Internal audit manager, US

At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies—a company that serves a huge number of customers, where team members grow to their full potential, and that operates at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency while creating extraordinary value for shareowners. We acquire and improve digital businesses to own and operate for the long term, driving deep transformations to speed up innovation, benefit customers, and strengthen performance. Hierarchy is minimal, teams are small and talent-dense, and we integrate AI deeply into how we work to reinforce human judgment with machine intelligence.

Responsibilities

• Own SOX compliance. 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. Contribute to building 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.

Requirements

• Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, structure your ideas sharply, resist biases, and identify the details that matter.
• Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do—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 without expecting return, support the best idea (not just your own), and are always willing 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.

Benefits

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. Work in small, result-oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
• Exceptional opportunity for growth. We prioritize putting individuals of outstanding potential in positions to thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and you’ll soon play an essential role in major projects if you’ve got what it takes.
• 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.

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 from $257,642 to $522,120.

Schedule

Permanent, full-time role. During your first few months, we expect you to spend most days in our Milan office to ramp up quickly and absorb our company culture, regardless of your long-term work location. After that, you may work from one of our offices (Atlanta, Miami, New York, or Boston) or remotely from eligible countries, depending on what we agree at the offer stage.
