Senior Specialist, Assurance and Audit Coordination

As a Senior Specialist in Assurance and Audit Coordination at Bitpanda, you drive the day-to-day coordination of complex audits, examinations, and remediation tracking across Information Security, ICT risk, third-party risk management, and operational resilience. You manage the end-to-end lifecycle of evidence collection, ensuring every request, decision, and finding remains perfectly traceable and audit-ready. By supporting domain owners and executing a highly controlled intake process, you ensure leadership has timely, accurate information for critical decisions and risk escalation.

What you'll do

• Operate the daily intake process for new engagements and evidence requests, coordinating directly with domain and control owners to collect, organize, and quality-check evidence for completeness and version control against agreed internal deadlines
• Maintain the centralized audit calendar, engagement register, and findings inventory, ensuring precise tracking of scope, owners, requests, dependencies, and current status across all regulatory and internal assurance activities
• Prepare high-quality evidence packs, response trackers, meeting agendas, action logs, and status reporting, ensuring all submissions to auditors, regulators, and management are accurate, secure, and properly approved by domain owners
• Track remediation plans and final closure evidence, identifying overdue or incomplete actions early, and partner with control-testing teams to coordinate the reuse of relevant evidence and proactively escalate delivery risks to the Audit Management Lead
• Administer the agreed workflow within existing GRC, ticketing, and collaboration tools, consistently applying the audit-governance process while identifying safe opportunities to automate repetitive administrative work and reduce avoidable evidence rework

What you bring

• 4-7 years of relevant experience in audit coordination, technology risk, information security GRC, regulatory compliance, control assurance, or structured programme management
• A proven track record of managing competing deadlines, handling sensitive information with sound judgement, and confidently following up with cross-functional stakeholders to drive action
• A strong understanding of audit evidence standards, control documentation, and the findings management lifecycle within a regulated environment
• Excellent organization, attention to detail, and written communication in professional English (German is beneficial), with the ability to maintain highly reliable records and response trackers
