As the Head of Internal Audit, you will lead the Group’s independent Internal Audit function, providing objective assurance and strategic insight on the effectiveness of Swissquote’s governance, risk management and internal control framework. Reporting directly to the Board of Directors, the role oversees the Internal Audit function across the Swissquote Group, defining a risk-based audit strategy and ensuring appropriate coverage of financial, regulatory, operational, technology and emerging risks. As the Bank transitions from Category 4 to Category 3 under FINMA's banking categorization, Swissquote will internalize the Internal Audit function currently performed by an external provider. The objective is to broaden the risk assessment expertise, audit planning and internal audit governance in-house, while retaining the flexibility and specialist expertise of external providers through a co-sourced internal audit model. The Head of Internal Audit will lead the internalization process and build the function from the ground up, including its governance, charter, methodology, team, tools and audit universe. The role will ensure a smooth transition from the outgoing external partner and full compliance with FINMA requirements applicable to a Category 3 institution. Acting as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, the Head of Internal Audit will maintain the highest standards of independence, professional scepticism and integrity while contributing to the continuous strengthening of Swissquote’s governance and control environment. This position is a highly visible, build-and-lead mandate, with direct exposure to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee.
