You won't audit, you'll build what auditors use. We're looking for an experienced auditor who wants to switch sides: instead of working through audits, you'll shape the product that solves the real problems of the audit industry - with a real say in what we build next. Join an ambitious, international team and actively shape the future of dnl as well as the profession.
About dnl
dnl is a fast-growing AI startup building AI-first solutions for auditing. Our software automates disclosure checklists and other document-heavy audit work for audit firms and corporate clients, so professionals can spend their time on judgment instead of manual checking. Our mission: transform auditing through AI and help auditors work smarter than ever before.
The role
You bring many years of audit experience and use it to expand our platform conceptually. You co-decide which audit problems we solve next, design how our platform addresses them, and grow the value dnl contributes to every engagement. This role is for auditors, not career product managers: audit experience is required, product management experience is not.
You know first-hand where audits lose time, where risks are missed and which workarounds teams rely on. You don't need to code. You need to think in structured processes and want to build the tools you always wished you had. You work closely with our engineering and AI team, our customers and the management team.
Tasks
Identify the biggest pain points across the audit process - from planning to reporting – and turn them into new product areas beyond the current setup
Develop concepts for how our platform expands its coverage and grows its contribution to each audit engagement
Co-decide our product roadmap with the management team and engineering: validate problems with audit firms, prioritise what we build next and specify the audit logic behind it - including what "correct" looks like
Translate accounting and auditing standards (IFRS, HGB, ISA, IDW PS) into clear, software-executable logic, decision trees and workflows
Design review and control mechanisms that keep the auditor in charge - transparency, traceability and professional skepticism instead of blind reliance on AI
Make sure our results fit cleanly into audit working papers and firm methodologies
Work hands-on with engineering and AI to test outputs, evaluate quality and ship improvements fast
Be the voice of the auditor in the company and represent dnl with customers, at industry events and in regulatory discussions
Requirements
Must haves
6+ years in financial statement audit, ideally at a Big 4 or leading mid-market firm, up to (senior) audit manager level
A solid understanding of engagement responsibility and liability risk - you know what it takes to sign off
Strong command of IFRS and/or HGB as well as ISA and IDW PS, and the ability to turn standards into reproducible processes
Structured, analytical thinking: you can sketch a decision tree and define the right outcome for edge cases
The ability to explain complex topics simply to engineers, customers and decision-makers
Hands-on experience with AI tools
Motivation to reshape the profession, not just to take the next career step
Native or near-native English - German is a plus
You are Europe-based
Nice to have
Experience in product management, audit methodology or audit tooling/digitisation projects
WP/CPA/ACA qualification or working towards one
Benefits
Creative freedom: You will be given ownership from day one in a team with flat hierarchies and short decision-making paths. You will have the opportunity to actively shape the development and scaling of the company.
First-class team: International and motivated team. Despite many different locations, regular (online) team events take place to celebrate our joint successes.
Development opportunities: You have the opportunity to start your career in a fast-growing company as well as in Enterprise SaaS Sales, quickly climbing the first steps on the career ladder.
Remote Work: We encourage flexibility by allowing you to work 100 % from home from anywhere within Europe.
Attractive conditions: 30 days' vacation, attractive salary package, a monthly voucher and regular online and offline team events.
Apply now and help shape the future of our company!
We look forward to receiving your application.
