Senior Internal Auditor - Fintech & Financial Services

Finvisor is growing, and so is our Internal Audit offering.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Internal Auditor to join our team in Ireland and support fintech clients across Ireland, the UK and internationally.

We are not looking for a career consultant.

We want someone who has worked inside a regulated financial services business, understands how controls actually operate, and can tell the difference between something that looks good on paper and something that genuinely works.

You should be comfortable moving across the full risk landscape - AML, compliance, DORA, ICT risk, governance, finance, safeguarding, outsourcing and operational risk - and able to work directly with senior management and Boards.

About Finvisor

Finvisor is an award-winning professional services firm built specifically for fintech.

We work with some of the biggest and most ambitious names in payments, e-money, crypto and financial technology across Ireland, the UK and internationally.

We were named Fintech Partner of the Year at the UK FinTech Awards 2026, received a Special Commendation at the Irish Fintech Awards 2025, and have been nominated again for the Irish Fintech Awards 2026.

We are a small, senior team. That means no layers of hierarchy and no sitting miles away from the client.

In this role, you will work directly with the Managing Director, who currently holds PCF-13 roles with several Irish fintech firms, as well as with senior risk, compliance, technology and finance professionals across Finvisor.

You will also work directly with client Boards, Audit Committees, CEOs, CROs, MLROs, Heads of Compliance and other senior stakeholders.

What You Will Be Doing

You will lead and support Internal Audit work across our growing client base, including:

• Planning and scoping Internal Audit reviews;
• Leading fieldwork and stakeholder interviews;
• Testing the design and operating effectiveness of key controls;
• Reviewing policies, procedures, governance frameworks and management information;
• Assessing whether controls are actually working in practice;
• Drafting clear and practical audit findings;
• Producing reports for senior management, Boards and Audit Committees;
• Agreeing sensible and proportionate remediation actions;
• Supporting annual and multi-year Internal Audit planning;
• Following up findings through to closure;
• Working with large datasets to identify trends, anomalies and control weaknesses;
• Using data analytics to support sampling, testing and assurance;
• Using AI and other modern audit tools to improve the efficiency and quality of planning, testing, evidence review and reporting; and
• Helping us continue to develop the Finvisor Internal Audit methodology.

The subject matter will vary considerably between clients.

You could be reviewing AML and financial crime one month, DORA and operational resilience the next, followed by safeguarding, finance, outsourcing or governance.

That variety is a big part of the role.

The Experience We Are Looking For

The key requirement is industry experience.

We are ideally looking for someone who has worked within a regulated financial services business and understands what good controls look like in the real world.

You will ideally have experience across a number of areas such as:

• AML, CTF and sanctions;
• Compliance and regulatory risk;
• DORA, ICT and cyber risk;
• Operational resilience;
• Outsourcing and third-party risk;
• Safeguarding and client money;
• Finance and accounting controls;
• Governance and risk management;
• Regulatory reporting;
• Operational and enterprise risk; and
• Data-led audit and control testing.

You do not need to be a technical specialist in every area.

You do need to be comfortable moving across different risk topics, asking the right questions and knowing when something represents a real issue.

You should also be comfortable working with large datasets, analytics tools and AI-enabled technology. We see these as increasingly important parts of modern Internal Audit, particularly where they can improve coverage, identify patterns and reduce manual testing.

An IIA qualification, CIA, CMIIA or equivalent would be a strong advantage.

Accounting, risk, technology or compliance qualifications are also welcome.

What Matters Most to Us

We are looking for someone who:

• Has strong professional judgement;
• Can challenge senior people constructively;
• Is comfortable working independently;
• Can write clearly and get to the point;
• Understands the difference between a genuine control weakness and a documentation issue;
• Is commercially aware without compromising independence;
• Is confident working with data and modern technology;
• Is curious about how AI can make audit better, without losing professional judgement;
• Is comfortable working across different types of fintech businesses; and
• Wants to help build something rather than simply inherit an established audit programme.

Why Join Finvisor?

You will get exposure that is difficult to replicate in a traditional in-house Internal Audit role.

You will work across multiple fintechs, different regulatory regimes and a wide range of risk areas.

You will work closely with senior people inside Finvisor and directly with senior management and Boards at our clients.

We are also investing heavily in how data, technology and AI can improve professional services, including the way Internal Audit work is planned, tested, evidenced and reported.

We are not interested in using AI for the sake of it. We are interested in using it where it makes the work better, faster and more insightful.

Most importantly, you will have the opportunity to help shape and grow an Internal Audit offering that is already becoming an important part of the Finvisor business.

We are a remote-first team, although there will be some in-person client meetings, Board presentations and team events.
