About the company
We're Cortea, a European audit-tech company, born in Berlin, rebuilding how audits are done everywhere. Audits are still driven by spreadsheets, checklists, and manual reviews in one of the most regulated, high-stakes areas of business. We use AI to automate audits end to end, so highly educated auditors no longer spend 60+ hour weeks on manual work and can focus on judgment, trust, and choices that matter. With €15m+ in funding, a live product, and paying customers across Europe, we're at a stage where your choices will directly shape Cortea's future, and how audits are done.
Responsibilities
- Act as the audit subject-matter expert in Cortea's UK go-to-market unit, joining demos, pilots, and customer conversations as the credible auditor in the room
- Be a key point of contact for our UK customers throughout pilots and rollouts; deepen relationships at existing customers, identify upsell opportunities, and lead methodology conversations that grow accounts
- Build a visible public presence for Cortea: be active on LinkedIn, speak at industry events, and evangelise AI-supported auditing to the UK profession
- Feed customer and market insight back to our product team to sharpen the UK roadmap
- Travel regularly to our Berlin hub to work closely with the founders and GTM colleagues
Requirements
- Minimum 5 years of financial audit experience (Big 4 or leading mid-tier firms preferred)

- A confident, client-facing communicator: you enjoy presenting, networking, and representing your firm publicly, including at events and on LinkedIn
- Comfortable taking ownership in a young, fast-moving company: you handle ambiguity well, work towards clear commercial targets, and enjoy building processes rather than following established ones
- Strong grasp of ISA, UK GAAP, IFRS, and the Companies Act 2006, enough to hold your own in methodology discussions with partners
- Native in English, German is a plus
- Right to work in the UK required; we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role
