  • Support issue investigation when automated controls fail or produce unexpected results.

  • Data Validation & Quality Assurance

  • Perform data validation, reconciliations, and reasonableness checks to ensure control outputs are reliable.

  • Investigate data anomalies and partner with operations or technology teams to resolve root causes.

  • Ensure upstream and downstream data dependencies supporting controls are clearly understood and documented.

  • Promote strong data governance and disciplined use of control data.

  • Admin Advantage Operations Support

  • Act as a trusted partner to Admin Advantage operations teams, helping them understand control expectations and outcomes.

  • Translate control results into clear, operationally relevant insights.

  • Support operational teams during control changes, enhancements, or issue remediation.

  • Provide guidance and clarity to frontline teams on control execution and documentation.

  • Requirements & Analysis

  • Apply structured problem‑solving and continuous improvement methodologies to enhance the control environment.

  • Balance risk mitigation with operational efficiency and practicality.

  • Required Qualifications:
