Founded in 1991, we are a global quantitative and systematic asset management firm applying a scientific approach to finance to develop alternative investment strategies that create value for our clients.
We value innovation, dedication, collaboration, and the ability to make an impact. Together, we create a stimulating environment for talented and passionate experts in research, technology, and business to explore new ideas and challenge existing assumptions.

We are seeking an IT Audit & Controls Specialist to join our Internal Control team and lead the development of a robust, independent IT audit and control framework. This role is highly transversal, offering the opportunity to work across all departments of the firm—from infrastructure and data to cybersecurity and regulatory compliance.

You will play a key role in protecting the firm’s intellectual property, ensuring compliance with evolving regulations (such as DORA), and building a new layer of governance that is fully independent from the IT and Security departments.

What You’ll Do

• Lead IT audits across infrastructure, cybersecurity, and regulatory domains (e.g., DORA).
• Design and implement a monthly control framework to monitor key IT processes.
• Establish and maintain IT governance procedures, ensuring alignment with internal policies and external standards.
• Challenge and collaborate with technical teams to assess risks and improve practices.
• Conduct risk assessments and report findings to senior management.
• Coordinate with the Security team while maintaining full independence.
• Contribute to the innovation and evolution of internal control practices.

What We’re Looking For

Must Have

• 5–10 years of experience in IT audit, ideally in finance or regulated environments
• Strong understanding of infrastructure, cybersecurity, and IT governance
• Fluent in English (written and spoken)
• Ability to challenge technical teams and translate findings into actionable insights
• Strong analytical mindset, attention to detail, and autonomy

Nice to Have

• DORA certification or experience with DORA-related audits
• Familiarity with cloud environments, data providers, and quantitative systems
• Previous experience in a hedge fund, investment bank, or fintech

We are continuously striving to be an equal opportunity employer and we prohibit any discrimination based on sex, disability, origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, race, or religion. We believe that our diversity, breadth of experience, and multiple points of view are among the leading factors in our success.
