• Own and coordinate a portfolio of operational, financial, and compliance audits covering financial controls, regulatory compliance, business processes, vendor/third-party risk, and data governance in accordance with CSSF, CBL, ECB, EBA, and ESMA requirements.
• Shape the multi-year operational and compliance audit roadmap, coordinating coverage with co-sourced partners and aligning with enterprise risk initiatives and European regulatory frameworks (MiCA, PSD2, AMLD, DORA).

• 8+ years in internal audit, external audit, or compliance audit in a regulated financial services environment, with demonstrated experience managing audit teams, concurrent audit portfolios, and co-sourced engagements across EMEA/APAC time zones.
• Deep working knowledge of European and Luxembourg regulatory frameworks (CSSF, CBL, ECB, EBA, ESMA) with proven experience executing audits within these regimes.
• Hands-on audit execution experience across financial controls, operational processes, compliance requirements, data governance, and control certifications using COSO, COBIT, SOC 2, or ISO 27001 frameworks.
