ALL AROUND THE WORLD
Our Global Finance team calls our headquarters in Herzogenaurach its home. Due to PUMA's global presence, we also have regional and local finance teams. The setup offers a great opportunity working abroad for candidates on the lookout for international experience. To extend skill sets and broaden knowledge, we also regularly bring candidates from our subsidiaries to Herzogenaurach and vice versa.
INTERNAL AUDIT
“Internal Audit at PUMA is a business partnering function that provides added value to our company. For instance, we conduct internal audits at our PUMA subsidiaries worldwide and provide recommendations in order to improve business processes in terms of efficiency and effectiveness as well as to reduce the risk exposure for PUMA. Our audit recommendations and derived measures are being followed-up regularly so that significant improvements are achieved over time which brings us step by step closer to being Forever Faster.
Due to global projects, a day in our team can start in the PUMA HQ in Herzogenaurach but also in any country worldwide where PUMA is operating. Meeting new persons, sharing ideas and learning from each other is essential for our job.”
