Role Summary

Lead and own Bybit EU's Internal Audit function as the most senior audit professional in the European entity. You will be responsible for establishing strategic audit direction, building and managing the EU audit team, and providing independent assurance to the Board on the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal controls.

This is a strategic leadership role — you will set the audit vision, engage directly with regulators and the Board, and drive the maturation of the audit function from its current state toward a fully scaled in-house capability. You will also maintain hands-on involvement in key audit engagements where warranted.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership & Governance

• Define and execute the multi-year internal audit strategy for Bybit EU, aligned with the entity's risk profile, regulatory obligations, and business growth trajectory.

• Serve as the primary audit representative to the Board / Audit Committee, providing independent assurance opinions and strategic counsel on emerging risks.

• Maintain the local Internal Audit Charter, policies, and quality assurance framework in accordance with IIA Standards and local regulatory expectations.

• Build, lead, and develop the EU internal audit team — setting culture, hiring, coaching, and performance management.

Audit Execution & Methodology

• Plan and deliver a risk-based annual audit plan covering finance, operations, compliance, IT, cybersecurity, and business-specific processes (trading, custody, listing, AML/CFT).

• Align with the Global Internal Audit function on group-wide methodologies, tooling, and combined assurance approaches while adapting to EU-specific requirements.

• Lead the transition from outsourced/co-sourced audit arrangements to a scalable in-house capability. During the transition period, coordinate closely with co-sourcing partners — overseeing the quality of their deliverables (both breadth and depth of coverage), managing the relationship, and controlling the audit budget.

• Conduct and supervise detailed audit work — walkthroughs, control testing, data analytics, root cause analysis — ensuring audit depth and quality.

• Prepare and present audit reports with clear findings, risk ratings, root causes, and actionable remediation plans to the Board, senior management, and regulators.

Regulatory & Stakeholder Engagement

• Serve as the primary point of contact for regulatory audit inquiries (FMA, ECB/SSM where applicable) and coordinate regulatory examination support.

• Monitor and anticipate evolving EU regulatory developments (MiCA, MiFID II, DORA, AMLD6, EMD2, GDPR, NIS2) — proactively adjusting audit coverage and methodology. <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusRtZhLMMx74SYIZeXcBi4NJ" data-list="b
