Role

Who you are

A bachelor's or master's degree in Accounting, Finance & Control, Auditing, or a related field
Professional accounting qualification in progress (CPA, ACCA, RA, ACA, or equivalent)
6+ years of progressive experience in internal control, reporting, or audit. Work experience in the SOX environment is a must-have. Big 4 audit experience, with tenure on audit engagements for entities listed in the US, will give you a strong advantage
Good knowledge of the COSO internal control framework, including IT general controls
Good working knowledge of IFRS, US GAAP; knowledge of local GAAPs is a plus
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain control requirements clearly to stakeholders across different business functions
Flexibility to accommodate time differences between the Netherlands, Mexico, and the US

What the job involves

Meltwater is hiring an Internal Control & Reporting Specialist to strengthen internal controls over financial reporting and support the group's statutory audit and reporting compliance across the globe
You'll join a fast-paced finance team in Amsterdam, supported by colleagues across the US, Mexico, and Europe, working on meaningful control framework improvements that directly impact audit readiness and risk management
This role offers the chance to shape Meltwater's control environment while it grows — refining our ICFR framework to make it more efficient and fit for purpose
While ICFR is the core focus, you'll also dedicate roughly 30-40% of your time to external reporting and audit activities — a well-rounded mix that keeps you close to global audits and complex accounting matters across US GAAP, IFRS, and local statutory requirements, while broadening your technical range beyond controls alone
You'll benefit from mentorship from experienced leadership and a clear path from Internal Control & Reporting Specialist to Manager to Senior Manager in a dynamic, growth-focused, AI-forward media intelligence company
Internal Controls:
Maintain and update Meltwater's risk and control matrix (RCM), ensuring risks are rated by significance and controls are appropriately classified as key or non-key, in line with the organization's business risks and objectives
Drive a risk-based approach to controls, prioritizing those that are meaningful, efficient, and aligned with the needs of the business
Partner with control owners across business functions to communicate control requirements and documentation standards
Support the design and implementation of new controls to address changes in the business environment, streamline existing controls for greater efficiency, or remediate potential control gaps
Coordinate and where necessary execute testing of internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR)
Document key business processes tied to the finance function
Identify opportunities to enhance and mature Meltwater's ICFR program
Audit and Reporting Compliance:
Play an active role in annual and interim Meltwater group audit cycles by ensuring timely, accurate, and high-quality deliverables
Assist with coordinating statutory audits across Europe, the Americas, and APAC, ensuring compliance with US GAAP, IFRS, and local GAAP
Assist with preparing complex accounting calculations and drawing conclusions on non-routine accounting matters

Our take

Meltwater's software analyzes and provides insights on posts across all major social media platforms, blogs, and news sites, allowing companies to make more informed marketing and operational decisions.

Launched in Norway in 2001 and later moving its headquarters to San Francisco, Meltwater has become a leading player in the media monitoring industry. It is an industry that is expected to double in value as the volume of data grows, making it increasingly challenging to derive meaningful insights.

Over the past two decades, Meltwater's growth has been fueled by strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses, enhancing its technology stack. Since going public in early 2021, and with major clients like Google, Ogilvy, The Economist, and Santander, Meltwater is poised to expand its operations beyond the 150 countries it currently serves.
