Finance professionals safeguard sacred funds—donated confidentially in obedience to God’s commandments—by designing, implementing, and maintaining financial controls that support the Church’s religious mission under the direction of senior ecclesiastical leaders.
The Sr. Business Process Control Analyst is responsible for ensuring audit readiness, control defensibility, and regulatory compliance across financial processes within an Oracle-based financial environment. This role provides hands-on leadership and subject-matter expertise in financial risk management, business process controls, and audit coordination, leveraging Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) / Integrated Risk Management (IRM) capabilities (e.g., ServiceNow).
This is an advanced professional, individual contributor role with lead-level responsibility and influence.
A Day in the Life
No days are the same—but each one is grounded in purpose, precision, and partnership.
You might start your day by reviewing the status of key controls in Oracle Financials, ensuring that critical processes such as Record-to-Report or Procure-to-Pay operate effectively and are fully supported by clear, defensible documentation.
Later in the morning, you could collaborate with process owners and technology teams to strengthen a control design—either by embedding it directly into an Oracle workflow or by refining its tracking in ServiceNow GRC. Your ability to translate risk into practical, sustainable controls makes you a trusted advisor across teams.
By midday, you may be coordinating with internal or external auditors—walking through control logic, supporting testing activities, or addressing questions with clarity and confidence. You understand what makes a control not just compliant, but defensible.
In the afternoon, your focus might shift to risk analysis and continuous improvement. You could be evaluating control gaps, rationalizing redundant controls, or supporting an Oracle enhancement initiative to ensure controls are built into the process from the start—not added after the fact.
Throughout the day, you engage with stakeholders at multiple levels, including senior ecclesiastical leaders, bringing a steady, thoughtful approach to safeguarding resources that are both financially and spiritually significant.
And while the work is technical, the impact is deeply meaningful—every control strengthened, every risk mitigated, contributes to protecting sacred funds and enabling a global mission.
