Senior Internal Auditor

What’s the opportunity?

Reporting to an Internal Audit Manager, this role will be part of the Accounting vertical within Internal Audit. You will lead and execute risk‑based audits over key financial, accounting and administrative processes, with a strong focus on SOX/ICFR, data‑driven testing and SAP‑enabled environments.

We are looking for a modern internal auditor: someone who combines solid technical and accounting knowledge with advanced data skills and a strong understanding of how controls support a fast‑growing, technology‑driven fintech/payments business.

 

What will I be doing?

 

• Plan, execute and report risk‑based internal audits over end‑to‑end accounting and finance processes (e.g., Accounting & Financial Reporting, Revenue Recognition, Consolidation, P2P, FP&A, Fixed & Intangible Assets).

• Perform SOX/ICFR design and operating effectiveness testing, including walkthroughs, control testing and evaluation of deficiencies.

• Use data analytics (e.g., SQL, Python, BI tools, CAATs) to design and execute tests over large data sets, identify anomalies and trends, and enhance the depth and coverage of audit work.

• Assess the impact of new products, systems (including SAP), process changes and reorganizations on the control environment, providing independent challenge and recommendations.

• Prepare clear, structured audit reports that highlight key risks, root causes and practical, risk‑based recommendations for management.

• Follow up on agreed action plans, monitoring remediation of control deficiencies and supporting management in defining sustainable solutions.

• Coordinate with External Auditors on SOX and financial reporting topics, including data and documentation requests and the status of key control issues.

• Build strong, trusted relationships with stakeholders across Finance and other divisions, positioning Internal Audit as a partner in internal control matters.

• Contribute to the evolution of our audit methodology through automation, continuous auditing and the use of AI/advanced analytics where applicable.

What skills do I need?

 

• 5+ years of experience in external and/or internal audit roles (Big Four and/or leading companies). Experience in financial services, fintech and/or payments is strongly preferred.

• Solid SOX experience, including both control design and operating effectiveness testing.

• Strong knowledge of risk and internal control frameworks (e.g., COSO) and risk assessment methodologies.

• Robust understanding of accounting standards (e.g., IFRS).

• Advanced data skills (mandatory): ability to work with large data sets and use tools such as SQL, Python and/or BI/visualization tools in the context of audit and controls testing.

• Experience with SAP (especially FI/CO and related financial modules) is required or strongly preferred.

• University degree in Accounting, Business Administration, Economics or related field. Certifications are a plus.

• Fluency in English is required.

• Strong analytical, problem‑solving and critical‑thinking skills, with the ability to challenge constructively and prioritize based on risk.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, and comfort operating in a fast‑paced, evolving, multi‑country environment.
