Kraków, Lesser Poland Imperial Brands Pełny etat

The Role

As part of Imperial Brand's companywide transformation, the company launched a multiple-scope Global Business Services organisation ("GBS"). As part of the functional operating models, GBS will deliver services around Finance, Data, IT and Procurement as well as a centralised approach to controls assurance across retained as well as shared service operations (including but not limited to GBS itself).

There has been a clear recognition by the Group's Board that a robust and consistently applied internal control framework is essential to the success of the Group and as result we continue to strengthen our existing capabilities by establishing a dedicated Compliance Centre of Capability function as part of our wider GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) operating model.

The role will effectively stand-up an industrialised approach to internal control monitoring, testing and reporting at different organisational levels to provide appropriate comfort over control design and operating effectiveness by providing consistent and comprehensive assurance over key operational and compliance risks through performing control testing (or overseeing testing by others) as well as consistently and efficiently executing control monitoring activities (e.g. continuous auditing).

The GBS Compliance Tower Lead is a member of the GBS Leadership team, as well as the Group's Integrated Assurance Forum, responsible for ensuring robust internal control assurance processes are in place over financial and non-financial risks and related key control solutions / risk mitigations.

The role is based in Krakow with occasional travelling to Head Office (around 10 – 20%).

  • Continuously improve the Group's internal control framework through engaging with Global Risk & Internal Control (GRIC) on any identified control design weaknesses so that these can be addressed in a timely manner by GRIC.

  • Act as site risk and compliance manager to facilitate GBS centric risk assessment and internal audit activities.
  • Provide recommendations to GBS Director and GBS Leadership team to keep them aware of developments within the local industry.
