We are looking for an Integrity Manager to join our team!

Vacancy closes 09 March 2020.

About us
ASI – Assurance Services International – is an assurance partner for leading voluntary
sustainability standards and initiatives (read more about them here). ASI offers third-party
accreditation for voluntary certification schemes – in short, “auditing the auditors”. We also
design and oversee bespoke alternative assurance models to increase effectiveness and
manage oversight in our clients’ systems.
The ASI Team consists of more than 70 sustainability professionals with diverse backgrounds
and expertise. We have our headquarters in Bonn, Germany, an office in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia and colleagues based on every continent. We are proud of the diversity represented
in our team: 20+ languages, 35+ nationalities and experience in dozens of sectors.

We believe that “Good intentions are not enough” – sustainability claims have to be backed up
by evidence, underpinned by rigorous state of the art assurance systems.
ASI’s assurance work for leading voluntary standard systems is informed by various
information sources (“incidents”), and risk assessments which provide our integrity radar to
inform our global oversight work.

preserve the credibility of the schemes we work with.
