Head of Internal Control – PECU Cluster

The Role

We are looking for a Head of Internal Control to lead our internal control function across the PECU Cluster (Peru and Ecuador). This is not a monitoring role — we need someone who can design and implement control frameworks from the ground up, identify gaps in existing processes, and build solutions that hold up operationally.

You will manage a team of currently 3 professionals across both countries, with room to grow. You will also work closely with global process owners and the Group's Internal Control team, which means English fluency is a real requirement for this role.

What You Will Do

• Design and lead the execution of the Internal Control Plan to mitigate strategic and operational risks across the cluster.
• Identify control gaps in existing processes and implement robust, practical control solutions — this is a hands-on implementation role.
• Serve as a strategic advisor to business unit and functional leaders on internal control matters, defining action plans and driving accountability.
• Support global internal audits and ensure timely follow-through on recommendations from internal and external audit findings.
• Design and adapt controls within Oracle ERP and other local platforms, coordinating with global process owners based in Geneva when needed.
• Lead operational internal control audits across business units and functional areas.
• Maintain and continuously update the cluster's risk and control matrix.
• Train and guide business and functional teams on ERP platforms and control best practices.

What We Are Looking For

• Degree in Accounting, Finance, Administration or related field — Accounting background strongly preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in Internal Control or related areas.
• 2+ years in a leadership or coordination role within Internal Control — we are also open to strong senior profiles ready for the next step.
• Proven experience implementing internal control frameworks (not only monitoring or following up on existing controls) — this is a must.
• Familiarity with the COSO framework; certification is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with ERP systems (Oracle experience is a plus given our current environment).
• Advanced English — you will communicate regularly with global teams via chat, workshops, and occasional meetings.

What We Offer

• Annual performance bonus (10%)
• Mobility allowance (fuel, maintenance & insurance support)
• EPS health insurance at 80% coverage (titleholder) + oncological insurance
• Corporate benefits and continuous learning opportunities
• Hybrid work model
