Job description

About MoonPay

MoonPay is for builders with something to prove.

This isn't a "work on cool crypto stuff" company. It's a high-standards, high-velocity, high-accountability company building the operating system for value movement. If the internet moves information, we move value: crypto, stablecoins, tokenized assets, and whatever comes next. Four offerings make that real: fund, tokenize, trade, and spend. 30M+ customers and 500+ ecosystem partners run on us. Licensed in the U.S. Regulated across the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia.

AI is the default operating mode here. It's woven into every role, and we expect you to use it daily. It handles the manual work so you can deliver on what actually matters.

You'll thrive here if outcomes excite you more than process, if impact motivates you more than titles, and if you want hard problems, real ownership, and teammates who love winning, building, and doing it together.

The bar is high. The pace is real. We're building for what's next, for humans and agents. Recent recognition:

Forbes' America's Best Startup Employers 2026 . 2nd in Crypto Services on Fortune's inaugural Crypto 100 The Sunday Times Best Places to Work two years running 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 learned, diversity cannot.

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.
