About the role
- Build and evolve the audit & exam framework by co-designing and maintaining a multi-year audit and exam strategy, along with the playbooks, templates, and tools that govern how Paxos plans, executes, and closes every engagement.

- Lead day-to-day management of audits and exams, including end-to-end delivery of internal audits and regulatory exams, maintaining a real-time portfolio view of all engagements, and proactively surfacing dependencies and resourcing needs.
- Drive high-quality execution and remediation by enforcing high evidence and documentation standards, tracking issues and action plans, and ensuring durable remediations are implemented in daily operations.
- Shape narratives and communicate impact by synthesizing engagement results into concise, executive-ready updates and using insights to strengthen the risk and control framework and influence key business decisions.
- Continuously improve how we work by running post-engagement retrospectives, converting learnings into process, tooling, and training changes, and fostering a culture of continuous audit and exam readiness.

- 5+ years of experience in internal audit, risk, compliance, or regulatory assurance within financial services or a similarly regulated environment, including meaningful exposure to working with regulators (e.g., OCC, Fed) and familiarity with audit and control frameworks (e.g., SOC 1/SOC 2) and the three-lines-of-defense model.
- Possesses a "builder mindset" to innovate and significantly upgrade processes, tools, or programs within a regulated environment, balancing creativity with strict regulatory discipline.
