Shape an integrated, technology-enabled approach to risk and internal control across a global organisation. Are you experienced in building and improving Risk & Internal Control frameworks within a complex international business? Would you like to help shape how risk, controls and technology come together during a major business transformation? Join BDR Thermea Group, a leading manufacturer of energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions, as our Group Risk and Internal Control Manager and play a central role in strengthening an integrated, proactive and increasingly IT-enabled Risk & Internal Control environment. Your role As Group Risk and Internal Control Manager, you act as a trusted second-line advisor and challenger to the business. You help the first line identify and manage risk effectively, provide practical methodologies and tools, and assess whether key controls are designed and operating as intended. This is a transformation-focused role rather than a “steady-state" control position. You will help design, implement, and continuously improve an integrated control framework across our markets, business areas, development units, and Group functions. A key part of this journey is ensuring that our Risk & Internal Control approach makes effective use of ERP technology, including SAP S/4HANA. Your work will contribute to a more consistent, transparent, and technology-enabled control environment across the Group. You report to the Director Risk Management & Internal Audit and work closely with the Group Manager Internal Audit, senior business leaders and a global community of local Risk & Internal Control experts (our “SPOC community”). This is a senior individual contributor position with global scope. Your role is a hybrid role based in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. We value flexibility and collaboration: you are encouraged to spend at least two days per week in the office, while enjoying support for your home office setup and travel costs. In this role, you can expect to travel approximately 10% of your time to local operating companies. Your key tasks Act as a trusted second-line advisor and challenger, guiding the organisation through the end-to-end risk management cycle and supporting senior leaders in identifying, assessing and mitigating key risks. Lead and facilitate risk assessments across the Group, translating findings into practical recommendations and actionable insights for stakeholders. Coordinate a global network of Risk & Internal Control experts and drive consistent adoption of risk management processes, controls and GRC tooling. Oversee and support the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of internal control frameworks across regions, business areas, development units, and Group functions. Help embed Risk & Internal Control requirements within the organisation's evolving ERP landscape, including SAP S/4HANA, while leveraging technology to strengthen governance and efficiency. Monitor the effectiveness of controls, compliance activities and mitigation measures, while providing methodologies, tools and training that foster a strong risk and control culture. What you bring Significant experience in Risk Management, Internal Control, Audit, or Risk Advisory, typically gained through approximately 8 to 12 years in an international corporate or consulting environment. Experience designing, implementing and improving Risk Management and Internal Control frameworks in a complex organisation. A solid understanding of recognised internal control frameworks, such as COSO. Experience with controls, compliance, and governance across multiple business areas, such as Finance, IT, Supply Chain, or Operations. Understanding of ERP environments and exposure to systems such as SAP ECC or S/4HANA. Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to advise, influence, and constructively challenge stakeholders across functions, markets, and cultures. A proactive and pragmatic mindset, with the ability to bring structure, drive improvement, and translate ideas into tangible results. A Bachelor's or Master’s Degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, International Business, Engineering, or a related field.
