relevant Alleima records, systems, properties, and personnel, as well as the authority to obtain necessary support or engage specialists when needed. The role also includes close collaboration with external auditors, compliance officers, Group Business Integrity, and other assurance providers to optimize coverage and avoid duplication.
About you
You hold a university degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, Law, or a related field. Professional certifications such as CIA, CPA, ACCA, or CISA are considered an advantage.
You bring extensive experience from internal audit, external audit, risk management, internal control, or a related field, preferably with previous leadership experience. You have strong knowledge of internal audit standards, risk-based auditing, governance best practices, and how to operate with independence and integrity in a complex, international manufacturing organization. Experience from regulated environments, audit committee reporting, or collaboration with external auditors is beneficial.
You communicate fluently in English and have good proficiency in Swedish, as the role requires collaboration and reporting in both languages.
As a person, you are analytical, structured, and proactive, with high integrity and a strong ethical mindset. You can operate in a decentralized organisation, build trust easily, communicate with confidence, and can translate complex risks into clear and actionable recommendations for different stakeholders. You combine strategic perspective with practical judgment and hands-on involvement and enjoy working in a collaborative environment where your expertise can make a real impact.
What you can expect from us:
A key role in a global company with deep Swedish roots, where transparency, inclusivity, and sustainability guide how we work
The opportunity to contribute to a culture where every idea, every innovation, and every individual counts
A collaborative and international environment where your leadership, perspective, and professional growth are recognized and supported
