The Role Are you looking to grow your business and auditing skills, deepen your knowledge of financial services, and solve complex problems at the nexus of technology and finance?

• Align audit objectives to strategy, deliver impactful outcomes, and contribute to domain and department initiatives.
• Partner with business and technology leaders to understand complex functions across custody, trading, operations, and supporting platforms.
• Review end-to-end process maps and technology workflows (including wallet operations and key-control touchpoints) to ensure risks and controls are comprehensively captured.
• Ensure project scopes focus on the highest-risk areas and include thoughtful test suites to identify control gaps and improvement opportunities—covering on-/off-chain reconciliations, access/IAM, change management, incident response, and third-party/VASP risk where applicable.
• Collaborate with the Team Leader to prioritize workload and resources; anticipate and resolve blockers to progress.
• Perform and review audit test work, including data analysis, control testing, and clear documentation of results; where appropriate, use data analytics and blockchain tools/explorers to enhance coverage.
• Leverage audit automation tools and analytics to increase efficiency and precision in evaluating operations and systems.
• Review audit reports to ensure issues and management action plans are clearly described with business/enterprise implications.
• Lead discussions with business/technology management to communicate findings and influence pragmatic, sustainable remediation.
• Coach and mentor associates of all levels on audit execution, digital-asset concepts, and stakeholder engagement.
• Build strong, trust-based relationships with audit teams and business partners; act as a credible challenger while enabling responsible innovation.

• 7-10 years of external and/or internal audit or related risk/control experience.
• Experience within the digital asset/cryptocurrency ecosystem (e.g., custodians, exchanges, blockchain-based financial services).
• Working knowledge of digital-asset lifecycle risks, including wallet operations and key management (e.g., segregation of duties, dual control; awareness of HSM/MPC/multisig concepts), custody models, and on-/off-chain transaction flows and reconciliations.
• Ability to manage multiple engagements and lead team priorities and workload.
• In-depth knowledge of audit practices, tools, techniques, concepts, and trends (including ICFR/SOX and third-party/SOC 1/SOC 2 considerations).
• Team-oriented leader who collaborates constructively to achieve goals and provide thought leadership.
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and critical-thinking skills.
• Commitment to an innovative, collaborative, and digital working style.
• Excellent presentation, written, and interpersonal communication skills.
