Why ARA at Stryker?
Our team is growing, and we are seeking someone with MedTech, pharmaceutical, or general life sciences industry acumen. Are you interested in driving improvements in risk management, controls, and governance processes? As a member of our Assurance and Risk Advisory (ARA) function, you will play an integral role in bringing value to the business to help the organization achieve its strategic objectives. You will have the chance to work with a dynamic and global team that supports the organization’s strategy through customer focus and innovation. This role involves conducting assessments and audits across a variety of Stryker functions, and we are looking for individuals with a blend of functional expertise outside of audit to join our team (e.g., compliance, commercial, quality and regulatory/clinical affairs).
The Senior Risk Analyst is responsible for executing operational and compliance related internal audit projects and should have MedTech, pharmaceutical, or general life sciences industry knowledge including understanding of relevant standards, regulations, and emerging risks to support internal audit activities. Baseline knowledge of internal audit principles, methodologies, and practices is a plus, but is not a requirement.
This hybrid role can be based out of our offices in Portage, MI; Flower Mound, TX or Mahwah, NJ.
