Director of Accounting & Reporting

About us

N26 is Europe’s leading digital bank. With a full German banking license and a presence in over 20 markets, we have moved past the "disruptor" phase and are entering a period of institutional maturity.

Our strategy is clear: we want to be the primary account for our customers. To achieve this, we are expanding far beyond basic transactions into a holistic financial ecosystem, including our recent launch of N26 for under 18s, bringing families into our digital-first world. This evolution requires a new level of robustness and scalability. We are sharpening how we build, ship, and sustain products at scale, ensuring our core is as reliable as it is innovative.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to walk into a finished house; it’s for a leader who can navigate extreme ambiguity, make high-stakes decisions with incomplete information, and maintain unwavering resilience while building the engine of a global bank.
