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.
