Responsibilities
Design and develop SQL queries and Python scripts to support operational audit activities. This includes building automated audit tests, anomaly detection models, and risk scoring mechanisms to replace manual sampling
Develop techniques for continuous auditing, moving us away from point-in-time testing. You will build and maintain models that analyze large volumes of data for outliers, patterns, and trends
Partner with the SOX team to automate ITGC and Business Process control testing. Your goal is to achieve 100% population testing on key controls rather than relying on random sampling
Create dynamic visualizations that provide management with real-time insights into Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and emerging risk trends
Design and execute data analytics for Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) initiatives, providing data-driven support for annual risk assessments
Model data in ThoughtSpot to empower non-technical auditors to ask their own questions (e.g., 'Show me duplicate expense submissions > $500 last month')
Interact with Engineering, Data Science, and Business Operations to identify appropriate data sources. You will validate the completeness and accuracy (C&A) of data received to ensure it meets audit standards
Champion a data-first mindset within the team. You will research and communicate best practices, teaching traditional auditors how to utilize data tools to improve their process
Collaborate closely with the core audit team, occasionally assisting with broader departmental initiatives or fieldwork support to ensure team deadlines are met
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a quantitative field (Business/Finance degrees acceptable with strong technical portfolio)
5+ years of relevant experience in data analysis, specifically within an Audit, Risk, Compliance, Finance, or Forensic context
Advanced proficiency in SQL is required. You must be comfortable writing complex queries (joins, window functions, CTEs) against Snowflake
Experience connecting cloud data to ThoughtSpot. You understand Worksheets, Views, and Search capabilities. You know how to model data specifically so that ThoughtSpot's search engine returns accurate results
A rigorous approach to validating 'Completeness and Accuracy.' You don't just visualize data; you first prove it matches the source system (NetSuite/Product Backend)
A strong sense of curiosity and the ability to ask probing questions to understand complex business processes and data context
A self-starter who proactively identifies problems and builds tools to fix them, while maintaining the flexibility to jump in and support team priorities when needed
The ability to translate complex data findings into clear, actionable audit conclusions for non-technical stakeholders
