Internal Auditor - Regulatory Compliance

Ready to Get Shit Done?

At bunq, we're not just building a banking app, we are reshaping how people experience financial freedom globally. To sustain that mission while protecting our users and our business, we need an Internal Auditor focused on Regulatory Compliance to ensure we meet every regulatory requirement, manage compliance risks, and keep our operations audit-ready at all times.

As an Internal Auditor - Regulatory Compliance, your mission is to safeguard bunq's regulatory standing by identifying and mitigating compliance gaps, ensuring adherence to evolving regulations across all markets we operate in, and building the audit infrastructure that keeps our business resilient.

Take Ownership

As an Internal Auditor - Regulatory Compliance, you will own:

• Conduct compliance audits across all business lines (AML, KYC, data protection, market conduct) and identify gaps with concrete remediation recommendations.

• Build and execute the audit roadmap, prioritizing high-risk regulatory domains and ensuring systematic coverage across our markets.

• Drive remediation tracking with business teams, ensuring findings are addressed and root causes fixed, not just symptoms.

What You'll Work on Right Away

1. Compliance Audit Program: Design and execute the first multi-domain compliance audit program, covering AML/KYC, data protection, market conduct, and operational risk, delivering findings and a forward remediation roadmap.

2. High-Risk Compliance Assessment: Conduct a deep-dive audit into bunq's highest-risk regulatory areas (likely payment services directives, data governance, or market-specific regulations depending on your markets), identifying systemic gaps and building a remediation plan.

3. Regulatory Change Impact Assessment: Analyze recently enacted or upcoming regulations across our markets and assess operational readiness, working with stakeholders to ensure bunq remains compliant before enforcement deadlines.

Do You Have What It Takes?

• Regulatory audit expertise: Proven experience auditing AML/KYC, data protection (GDPR/similar), or market conduct in financial services/fintech.

• Audit methodology: Risk-based audit planning, workpaper development, sampling techniques, and presenting findings to executives and regulators.

• Regulatory knowledge: You understand banking regulators, interpret guidance, and can navigate regulatory inquiries or examinations.

• Communication: Translate complex regulations into clear actions for business teams; credible voice with regulators and leadership.

• Fluency in English (ideally multilingual for our multi-market operations).
