Join us as an Internal Audit Manager (German market), based in our Paris, Berlin or Milan office, and take ownership of internal audit coverage for Germany while contributing to Group-wide missions across our European markets. As Qonto scales towards serving one million SMEs across Europe by 2028 and progresses through its credit institution licensing process, you will help provide robust, risk-based assurance as part of the organisation’s third line of defence. You will operate under the IIA Global Internal Audit Standards and report to our Head of Internal Audit.

➡️ WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Lead audit missions: Own audit missions end to end for the German Branch and contribute to Group-wide audits across a broad range of processes and risks—from planning and risk assessment through investigation, reporting and recommendation follow-up;

- Coordinate internal and external auditors: Work closely with Qonto’s Internal Audit team and coordinate our external provider in Germany, bringing in specialist expertise where needed while maintaining clear ownership of quality and delivery;

- Drive recommendation follow-up: Monitor the timely and sustainable implementation of audit recommendations, constructively challenge action owners and escalate material delays where needed;

- Contribute to the risk-based audit plan: Support the Head of Internal Audit with the annual risk assessment, maintain a clear view of risks affecting the German market and help keep the audit universe and multi-year audit plan up to date;

- Support local governance: Contribute to German Branch governance through risk reporting, local committees and interactions with relevant stakeholders and authorities;

- Strengthen our audit methodology: Help develop practical, repeatable standards, templates and ways of working that improve the quality, consistency and efficiency of audit missions across markets.

➡️ WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Internal audit expertise in banking: Solid experience in internal audit within banking or payment institutions, with a proven track record of leading audit missions end to end; CIA certification is a plus;

- German-market knowledge and languages: Fluent in German and English, with knowledge of German banking, compliance or AML requirements; experience working with BaFin-regulated organisations or local providers is advantageous;

- Generalist mindset: Genuine interest in covering varied topics rather than specialising in one domain, with the ability to ramp up quickly on unfamiliar subject matter and understand the wider business environment;

- Independent leadership: Comfortable creating structure in an evolving environment, prioritising competing demands, leading missions autonomously and managing relationships with external providers and senior stakeholders;

- Clear communication: Skilled at producing concise, defensible audit documentation and conveying findings, risks and recommendations clearly—from operational teams to senior management and governance bodies;

- Critical thinking and problem-solving: Able to identify inefficiencies and discrepancies independently, investigate root causes, use data effectively and confiden
