About The Position

Internal Control is a cornerstone of Schneider Electric’s resilience and long‑term performance. This role sits at the center of that mission. Working across a region that spans North and South America, you will help strengthen a framework that supports every dimension of the business.

You will also plan and execute financial, operational and compliance audits to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and strengthen business processes. This involves interviews, testing procedures and data analysis that support clear recommendations and shared outcomes with local management. A strong analytical approach is essential, and the role provides exposure to diverse datasets, analytical tools and audit technologies that help bring clarity to complex environments.
