Team mission
Internal Audit is a new function at GetYourGuide, built from the ground up to support the business through its next phase of growth. As one of the function's first hires, you'll help shape its audit universe, methodology, and operating model, combining hands-on business audit work with SOX and internal-control readiness, and setting the foundations for how the function operates as it scales.
Your mission
• Help build the internal audit function from the ground up in line with IIA standards, establishing the audit universe, methodology, and cadence, and identify advisory or value-add opportunities that position the function as a trusted partner.
• Plan and execute business audit engagements across GetYourGuide's functions, partnering with business units, clusters, finance, controls, and risk stakeholders. Conduct fraud reviews and investigations as mandated by Management, and support programme assurance workstreams to optimise outcomes.
• Own SOX compliance work in your remit, including internal control evaluation, testing, and remediation, working alongside the controls team and Deloitte as co-sourcing partner. This includes assessing technology-related risk (security, cloud, AI controls) where relevant to scope; not an IT audit role, but tech and governance knowledge is expected.
• Run audit work programmes and prepare high-quality reports, dashboards, and summaries for senior stakeholders and committee reporting, driving remediation actions to resolution and tracking progress with process owners.
• Help shape the function's processes and tooling with an AI-first mindset, building in automation and analytics from scratch rather than inheriting legacy ways of working.
• Build relationships across finance, controls, and risk stakeholders (project management, treasury, supplier and vendor management, brand and marketing, sustainability, marketplace fraud) and external audit partners, translating findings into clear, actionable communication.
• Bring a proactive, detail-oriented approach and stay comfortable in a fast-paced environment where the function's structure and priorities are still evolving.
Your toolkit
• Around 6-8 years of end-to-end internal audit experience with financial literacy in reporting and accounting in line with IFRS / PCAOB standards.
• Proven experience building or establishing an internal audit function.
• Strong experience with SOX and internal-controls evaluati
