Supplier Claims Auditor

The Supplier Claims Auditor is responsible for performing independent audits of supplier cancellation claims to ensure that only contractually obligated and substantiated costs are paid, driving measurable cost avoidance for Stellantis.

This role will interact extensively with suppliers, Purchasing, Supply Chain, Engineering, Finance, and Program Management to evaluate and resolve disputed claims. The Auditor will perform substantive testing of supplier claims, obtain and assess sufficient evidence to support payment recommendations, document results and findings, and clearly communicate conclusions to appropriate stakeholders and management.

The position includes on‑site verification of supplier inventories, production tooling, raw materials, and other assets included in cancellation claims. The Auditor will assess claims within the context of engineering program governance, tooling approval trails, supply chain compliance requirements, and commercial pricing mechanisms to ensure claims align with contractual terms, approved program decisions, and internal controls.

This individual will also coordinate audit efforts with dealer field auditors, Corporate Leadership Development (CLD) program participants, and other cross‑functional audit and operational teams, and prepare clear, concise management reporting to support leadership decision‑making.
