Team mission

The Internal Controls team acts as a strategic partner to the business, designing effective, automated controls and streamlined operations rather than policies that ask someone to remember a step. The Internal Controls sits within Finance and acts as the second line of defense in GetYourGuide's Three Lines Model, and collaborates with stakeholders across the organization. You will build and run GetYourGuide's internal control over financial reporting (ICOFR) program from the ground up to reach a steady evidenced operating cadence.

Your mission

  • Design, implement, and run GetYourGuide's Internal Controls framework, focusing both on Financial Reporting and IT General Controls.
  • Lead the creation and execution of risk assessment methodologies to identify critical areas in financial reporting and IT processes.
  • Design and oversee the implementation of control activities across the company to mitigate identified risks.
  • Build and lead the Internal Controls team, setting the standard for how the business assesses, documents, and communicates control and risk information.
  • Partner with the business to design automated controls into new systems, markets, and processes as they're built, rather than retrofitting them afterward, consistently reducing reliance on manual, evidence-heavy controls.
  • Own the relationship with external auditors, coordinating scoping, walkthroughs, and testing, and driving remediation plans through to closure.
  • Translate technical findings and control gaps into clear, actionable decisions for senior leadership and non-technical stakeholders and provide regular training and updates on best practices in internal controls and changes in regulations.
  • Benchmark, monitor and report on the effectiveness of the internal control systems, and provide strategic recommendations to senior management.

Your toolkit

  • 8+ years of experience in internal controls, internal audit, external audit at a Big Four firm or equivalent, including experience building or scaling a controls function.
  • Strong working knowledge of financial reporting, ITGC, and risk management. and hands-on experience running ICOFR programs.
  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field.
  • A professional qualification such as CPA, ACCA, CIA, or equivalent.
  • Experience with GRC or control management platforms, such as Workiva or equivalent, and a genuine passion for automating manual control activities.
  • A track record of partnering across the business beyond Finance, to design controls that hold up operationally, not just on paper.
  • Proven experience building a high-performing team in an agile environment.
  • You use AI tools consistently and effectively in your work, with concrete examples of how AI has improved the efficiency, quality, or coverage of your control testing and reporting.
  • Excellent communication skills, equally credible with external auditors, and non-technical business leaders as executives.

Extras that give you an edge

  • Experience with control automation tooling, such as Vanta or equivalent.
  • Experience building or scaling an enterprise risk management program alongside a financial controls function.

How we’ll make your career journey extraordinary

  • Annual personal growth budget and mentorship programs for continuous learning and development
  • Work from anywhere in the world for 30 days per year
  • A hybrid working approach with three days of in office collaboration (Mon, Tue, Thur) and two days of optional at home focus time.
  • Opportunities to collaborate and socialize with a quarterly team event budget
  • Access to leading AI tools plus the resources and budget to get the most out of them

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
