Role Overview

Arrow Electronics, a global leader in electronic components distribution and enterprise computing solutions, is seeking a talented Senior Corporate Auditor to join its rapidly expanding EMEA Corporate Audit Team. This pivotal role, primarily based in London, United Kingdom, with remote flexibility, plays a crucial part in delivering responsive, risk-based audit and advisory services. Operating with objectivity, fairness, and transparency, you'll partner with stakeholders across the organization to safeguard enterprise value while navigating complex risks in strategic, financial, operational, compliance, and reputational domains.

As a Senior Corporate Auditor at Arrow Electronics in the United Kingdom, you'll serve as a team captain, leading high-impact audit engagements throughout the EMEA region. This position demands not just technical audit prowess but also the agility to adapt project scopes, solve problems creatively, and communicate intricate risk concepts to diverse audiences—from frontline operations teams to C-suite executives. With Arrow's commitment to gold-standard audit practices, you'll contribute invaluable insights that evolve the function and drive business improvements in the dynamic world of manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain industries.

The role emphasizes leadership, where you'll foster positive team dynamics, mentor junior staff, and ensure work-life balance amid demanding travel schedules (up to 40% international). Leveraging tools like Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Oracle, and data analytics platforms such as Power BI, you'll execute bespoke audits that go beyond checklists, delivering tailored assurance on critical business goals. If you thrive in a collaborative, flat-structured environment and possess a proven track record from Big 4 firms or similar, this opportunity at Arrow Electronics offers a platform to shape enterprise risk management at a Fortune 500 scale.

Day in the Life

Imagine starting your day remotely from your home office in the United Kingdom, reviewing the latest audit program for an upcoming EMEA supply chain engagement. By 9:00 AM, you're on a video call with your London-based team, assigning tasks based on individual strengths—perhaps directing a junior auditor to analyze Oracle transaction data using ACL analytics while you benchmark operational controls against COSO frameworks.

Mid-morning shifts to stakeholder collaboration: a deep-dive meeting with Arrow's distribution leaders in the Netherlands, where you translate financial control gaps into actionable business language, earning nods of approval for your clarity. Lunch at 12:30 PM (30 minutes, per the 37.5-hour structured week), then afternoon fieldwork—traveling to a manufacturing site in Germany to test inventory processes, adapting your program on-the-fly when emerging cyber risks surface.

Back in London or remotely by evening, you craft high-quality deliverables in PowerPoint, incorporating Power BI visualizations that highlight risk mitigations. You wrap up by coaching a team member via candid feedback, ensuring they're set for success. This rhythm blends autonomy, travel excitement, and impactful leadership, all within a trusting culture that values your input on company-wide initiatives.

Why United Kingdom?

The United Kingdom stands as a premier hub for finance and audit professionals, offering unparalleled access to global markets from London's financial epicenter.

The UK's robust professional standards, aligned with IIA and COSO, perfectly suit this role, while remote flexibility lets you enjoy cultural riches—from Edinburgh's historic charm to Manchester's industrial heritage—without sacrificing work demands.

Beyond business, the United Kingdom boasts world-class infrastructure: efficient rail networks for EMEA travel, top-tier healthcare via NHS, and a diverse culinary scene. Cost of living varies, but London's salary premiums offset it, with remote options enabling affordability in places like Bristol or remote countryside. Post-Brexit resilience has strengthened UK audit demand, positioning Arrow professionals for EU cross-border expertise. Family-friendly policies, excellent schools, and green spaces like the Lake District make long-term settlement appealing, all while up to 40% travel exposes you to continental Europe.
