Your new work environment

As a Senior Cyber Security Auditor at Ahold Delhaize Group, you will have a unique opportunity to gain deep insight into a wide range of business and technology domains across our global organization. You will work in a multidisciplinary audit team, combining IT, cybersecurity, data, and operational expertise, where you will not only participate in, but also lead, complex IT and cybersecurity audits. In addition, you will contribute to broader operational audits that span our end‑to‑end value chain.

Your scope is broad and constantly evolving, ranging from cyber security controls and automated warehouse environments to core HR platforms and the consumer‑facing digital experiences used across our European brands. You will help drive meaningful change by evaluating the resilience, security, and integrity of the systems that underpin our business operations and deliver customer impact.

In this role, you will assess risk management and control effectiveness for various business units and brands across Europe. You will translate your findings into clear, actionable insights and engage with management on improvement opportunities. Each audit is different, the topics, teams, and stakeholders vary, which offers continuous learning and challenge within a dynamic, international environment.

Beyond audit delivery, you will also play an important role in strengthening our global audit community. You will coordinate initiatives aimed at training, coaching, and developing audit staff across the group. As a senior auditor, you will proactively build and maintain strong relationships with management and external partners at the brand level to anticipate emerging risks and ensure strong stakeholder engagement.
