About the project

Join our global Risk and Compliance team in Gdańsk and play a key role in protecting Arla’s assets and strengthening the reliability of financial and ESG reporting. In this role, you will combine a broad financial risk and compliance perspective with a particular focus on IT General Controls, financially relevant systems, Segregation of Duties and collaboration with external auditors. You will work across Finance, IT and business operations to strengthen Arla’s global control environment and support sustainable risk mitigation.
How you will make an impact
As Risk & Compliance Manager, you will help identify and mitigate fraud, financial reporting and technology-enabled risks across Arla’s processes and systems. You will coordinate and support IT control activities relevant to the annual Group audit, facilitate effective dialogue between external auditors and internal stakeholders, and help ensure that appropriate controls are designed, implemented and operated effectively.
