Role Summary

Support Bybit EU's Internal Audit function as a senior audit professional responsible for planning and executing audit engagements across European operations. You will deliver high-quality audit work, drive project execution, and contribute to the continuous improvement of the audit framework under the direction of the Head of Internal Audit (EU).

This is a hands-on execution role — you will personally conduct audit fieldwork, produce deliverables, and manage individual audit projects end-to-end. The position reports to the Head of Internal Audit (EU) and works closely with external consultants, co-sourcing partners, regulators, and the Global IA team.

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.

Required Qualifications & Skills

7–10 years of experience in internal audit or related risk/control functions within financial services, fintech, or crypto.
Strong and up-to-date knowledge of Austrian and EU regulatory frameworks.
Hands-on approach: able to perform audits personally when needed and comfortable “rolling up sleeves.”
Professional certifications (CIA, CISA, CAMS, ICA, etc.) are required, reflecting a solid technical foundation in audit and compliance.
Excellent written and spoken German and English for effective communication with regulators and senior stakeholders.
Outstanding project management skills, capable of managing multiple audits and deadlines concurrently.
Strong presentation and communication abilities, with experience reporting findings and recommendations to senior management.
Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a global organization structure with cross-regional stakeholders.
Adaptable, self-driven, and comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment with changing priorities.
Knowledge of Web3 and crypto ecosystems is a strong plus
