Our ambitions to shape the future of sustainable mobility are powered by our talent. Join us, and get better with every move.

We are looking for an Audit Manager Digital / IT who has experience in IT, (cyber) security and / or digital transformation, if possible with financial institution experience. The candidate not only understands the challenges of having a secure and controlled IT environment and digital transformation programmes, but also can link these to our audit approach and can provide relevant insights to the business. Taking ownership and providing constructive and timely feedback to team members is your second nature. You are looking forward to have regular update meetings with management throughout the IT / Digital organisation to follow the many initiatives within Ayvens and discuss (follow-up of) audit findings and (emerging) trends.

As Audit Manager Digital / IT you will act as the subject matter expert on one or more specific IT / Digital areas and will provide assurance by conducting audits, not only in relation to IT & Digital processes but also in a broader context (operational, governance and leasing processes) across all entities of the Ayvens Group, including the head-office and leasing / support entities (across 42 countries).

• The primary responsibility of the Audit Manager Digital / IT, under the responsibility of the Supervisors and Directors, is leading audits across all entities of the Ayvens Group. You can be assigned as Head of Mission or Team Member depending on your maturity and based on the annual audit plan. As Head of Mission you will manage the audit team and process, across and beyond IT / Digital domains (e.g. cyber, agile development, IT operations, information security, large projects). You manage that all phases (preparation, diagnostic, investigation, reporting) are performed in accordance with standards, assigned resource budget and agreed timelines. The Audit Manager Digital / IT is ultimately responsible for the assignment’s deliverables, communication and collaboration, including a clear and fact-based audit report.
• When participating to an audit mission as a “Team Member”, the Audit Manager supports the Head of Mission (HoM) in planning, preparing and execution all phases of the Audit mission. In mutual agreement, the Audit Manager can be involved in (non-IT) end-to-end process audits as well (e.g. operational, governance and leasing processes).
• You have a strong understanding of digital trends and risks including digital transformation, cloud environments, cybersecurity and data privacy. You are able to apply knowledge of leading IT control frameworks, such as NIST CSF and ISO27K.

• Besides Digital / IT audits at Ayvens Group level, the role requires travelling to Ayvens entities (typically up to 10-12 weeks per year, depending on the yearly audit plan and maximum 2 consecutive weeks at a time).
• Besides the audit assignments, the Audit Manager Digital / IT plays a prominent role in the follow up of the remediation of audit findings and overarching transversal responsibilities related to the Audit Department’s organisation. This includes analysing emerging risks, maintaining audit work programs, performing stakeholder management across the company and promoting and implementing innovation (e.g. approach, tool, technology, AI).

To succeed in this role, you have the following skills and experience:

The ideal candidate has the interpersonal skills necessary to manage and build relationships across multiple departments, embracing change and adapting to a moving environment. You look forward to train and mentor less experienced team members during the audit mission on both the audit process / methodology and Ayvens businesses and products. Collaboration, agility, project management and decision making are examples of key behaviours reflecting the agile culture of Ayvens.

• University degree (at least Master’s) and (finishing) certification in relation to (IT) auditing and / or Information Security (e.g. RE, CIA or CISA);
