About Cortea

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.

The Role

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. Colleagues own the sales playbook, forecasting, and deal mechanics, while you own trust, expertise, and account growth.

Key Responsibilities

Audit Expertise in GTM: 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

Customer Relationships & Growth: 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

Industry Voice: Build a visible public presence for Cortea: be active on LinkedIn, speak at industry events, and evangelise AI-supported auditing to the UK profession

Market Insight: Feed customer and market insight back to our product team to sharpen the UK roadmap

Berlin Collaboration: Travel regularly to our Berlin hub to work closely with the founders and GTM colleagues
