Full Job Description
About The Opportunity

The Chief Auditor will serve as MoonPay's internal audit executive, responsible for designing, building, and leading an independent, risk-based audit function across MoonPay. This is a rare opportunity to build a best-in-class audit capability from the ground up within a crypto-native company at the intersection of traditional finance, digital asset infrastructure, and global regulatory complexity. The Chief Auditor will provide the MoonPay Board and senior leadership with independent assurance that MoonPay's risk management, control environment, and governance frameworks are operating effectively across a multi-entity global footprint.

What You Will Do

  • Design and implement a comprehensive, risk-based global internal audit program inline with IIA International standards and best practices, updated annually and refreshed dynamically as regulatory obligations and business risks evolve.
  • Provide internal audit coverage of MoonPay's operations, including capital, supervisory controls, AML/KYC/KYT, operational, and capital adequacy obligations, and digital asset custody operations.
  • Coordinate with external auditors on regulatory audit requirements and maintain regulatory examination readiness.
  • Present findings, audit plans, and emerging risks to the Board, relevant committees, and senior management


About You

  • 10+ years of progressive internal audit experience, including significant time within regulated financial institutions and regulated trading or market infrastructure entities.
  • Hands-on experience auditing digital asset custody, crypto trading platforms, or blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
  • Deep familiarity with financial institution safety-and-soundness standards, trust and fiduciary obligations, and regulatory examination processes.
  • Experience coordinating annual regulatory audit obligations with external auditors for a licensed trading entity.
  • Active professional certification: Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) or Certified Public Accountant (CPA); [Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) also required or to be obtained within 12 months].
  • Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree (MBA, J.D., or Master's in Accounting, Finance, or related field) strongly preferred.


Bonus Points

  • Big 4 background in fintech.
  • Experience in a high-growth technology company or startup environment, demonstrating adaptability and comfort with rapid organizational change
  • Familiarity with global digital asset regimes - MiCA, FCA, MAS, or equivalent.
  • Experience with blockchain analytics tools (Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM Labs, or similar).
  • Knowledge of proof-of-reserves methodologies, stablecoins, tokenised assets, or DeFi audit considerations.


BLOCK Values

We're looking for people who live our core values, those who strive for excellence and want to leave a lasting legacy on the global financial system. Our values:

B - Be Hungry

L - Level Up

O - Own It

C - Crypto Curious

K - Kaizen

Research has shown that women are less likely than men to apply for this role if they do not have experience in 100% of these areas. Please know that this list is indicative, and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel that you are only a 75% match. Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot.
