Job description

About MoonPay

Hi, we're MoonPay. We're here to onboard the world to the decentralized economy by making digital money move as universally and effortlessly as the internet.

Why?

Because crypto, stablecoins and blockchain aren't just technologies. They're tools for global financial empowerment. They give people and businesses more control over their money, their digital assets, and their future, opening access to legacy financial systems that have been out of reach for many.

What we do
MoonPay is a unified payments platform for digital currency. We make it easy for anyone, anywhere, to buy, sell, swap and pay in digital currencies as easy as sending an email. That simplicity is intentional, our focus is reducing complexity so people can participate confidently, without needing to be crypto experts. We power the entire flow between fiat and crypto end to end, with compliance, identity checks, fraud prevention, and settlement all built in. This end-to-end approach reflects how we work internally: with accountability, rigor, and trust built into everything we ship.

Proven at scale

Trusted by over 30 million customers and over 500 ecosystem partners, our secure, enterprise-grade platform is driving mainstream crypto adoption worldwide. Behind those numbers are millions of real people and organizations relying on MoonPay every day.

We collaborate with innovative brands and projects to build secure, scalable solutions for a blockchain-powered future. This is an opportunity to help shape systems, not just scale them. And we're committed to doing it right. Fully licensed in the U.S. and regulated across the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia, because trust and compliance are non-negotiable.

But we're just getting started. We've launched a consumer app that makes crypto accessible, intuitive, and usable for everyone, and it's growing fast. We're iterating every day to make it the best it can be.

If you believe financial freedom should be for everyone. If you believe in building a fairer, more open financial system - we want you with us. To build systems that benefit all, we need contributions from all, regardless of background.

Come build the future of payments and the decentralized economy with MoonPay. Let's make financial freedom and autonomy the new normal.

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.

  • 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.
