Senior Internal Audit Manager

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.

What you'll do

• 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.
• Run audit work programmes and prepare high-quality reports, dashboards, and summaries for senior stakeholders and committee reporting, driving remediation actions to resolution.
• 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 and external audit partners, translating findings into clear, actionable communication.

What you'll need

• 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 evaluation, testing, and remediation. ERM / COSO knowledge is essential.
• Practical, in-house audit implementation experience (not purely advisory).
• Experience developing audit universes, methodologies, work programs, reports, dashboards, and committee-level summaries.
• Strong background in continuous auditing and data analytics.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and report-writing skills.
• Fluency in English.
