Financial Auditor – GTM & Customer Growth

<h1><strong>About Cortea</strong></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">We're Cortea, a European audit-tech company, born in Berlin, rebuilding how audits are done everywhere.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">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.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">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.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h1><strong>The Role</strong></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">This is a role for an experienced auditor who enjoys the client side of the profession: building relationships, leading discussions, and earning the trust of sceptical practitioners. As part of Cortea's UK go-to-market team, you are the subject-matter expert who gives our commercial work credibility: you speak with auditors as a peer, lead methodology conversations with prospects and customers, and help turn pilots into long-term partnerships.
