Mistral is building full-stack AI solutions—from frontier models to developer tools and applications—serving enterprises in finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector. As Director of Internal Control reporting to the SVP Finance, you will establish Mistral's internal control function from the ground up, ensuring financial integrity and compliance as the company scales globally across 15+ subsidiaries.
You will design and deploy a COSO-aligned internal control framework covering financial, operational, and compliance domains. Key responsibilities include integrating controls into critical workflows such as procurement, payroll, cash management, and subsidiary oversight. You will collaborate closely with Legal, CISO, Engineering, and business units to build a company-wide risk matrix and define remediation protocols for high-risk areas.
You will leverage ERP systems and AI/ML tools to automate and optimize controls, enabling real-time monitoring and proactive risk mitigation. You will coordinate external audits to ensure readiness for regulatory reviews and investor due diligence, maintaining comprehensive control documentation and escalating gaps to leadership.
As a people leader, you will build and manage a high-impact internal control team, fostering a culture of accountability and proactive problem-solving. This role requires strong expertise in COSO frameworks, risk identification, and process design with a pragmatic, hands-on approach. You should have experience building a control function from scratch or playing a key role in a growing internal control team, ideally in tech, scale-ups, or highly regulated environments.
You will need excellent collaborative and influential communication skills to translate complex risks into actionable solutions for non-finance stakeholders. A tech-savvy mindset is essential—familiarity with ERP systems, data-driven tools (Python/SQL), or AI-driven automation is highly valued. Fluency in English is required to work across global entities; French is a plus.
