Internal audit manager, US

About the role

At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies: a company that serves a huge number of customers, grows team members to their full potential, functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, creates extraordinary value for shareholders, and does so while adhering to high ethical standards. We acquire and improve digital businesses not to sell on, but to own and operate for the long term. Transformations we make are deep—designed to speed up innovation, benefit customers, and strengthen business performance. Here, hierarchy is minimal and teams are small and talent-dense. We operate established products with the ambition, agility, and urgency of a startup. Across the company, we integrate AI deeply into how we work so that human judgment and machine intelligence reinforce each other.

For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate.

Responsibilities

• Own SOX compliance and manage end-to-end SOX compliance implementation across business processes and IT systems.
• Lead internal control evaluations: test and assess controls across the organization—evaluating their effectiveness, identifying gaps and risks, and driving remediation to resolution.
• Drive the annual internal audit plan: develop and own internal audit programs across financial, operational, technology, and compliance areas.
• Deliver findings and remediation recommendations to senior management and the audit committee.
• Shape the internal audit function: work with our Head of Internal Audit to build the function from the ground up; help establish and continuously evolve methodology, governance, and tooling.
• Manage key stakeholder relationships: work closely with external auditors, senior management, and the audit committee; translate findings into clear communications and track the implementation of recommendations through to completion.

What we look for

• Reasoning ability: Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles and structure your ideas sharply. You resist the influence of biases and identify and take care of the details that matter.
• Drive: You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do—and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work and hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
• Team spirit: You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea. You're always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent.
• Proficiency in English: You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

What we offer

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams: work in small, result-oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
• An exceptional opportunity for growth: we go to great lengths to hire individuals of outstanding potential—then, our priority is to put them in the ideal position to thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll soon be playing an essential role in major projects, too.
• All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited backing for learning and training, top-of-the-market health insurance, a rich relocation package, generous parental support, and a yearly retreat to a stunning location. We help each Spooner set up the conditions to do their best work.
• Competitive pay and access to company equity at a discount. Typically, we offer individuals with limited experience an annual salary of $204,281 in the United States. For candidates we assess as possessing exceptional potential and highly unusual achievement, compensation typically ranges $257,642 to $522,120. Compensation varies by location and expected impact. In higher-cost markets such as New York City, offers are generally positioned toward the upper end of the range. As you grow your expertise and increase your contributions, your compensation can grow rapidly alongside your impact.
