You'll run real controls from day one, interviewing engineers, reviewing processes, tracking remediations, all under the guidance of Charlotte, responsible of Internal Control (Tech & Product). ➡️ What you'll do Own monthly tech controls end-to-end: Each month you'll be assigned controls covering access management, change management, security processes, and cybersecurity topics — and take them from stakeholder interview to final report. Interview control owners across the tech org: You'll meet with Security, Data, Backend, and SRE teams to assess how processes actually work vs. how they're supposed to. Formalize your findings into sharp, actionable reports: You'll synthesize what you've collected into clear, structured control documentation that surfaces the key risks and next steps. Track remediations until they're closed: When you identify a gap, you own the follow-up — making sure agreed fixes happen on time, every time. Use AI to move faster and understand more: You'll leverage AI tools to accelerate documentation, analysis, and understanding of technical processes you've never seen before. ➡️ What we're looking for You communicate clearly, even with technical audiences: You know how to walk into a meeting with a senior engineer, build credibility quickly, and ask the questions that actually matter. You can turn complexity into clarity: You produce structured documents that lead with the key findings — not a dump of everything you heard. You're genuinely curious: When you hit an unfamiliar domain (access control, security processes, code behavior), your first instinct is to dig in and understand the "why." You think structurally: You can separate what you observed from what it means, and you propose practical solutions rather than just flagging issues. You're in M1 or M2 of Information Systems Management, IS Audit, or Engineering: English is required; French is a plus. ➡️ What we can offer you Work at the heart of Qonto's most important transformation: We're becoming a fully licensed bank, and this team is directly responsible for making that happen safely and compliantly. Cross-functional exposure across the entire tech org: You'll work with Security, Data, Backend, and SRE — seeing how a fast-scaling fintech actually operates from the inside. Real ownership, not shadowing: Charlotte gives you the work, the tools, and the context — then trusts you to deliver independently. A mentor who's been exactly where you are: Charlotte built her career from Information Systems Management and knows exactly what you need to develop in this space. ➡️ Your future manager You'll be working with Charlotte Guilbaud, responsible of Internal Control (Tech & Product). Charlotte came up through Information Systems Management herself, which means she knows exactly where you're starting from. Her approach is to give you the context, the stakeholders, and the tools, then trust you to own your work. Expect real autonomy, weekly 1:1s to check in on your controls and development, and a mentor who's invested in your growth, not just the deliverables.
