• Reconciling discrepancies and maintaining accurate, high-quality IT control datasets.
• Supporting automation initiatives and exploring AI technologies to enhance IT control monitoring and reporting.
• Providing ad-hoc analysis and insights to strengthen IT governance and risk management strategies.

What are we looking for?

We’re seeking a detail-oriented and analytical professional who thrives on solving complex problems and delivering accurate, high-quality work. You’ll bring strong technical expertise and a passion for continuous improvement to help us drive efficiency and innovation within IT governance.

Key qualities and skills include:

• Analytical mindset with exceptional problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Technical proficiency in data visualization (Power BI), advanced Excel, and Microsoft O365 tools, including SharePoint.
• Data expertise in extraction, manipulation, and transformation techniques.
• Ability to translate complex IT control insights into clear, actionable messages for stakeholders at all levels.
• Highly organized and structured, capable of meeting deadlines under pressure.
• Knowledge of IT control frameworks, risk & control management, compliance, and governance (desirable).
• Adaptable and collaborative, equally effective working independently or as part of a team.
• A continuous improvement mindset, proactive in finding efficiencies and challenging the status quo.
• Skilled in using data for analysis, decision-making, and risk identification.
