As an Internal Audit Analyst on the Internal Audit team within Finance, you'll execute financial crime compliance audits end-to-end, covering planning, fieldwork, reporting, and remediation validation. Internal Audit is Coinbase's independent third line of defense, delivering objective assurance and practical recommendations that strengthen governance, risk management, and controls across the company. You'll partner with Compliance, Engineering, and Legal stakeholders to identify control gaps, evaluate risk, and drive findings to closure, helping Coinbase scale with confidence in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment.

What you'll do:

• Execute end-to-end financial crime compliance audits, including scoping, risk and control assessments, walkthroughs, control testing, and drafting workpapers and reports that are clear, complete, and actionable.

• Own audit logistics and stakeholder engagement in a remote environment, tracking requests, open items, and testing status while maintaining proactive communication with cross-functional partners.

• Identify control gaps during fieldwork by performing root cause analysis, evaluating exception severity based on likelihood, impact, and regulatory exposure, and escalating where additional stakeholder outreach is required.

• Develop risk-based recommendations in collaboration with stakeholders, document management responses and action plans, and validate remediation of prior audit findings through to closure.

• Maintain current knowledge of anti-money laundering and sanctions regulations across all jurisdictions where Coinbase operates, applying regulatory developments to audit scope and testing.
