The Role:
The Risk, Audit, & Sustainability (RAS) division is undergoing significant digital transformation — modernizing how Internal Audit and Risk Management operate through the adoption of an enterprise GRC platform, advanced analytics, and AI-enabled workflows.
This role (Senior Manager, AI & Advanced Analytics) will design and build analytics and AI-enabled solutions—from continuous controls monitoring and risk indicator development to identifying control gaps and inefficiencies, with a primary focus on Internal Audit. As capabilities evolve, the successful candidate will help advance predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and AI-driven automation, ensuring solutions are responsible, governed, and scalable.
This role offers a unique opportunity to join a high-impact team shaping how analytics and AI are embedded into audit and assurance practices. It is ideal for someone who combines strong quantitative skills (statistical modeling, predictive analytics, anomaly detection) with applied AI. The successful candidate will be comfortable working across the full analytics maturity spectrum — from foundational reporting, diagnostics, and rule-based monitoring to advanced modeling, statistical analytics, and AI-enabled automation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Data Science & Predictive Analytics
- Design, develop, and maintain predictive models for risk concentration detection, control failure prediction, anomaly identification, and pattern matching.
- Build risk scoring and quantification models that move the function from qualitative (High/Medium/Low) risk assessment toward defensible, data-driven risk quantification
- Continuous Controls Monitoring/Auditing (CCM)
- Work with stakeholders to identify use cases that are good candidates for automated controls testing and execute them.
- Define and calibrate anomaly detection thresholds for continuous controls monitoring/auditing — balancing sensitivity and specificity to minimize false positives while catching genuine exceptions
- AI Agent Development & Workflow Engineering
- Assist in readying Internal Audit processes for automation and agentic integration
- Design, build, and deploy agentic AI workflows leveraging enterprise platforms (e.g: ChatGPT/Google Gemini) and also developing custom AI solutions
- Manage the AI agent and model inventory including version control, ownership, risk tiering, deployment status, evidence retention, and exception tracking
- Executive Dashboarding & Reporting
- Design and build executive leadership dashboards using tools such as Power BI, Google Looker Studio, Tableau, and the GRC platform’s native visualization capabilities
- Create data storytelling assets that translate complex analytics outputs into clear, actionable insights for non-technical leadership audiences
- Training, Enablement & Change Management
- Support in…
