We're a product-first team on a mission to help grow the cybersecurity culture 🔐

We want to instill cybersecurity good practices to employees in a way that's actually effective, and entertaining enough so that employees don't feel like they're working. Think Duolingo but for cybersecurity.

We created a platform to easily rollout a cybersecurity awareness program: the platform sends chat-based 4-minutes long courses to teams. Following the courses, the other side of the platform simulates phishing attacks, to prepare employees to face hackers, but in a safe environment.

Created in 2020, Riot has raised $45m with top-notch investors (Y Combinator, Base10, Funders Club and Frst Capital), and is now protecting more than 2,000,000 employees in over 2,000 companies (including Intercom, Deel and Deezer) all over the world.

Cybersecurity is everywhere. It's impacting everyone, everyday, and it's becoming the number one risk to any organization, whether it's a small business or a big firm. Yet, the cybersecurity culture in most companies is a disaster. Hackers are leveraging this by targeting the weakest link: the employees. We're on a mission to fix that.

You will join the Finance team as a Finance & Strategy Intern, reinforcing the Finance function and supporting the team on a wide range of strategic and operational topics driven by Riot’s strong growth momentum.

You will work closely with Sylvia, our VP Finance, and gain hands-on exposure to key financial decision-making.

Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting, with direct exposure to how a high-growth SaaS company plans and tracks performance.

Build and maintain financial models for planning, scenario analysis, and strategic decisions, including models tied to revenue, hiring, and capital allocation.

Track and analyze SaaS KPIs, surface trends and variances, and help translate financial performance into clear narratives for leadership and investors.

Partner with teams across the business to improve spending visibility, ROI tracking, and growth metric reporting.

Help build and improve Finance tools and dashboards, maintain data quality, and run ad hoc analyses to support fast decision-making.

About to graduate from a Master’s degree in finance in a top-tier business/engineering school.

You are available to start this 6-month internship starting in July or September 2026.

Internship experiences in Finance, ideally investment banking, corporate finance or FP&A.

Prior experience building financial models in an operational or corporate finance context from scratch with ambiguous inputs.

Proactive, self-starter attitude: you want to learn, take initiative, and drive results.

You know how to work in a fast paced environment and can prioritize.

Proficient in Excel/Google Sheets and comfortable working with large data sets.

Familiarity with AI and SQL or demonstrated willingness to learn.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills, comfortable working with both financial and non-financial stakeholders.

Join a healthy-financial company: we're financially strong and highly capital-efficient. Fundraising fuels our momentum, enabling us to scale faster and unlock new growth opportunities.

Contribute to a fast-growing startup with a strong vision and high ambitions, backed by clear business goals. We've tripled our revenue over the past three years, and we plan to grow from €20M to €40M ARR in 2026.
