Senior Specialist, Assurance and Audit Coordination

As a Senior Specialist, 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, TPRM, 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 partnering with control-testing teams to coordinate the reuse of relevant evidence and 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.
• Proven track record of managing competing deadlines, handling sensitive information with sound judgement, and confidently following up with cross-functional stakeholders to drive action.
• 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, with the ability to maintain highly reliable records and response trackers.
