Internal Auditor

 Location: London, UK (Hybrid: 2 days in the office)
Company: Navro – Pioneering the Future of Payments

Internal Auditor: Building Navro's First Line of Defence in FinTech

This isn’t a typical Internal Audit position. Forget legacy systems, corporate red tape, or coasting. This is about building and leading a robust, agile, and best-in-class internal audit function from the ground up, ensuring our governance and control frameworks can support our rapid global expansion. 

We’re Navro, a rapidly scaling B2B payments startup, and we’re looking for a highly experienced, organised, and self-starting Internal Auditor. This is your chance to shape our Internal Audit landscape, engage directly with the Board and regulators, and make critical decisions that safeguard the entire business. You won’t have layers of approval slowing you down. You will have the freedom to make real, impactful decisions from day one. This isn’t a passenger role. We’re bringing you in for your deep expertise, your commercial acumen, and your relentless drive to build and uphold the highest standards of governance.

Who We Are

We are transforming payments for global platforms and e-commerce businesses. As the world’s first payments curation platform, we simplify cross-border transactions by uniting best-in-class infrastructure into a seamless ecosystem, enabling businesses to scale and operate effortlessly across borders. Cross-border workforce payments are slow, expensive, and outdated. We can’t be. Businesses rely on us to pay their people accurately and on time - contractors, freelancers, and employees across the globe. When we say we’ll deliver, failure isn’t an option. If we don’t do what we said we would, people don’t get paid - not just a transaction delayed, but real workers left without wages. That means a developer in Argentina missing their paycheck, a freelancer in the Philippines unable to pay rent, or a contractor in Poland unable to get to work. No excuses. No passengers. No tolerance for politics or mediocrity.

The Role

As the Internal Auditor, you will be a cornerstone of our governance structure, reporting directly to the Audit Committee. You will be responsible for helping to build and lead the entire internal audit function, providing independent and objective assurance This is a highly visible, strategic role that requires a hands-on approach to both planning and execution. Ideally the candidate will have knowledge and experience of the European regulatory framework and the PCF approval process with the Central Bank of Ireland(CBI).
