Drive Business Insight and Continuous Improvement as a Senior IT Auditor

Volvo Group Internal Audit (GIA)

The core mission of Group Internal Audit (GIA) is to provide the Board and the Executive Board with independent, objective and risk-based assurance, advice and insights on effectiveness and efficiency of the governance, risk management and internal control systems of the Volvo Group. 

We help Volvo Group Management in accomplishing their objectives by bringing a systematic and co-operative approach designed to improve Volvo Group operations and supporting cross-functional cooperation, and we contribute to end-to-end operational excellence by sharing common patterns, learnings and best practices.

You’ll be part of a diverse and multicultural team working across Volvo Group’s Trucks Technology & Industrial Division, Business Areas, and Group Functions. Our IT audits cover a wide range of topics — from security and risk management to digital transformation, strategic initiatives and governance — giving you deep insights into the inner workings of a global industrial leader.

The Position

This position is based at Volvo Group headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden. While we offer some flexibility in how you plan your work, the role requires you to be based in Gothenburg and have the right to work in Sweden.

As part of our global audit team, you will engage with operations across multiple markets and regions. You will typically participate in 4–5 audits per year, covering the full audit lifecycle — from planning and fieldwork to reporting and follow-up. You will assess IT processes, systems and internal controls, evaluate risk exposure, and provide actionable recommendations that support performance and continuous improvement.

You will also contribute to the evolution of our audit methodology, helping us adapt and stay aligned with Volvo Group’s fast-changing business environment and strategic goals.

• In-depth understanding of different information- and cybersecurity frameworks and regulations (e.g., ISO 27001, COBIT, NIS2, GDPR). 
• Broad understanding of IT systems, networks, databases, and emerging technologies such as cloud computing and AI, and how IT is embedded across operations, sales, supply chain, or services.

• Willingness and ability to travel internationally on a recurring and regular basis.
• University degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business Administration, or a related field.
