About Us

Role Summary

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and execute risk-based internal audits end-to-end across finance, operations, compliance, IT, and cybersecurity — owning individual engagements from scoping through to report issuance.
• Support the Head of IA in developing and maintaining the internal audit framework and annual audit plan for Bybit EU.
• Collaborate with the Global Internal Audit team to align with group standards, methodologies, and best practices; contribute to global audit projects as needed.
• Support the transition from outsourced audits to in-house capability — coordinate with co-sourcing partners on project delivery, review their work products for quality, and flag gaps to the Head of IA.
• Assess and monitor adherence to Austrian and EU regulatory requirements, ensuring early identification and remediation of control weaknesses.
• Perform detailed, ground-level audit work where required — including walkthroughs, testing, and issue validation — to ensure audit depth and accuracy.
• Prepare clear, well-structured audit reports — documenting findings, root causes, and remediation recommendations — and present results to the Head of IA and relevant stakeholders.
• Stay current on regulatory developments (MiCA, MiFID II, GDPR, AMLD, DORA, and EMI frameworks) and emerging crypto/fintech risks — proactively flagging implications for the audit plan.
• Coordinate and track remediation of findings to ensure timely and effective resolution.
• Work cross-functionally with Compliance, Risk, Finance, Operations, IT, and Product teams to strengthen the overall control environment.
• Contribute to continuous improvement in audit processes — leveraging data analytics (SQL, Python, AI tools) and proposing efficiency gains.
