This role sits within the Controls Assurance Team that is part of the wider ASOS Finance Team and involves assessing, documenting, and delivering internal control assessments, as well as addressing control deficiencies by providing support to create and implement effective controls. You will have the opportunity to partner the business by offering advice on control management, collaborating with key stakeholders.

The Details:
