You have solid experience of driving governance, risk management, and compliance processes as well as experience from leading larger investment projects and M&A transactions. You have excellent language skills in English.

To be successful in this role you must be an analytical, solution-oriented, and business-minded person with a high work capacity. You have a high level of integrity and are confident in your competence and decision-making. Furthermore, you have excellent communication skills and great ability to work in a group.

What we offer you

You are offered a varied and exciting position where you will play a key role in our work with securing compliance and developing and implementing processes and routines within GRC. You will also be part of helping us to secure our growth. At Perstorp, you have room to grow, challenge, and learn. Thanks to our global presence, you have the opportunity to work with cross-functional teams and connect with people across the globe. Although we have operations in many different countries, we are still considered a small company, which means that each employee can make a real difference.
