ABOUT THE ROLE

Siemens Healthineers is building the next generation of its global Assurance function — bringing together Audit, Internal Controls, Governance and Enterprise Risk Management into a coherent, future-ready framework. As Senior Expert Assurance Strategy & Innovation, you will be a key architect of this transformation: shaping strategy, driving AI integration and enabling the newly established Assurance Hub in India. Working in close partnership with the Head of Assurance and leadership team, you will act as a strategic thought partner at the intersection of governance excellence and digital innovation.

Provide strategic analysis and decision support to the Head of Assurance on cross-Assurance transformation topics.
Shape forward-looking concepts and frameworks across the entire Assurance spectrum (Audit, IC, Governance, ERM).
Advance the Combined Assurance approach — further integrating Audit, IC, Governance and ERM into a coherent, holistic framework.
Build and own the strategic roadmap for AI integration within the Assurance function.
Develop and implement a global knowledge-transfer concept across all regions (AM, EUR, AMEA, China).
Act as a sparring partner and Subject Matter Expert in establishing the Internal Controls and Audit function in India (Project Pathfinder).
AI & Digital Innovation
Identify and evaluate AI use cases and prepare structured decision papers for AI-driven solutions to enhance efficiency and quality within the Assurance function.
Lead strategic AI pilot projects within the Assurance function and transition successful pilots into scalable, replicable approaches.
Collaborate with the operational Digi/AI team in Germany — ensuring coherence between AI initiatives and the overarching Assurance vision.
Project Management & Coordination
Lead selected cross-Assurance strategic initiatives on behalf of the Head of Assurance and coordinate implementation across Audit, Internal Controls, Governance and ERM.
Translate strategic Assurance priorities into structured programmes, milestones and measurable outcomes.
Monitor strategic Assurance KPIs (e.g. MPA follow-up, RIC Deficiency Trending and Ageing) and derive corrective actions.
Develop and coordinate the annual global Assurance learning and development programme — including AI competency building across the entire Assurance team, structured Learning Paths aligned to Finance archetypes and cross-team collaboration formats.

Your Profile And Skills

Strategic mindset combined with the ability to structure complex topics and translate them into concrete actions — you think beyond operational execution and actively shape direction.
Strong affinity for digital technologies and AI: you not only understand use cases but can assess, drive and communicate their strategic value for the Assurance function.
Genuine enthusiasm and the ability to inspire and energise others — you bring fresh momentum to teams and discussions, creating the drive that makes change happen.
High level of initiative and drive — you advance topics proactively and act as a driving force in a dynamic, global environment.
Strong communication skills with the ability to engage convincingly at all levels — from operational teams to senior leadership.
Ability to build networks and transfer knowledge — you bridge regions, disciplines and teams and foster a collaborative, learning Assurance community.
Experience in accompanying and enabling teams (onboarding, coaching, SME role) — you share knowledge in a structured way and ensure quality.
International mindset and intercultural competence — willingness to work in a global hub model (Bangalore) and act as the interface between the India Hub and global leadership.
Hands-on mentality paired with conceptual strength: equally capable of designing a strategic framework and operationally accompanying its implementation.
