**Burson EMEA Risk and Controls Manager**
**Location: Middle East (preferred) or EMEA**
**About Burson**
Across our global team, we share a common practice: cultivating an open, curious mindset that is committed to growing. We create, contribute and challenge, but we don’t conform.
Our core belief is that the growth of our people fuels the growth of our clients, which powers the growth of our agency. No one aspect of Burson stands alone - when everything is growing together, anything is possible.
**The Role**:
This position is for a team member of the Risk and Controls group within Burson reporting directly to Burson’s Global Head of Risk and Controls (NYC-based). This role entails being a collaborative team member that works to maintain a strong control environment and operates as a “bridge” between Burson process areas and the WPP Risk and Controls, Internal Audit teams and as an extension, WPP’s external auditors. This includes advising the company on remediation solutions for control deficiencies identified. WPP’s requirements include a comprehensive risk and controls framework that is based on internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) and various accounting and control policies.
The CFO and his global finance team will rely heavily on this group, who will also assist with other compliance areas, as needed. Audit related work is approximately 75% of the position, with the remaining 25% being other types of projects, reviews, analyses, or investigations (e.g., investigating potential fraud, performing balance sheet reviews, reviewing a global client staffing plan from a more operational process perspective or any other type of review requested by the Global CFO).
**Responsibilities**:
- Together with other team members, support the Global Head of Risk and Controls both locally and globally
- Operate as a team as the “second line of defense” within Burson
- Identify risk areas and work with local finance teams to develop the necessary control framework, based on WPP’s Risk & Controls framework and prepare for upcoming audits
- Partner with regional and local finance teams to identify gaps and set a timetable for improvement including the implementation of necessary remediation plans and process documentation.
- Facilitate rollout of new Group policies amongst regional and local teams; and assist to tailor processes and procedures that ensure policy compliance.
- Assist in process alignment during system or SSC implementation.
- Educate and train local finance teams on control requirements and what control structures makes sense for their business including the assistance in creating and maintaining their controls’ documentation.
- Support the Global Head of Risk and Controls and senior finance leaders with their communications to organizational management, or other key internal/external stakeholders.
- Support and assist local finance teams on responses to all audit reports
- Liaise with peers across WPP including the WPP Internal Audit and Risk and Controls groups and the other operating companies
- Track audit schedules and pending reports / results
- Support ad hoc requests from the WPP Internal Audit or Risk and Controls groups
**Qualifications & Experience**:

- Public accounting audit experience a plus.
- Experience as an internal auditor in a regulated industry (e.g., banking) a plus.
- Experience with the PR industry a plus

- Can communicate diplomatically and skillfully; can settle issues calmly and win concessions without damaging relationships.
