We are looking for an experienced Internal Auditor to join our growing Internal Audit Function within a fast-paced FinTech group providing payment and digital services to commercial road transportation companies across Europe.

Our internal audit activities are currently co-sourced with a Big 4 provider, but we are now strengthening our in-house audit capacity. This role offers a unique opportunity to be part of a transformation journey- developing internal audit methodologies, performing risk-based audits, and helping build a modern, data-driven audit function aligned with international standards and regulatory expectations.

As an Internal Auditor, you will perform end-to-end audits across various business lines and support strategic initiatives, working closely with external co-sourced auditors and internal stakeholders across Europe.

Education

• University degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration, Risk Management or a related field.

Professional Experience

• 3–6 years of relevant experience in internal audit, risk, or assurance- preferably within:

  • a Big 4 audit/advisory firm, or

  • a regulated financial or fintech institution

• Experience in executing risk-based audit assignments and communicating audit results to management.

• Understanding of internal control frameworks (e.g., COSO), IIA Standards, and risk management principles.

• Exposure to IT or data-driven environments (FinTech, payments, SaaS, or digital platforms) is a strong advantage.

• Previous experience with co-sourced audit models or supporting the transition to an in-house audit team is a plus.

Skills and Competencies

• Solid analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to assess both process and technology risks.

• Strong communication and report-writing abilities in English (C1 level or above).

• Confidence to challenge the status quo and engage effectively with management.

• Good understanding of EU financial sector regulations, particularly PSD2, AML/CFT, and data protection.

• Working knowledge of data analytics or audit management tools (e.g., Power BI, ACL, TeamMate, or equivalent) is desirable.

• High ethical standards, integrity, and professional curiosity.

Certifications (Preferred)

• Progress toward or possession of professional certifications such as CIA, ACCA, CFE, CISA, or CRMA.

• Support the development of the annual audit plan and contribute to ongoing risk assessment activities.

• Plan and execute risk-based internal audits across operational, compliance, IT, and financial processes within the FinTech ecosystem.

• Collaborate with co-sourced (Big 4) auditors and ensure consistent application of audit standards and methodologies.

• Assess design and operating effectiveness of internal controls, identifying areas for improvement and recommending practical remediation measures.

• Draft high-quality audit reports and communicate findings to process owners and management.

• Monitor the implementation of agreed remediation actions and follow up on overdue items.

• Participate in building internal audit methodologies, templates, and tools as the function transitions toward greater internalization.

• Contribute to the integration of data analytics and automated testing techniques into the audit process.

• Maintain awareness of relevant EU and local regulatory developments (e.g., PSD2, AML/CFT, data protection, internal control requirements).

• Foster a strong culture of governance, risk management, and compliance across the organization.
