We are hiring an Internal Auditor, reporting to the CFO. This role covers multiple Canonical corporate entities in several countries.
This is a unique opportunity for an astute and forward-thinking professional to build the audit function from the ground up at a profitable, fast-growing technology company. We're looking for someone with a keen interest in technology and how technology is changing the tax profession, who can translate that insight into a modern, effective strategy and hands-on execution.
Reporting directly to the CFO, you will design and own internal audit processes that support our global expansion. Your primary challenge will be navigating the complexity of our internal environment, where scale, controls, and automation are priority. You will work with the CFO to establish a scalable and efficient framework fit for a dynamic, global software business. You will also report the status of internal audit to the Audit committee.
In our selection process, we prioritize intellect and strategic thinking over years of experience. We are looking for someone with a strong academic background, a professional qualification and demonstrable exposure to a multilayered global operational environment.
Location: This role will be based remotely in AMER or EMEA time zones, with an option to office based in London, UK.
