Role Summary

Support Bybit EU's Internal Audit function as a senior audit professional responsible for planning and executing audit engagements across European operations. You will deliver high-quality audit work, drive project execution, and contribute to the continuous improvement of the audit framework under the direction of the Head of Internal Audit (EU).
This is a hands-on execution role — you will personally conduct audit fieldwork, produce deliverables, and manage individual audit projects end-to-end. The position reports to the Head of Internal Audit (EU) and works closely with external consultants, co-sourcing partners, regulators, and the Global IA team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan and execute risk-based internal audits end-to-end across finance, operations, compliance, IT, and cybersecurity — owning individual engagements from scoping through to report issuance.
  • Support the Head of IA in developing and maintaining the internal audit framework and annual audit plan for Bybit EU.
  • Collaborate with the Global Internal Audit team to align with group standards, methodologies, and best practices; contribute to global audit projects as needed.
  • Support the transition from outsourced audits to in-house capability — coordinate with co-sourcing partners on project delivery, review their work products for quality, and flag gaps to the Head of IA.
  • Assess and monitor adherence to Austrian and EU regulatory requirements, ensuring early identification and remediation of control weaknesses.
  • Perform detailed, ground-level audit work where required — including walkthroughs, testing, and issue validation — to ensure audit depth and accuracy.
  • Prepare clear, well-structured audit reports — documenting findings, root causes, and remediation recommendations — and present results to the Head of IA and relevant stakeholders.
  • Stay current on regulatory developments (MiCA, MiFID II, GDPR, AMLD, DORA, and EMI frameworks) and emerging crypto/fintech risks — proactively flagging implications for the audit plan.
  • Coordinate and track remediation of findings to ensure timely and effective resolution.
  • Work cross-functionally with Compliance, Risk, Finance, Operations, IT, and Product teams to strengthen the overall control environment.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement in audit processes — leveraging data analytics (SQL, Python, AI tools) and proposing efficiency gains.

Required Qualifications & Skills

  • 7–10 years of experience in internal audit or related risk/control functions within financial services, fintech, or crypto.
  • Strong and up-to-date knowledge of Austrian and EU regulatory frameworks.
  • Hands-on approach: able to perform audits personally when needed and comfortable “rolling up sleeves.”
  • Professional certifications (CIA, CISA, CAMS, ICA, etc.) are required, reflecting a solid technical foundation in audit and compliance.
  • Excellent written and spoken German and English for effective communication with regulators and senior stakeholders.
  • Outstanding project management skills, capable of managing multiple audits and deadlines concurrently.
  • Strong presentation and communication abilities, with experience reporting findings and recommendations to senior management.
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a global organization structure with cross-regional stakeholders.
  • Adaptable, self-driven, and comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment with changing priorities.
  • Knowledge of Web3 and crypto ecosystems is a strong plus

Tokenized Fund Collateral Could Be A Game Changer For Franklin Templeton Stock

Tokenized Fund Collateral Could Be A Game Changer For Franklin Templeton Stock

Franklin Templeton has expanded its digital asset strategy through a new partnership with the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, allowing the use of tokenized fund collateral. This collaboration integrates Franklin Templeton’s Benji tokenized money market fund directly into an active trading venue, marking a shift from simple wallet listings to operational on-chain collateral management. While the firm currently manages approximately $3.2 billion in digital asset AUM, this initiative serves as a test for the scalability of digital rails in lowering distribution costs. The move is viewed as a strategic experiment to determine if tokenized assets can effectively serve as margin collateral within high-frequency trading environments. Despite the innovation, analysts suggest the immediate impact on Franklin Templeton’s earnings remains limited compared to broader pressures on fees and net flows. Success hinges on the firm's ability to maintain rigorous risk control and custody standards via ByCustody while scaling its tokenized product suite. Ultimately, the initiative highlights the ongoing institutional effort to bridge traditional financial products with decentralized trading infrastructure.

Next Shiba Inu Search Heats Up as Franklin Templeton Puts $686M On-Chain and Pepeto Goes Live

Franklin Templeton has expanded its institutional crypto integration by enabling $686 million in tokenized money market fund shares to be used as trading collateral on the Bybit exchange. This initiative, launched on September 28, allows investors to pledge tokenized fund shares via ByCustody while continuing to earn yield on their underlying assets. By integrating these shares into major exchanges like Bybit, Binance, and OKX, the $1.83 trillion asset manager is bridging traditional finance with digital asset liquidity. This development signifies a shift where institutional capital seeks to maintain core holdings while gaining exposure to crypto markets without liquidating positions. While the article contrasts this institutional progress with speculative retail tokens, the core event highlights the growing utility of tokenized U.S. Treasury-backed funds in decentralized finance. The ability to use regulated, yield-bearing assets as collateral on centralized exchanges marks a maturing phase for the RWA sector. This trend underscores how traditional financial giants are increasingly treating blockchain rails as standard infrastructure for capital efficiency.

Crypto-friendly institution Franklin Templeton brings its tokenized collateral service to Bybit

Franklin Templeton has expanded its off-exchange collateral program to the Bybit exchange, enabling users to utilize shares of its tokenized money market fund as collateral for crypto trading. This integration allows investors to borrow stablecoins like USDT and USDC while continuing to earn yield on their underlying assets, which currently represent approximately $686 million in net assets. The mechanism relies on ByCustody to hold the assets off-exchange, while the value is mirrored within the Bybit trading environment to unlock liquidity without requiring asset movement. This development marks another milestone in Franklin Templeton's strategy to integrate its Benji-issued tokenized funds across major crypto exchanges, following similar partnerships with Binance and OKX. By allowing investors to optimize collateral usage while maintaining yield exposure, the firm aims to bridge traditional asset management with the crypto ecosystem. This trend reflects a broader industry shift toward using regulated, tokenized money market funds as high-quality collateral for derivatives and spot trading. The initiative highlights the growing utility of blockchain-integrated record-keeping platforms in professionalizing crypto market infrastructure.
