We're looking for bold thinkers. Sharp problem-solvers. Builders who are wired to make an impact. Robinhood isn't a place for complacency, it's where ambitious people do the best work of their careers. We're a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of everything we do. Expectations are high, and so are the rewards. The Internal Audit function at Robinhood provides independent, objective, and timely assurance on the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal controls — helping to strengthen the organization's overall control ecosystem. Our team oversees governance across the Company and its regulated entities, and facilitates the communication of risk management information between RHM leadership and the Board of Directors and its Committees. We work closely with cross-functional partners across Brokerage, Crypto, Security, and Engineering to drive meaningful improvements to the control environment. We're a collaborative, high-performing group of auditors who take their work seriously — and love what they do! As an Internal Audit Senior Associate, you will play a key role in executing internal audits for Robinhood's International Entities, spanning Brokerage and Crypto products and integrated audits across multiple lines of business and jurisdictions. You will be a technically skilled, collaborative, and analytical professional with a strong understanding of risks, controls, and processes in a regulated Fintech setting. You'll contribute across the full audit lifecycle — from planning and execution through reporting and remediation validation — and build lasting relationships with business partners and management teams along the way. This role is based in our Ljubljana office, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week. At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams. ## What you’ll do - Support end-to-end audit procedures across the full audit lifecycle — including planning, execution, reporting, and remediation validation — across a portfolio of Robinhood EMEA entities. - Responsibly apply generative AI and workflow automation throughout the internal audit lifecycle, while maintaining appropriate human oversight guardrails. - Conduct audit procedures including walkthroughs, control testing, and substantive testing. - Prepare testing work papers and audit documentation (flowcharts, narratives, risk & control matrices) to document controls, findings, and recommendations, including interpreting and concluding on the significance of audit findings. - Draft clear, concise audit reports and present findings to audit leadership and auditees. - Collaborate with internal audit team members and support third-party engagements to assist with audit execution and reporting. - Participate in audit discussions with management teams across Brokerage, Crypto, Security & Engineering. - Build collaborative relationships with business and cross-functional partners. - Support audit leadership with risk assessments and development of the Internal Audit Plan, aligned to the strategic direction of the parent company audit program. - Participate in special projects and perform other duties as assigned. ## What you bring - Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g. Business Administration, Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Science, or Computer Engineering). - 5+ years of auditing experience, including exposure to Operations, Risk Management, Compliance, or IT/Information Security. - Strong technical expertise and analytical skills, with the ability to communicate and partner with business, engineering, data, and product teams. - Ability to thrive in fast-paced environments, work with ambiguity, and adapt quickly to change. - Ability to operate independently while juggling multiple projects and initiatives in a dynamic, high-tech environment. - Professional auditor certification (e.g. CIA issued by the Slovenian Institute of Auditors (SIA), CISA, ACCA, CPA). - Passion for Robinhood's products and our mission to democratize access to global financial systems. - Work experience in industries such as e-money, payment services, brokerage, or crypto financial products (e.g. payments, lending, spot, derivatives, tokenization). - Familiarity with licensing and regulatory compliance requirements in Europe and Asia (e.g. MiCA, CASP/VASP, PSD2, MiFID II, MAS, DORA, GDPR, AMLD). - Some exposure to direct communication with financial regulators (e.g. ATVP, Central Bank of Lithuania, CSSF, ESMA, FCA, MAS). ## What we offer - Challenging, high-impact work to grow your career. - Performance driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact and bonus programs. - Top tier benefits to fuel your work, including supplemental health insurance, ancillary insurance, and mental health support programs. - Lifestyle wallet - a highly flexible employer-paid benefits spending account expenses beyond traditional benefits such as wellness, childcare, learning, and more. - Time off to recharge including company holidays, paid time off, sick time, paid volunteer time off, parental leave, and more! - Exceptional office experience with catered meals, events, and comfortable workspaces. - Monthly commuter stipend to help offset in-office commuting costs.
