Ready to build confidence, strengthen controls and help Nespresso make better decisions?

Join Nespresso UK&I as our Internal Controller and help make effective risk management part of everyday business. You’ll bring expertise, curiosity and a collaborative approach to strengthening our internal control framework across the UK & Ireland, helping colleagues understand risks and put practical, sustainable controls in place.

Your Impact
Reporting to the Head of Financial Planning & Analysis, you’ll work with senior leaders and functional single points of contact to embed a strong and positive control culture. You’ll combine technical expertise with clear communication, helping teams mitigate risks, close control gaps and deliver lasting process improvements.

Key responsibilities include:
•    Ensure that the internal control framework is implemented within Nespresso UK and aligned with Nestlé Group standards
•    Promote a positive risk and control culture across the business. Build a strong community, driving awareness, educating and advising colleagues, so that controls are embedded in day-to-day operations and the business is audit-ready at all times.
•    Coordinate the yearly risk and control self-assessment and track action plans through to completion.
•    Monitor and provide advice on segregation of duties and critical accesses in order to keep them to a minimum. Ensure that compensating controls operate effectively
•    Together with Senior Management, lead audit preparation. Partner with internal and external auditors. Follow up on agreed actions with relevant owners so gaps are closed by their deadlines.
•    Working closely with relevant parties, support and coordinate the reporting of fraud cases as per Nestlé Group guidelines and track the implementation of resulting actions.
•    Suggest control improvements through automation and preventive solutions in order to improve efficiency. Validate robotic process automation before production use, checking access, segregation of duties and alignment with internal control guidance.
•    Support change from an internal control and process perspective, advising and promoting clear process documentation.

You’ll collaborate with the UK Management Leadership Team, functional teams, Nespresso’s headquarters internal control team, the wider Nestlé control community, IT and security colleagues, shared services and external audit partners.

Your ingredients for success
ou're a credible internal control specialist who can turn complex risks into clear, practical action, or someone with a financial background who can build trust, influence with integrity and work confidently across a matrix organisation. You’re comfortable investigating complex problems, constructively challenging established approaches and helping others build their capabilities.

Essential experience and skills:
•    University degree in Finance, Accounting or Auditing or equivalent.
•    Completed or in the process of completing an accounting qualification (E.g. ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA, etc.)

•    Strong analytical judgement: able to investigate complex issues, interpret control scenarios and make sound recommendations with incomplete information.
•    Confident communication and influencing skills, including with executive leadership. You can explain technical issues simply and coach non-specialists in effective control practices.
•    Strong ethics, a collaborative approach and the confidence to challenge constructively, develop others and drive continuous improvement.
