Job description

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 leading investors (Y Combinator, Left Lane, Base10, Funders Club and First 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.

About the role

We’re hiring a FP&A Analyst Intern to report to our CFO and work directly with our FP&A Analyst.

This is not a support internship. This role offers a unique opportunity to get a great overview of key strategic topics across multiple facets of the business, working at the intersection of revenue and operations. You will help decision makers shape the future of Riot by providing key financial reporting.

This position is open for end-of-study interns based in Paris. 6-month internship, starting January 2027.

What you will do

• Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting processes to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
• Assist in building and updating financial models to support planning, scenario analysis, and strategic decisions.
• Monitor KPIs, analyze financial performance, and help communicate key trends and variances to leadership.
• Partner with teams across the business to improve spending visibility, ROI tracking, and growth metric reporting.
• Contribute to the development of FP&A tools and dashboards, maintain data accuracy, and conduct ad hoc analyses.

Who you are

• Final-year student from a top business or engineering school, you are looking for an internship starting in January 2027.
• You have strong analytical skills and you are comfortable with financial modeling, market sizing, business case development.
• Excellent communicator, written and verbal. You are used to working across functions.
• You don’t need to be an expert on cybersecurity, but you need to be motivated by the mission.
• You speak French and English fluently.
• You are based in Paris or willing to relocate. This is an on-site position with up to 2 days per month of remote work.

It will be a cultural fit if

• You’re a doer: not afraid to get your hands dirty and get things done
• You have high standards: expect performance to be nothing short of the best
• You are enthusiastic at heart: exhibit passion and excitement over work

Why join us at Riot

• Direct exposure to our FP&A Analyst’s & CFO’s challenges from day one and contribute directly to the projects that shape Riot’s trajectory.
• Join a financially-healthy company: we’re strong and capital-efficient.
• Contribute to a fast-growing startup with a strong vision and high ambitions, backed by clear business goals. We’ve tripled revenue over the past two years and are scaling from $20M to $40M ARR in 2026.
