About The Job
The Controls Automation & Analytics Specialist enables efficient, high-quality, and scalable
internal control testing through data analytics, automation and agentic AI. The role prepares and validates large transactional datasets, develops repeatable automated tests to identify exceptions, and supports the testing team with data-driven insights and monitoring outputs.
The position sits within the Internal Control Testing and Automation organization and reports to the Director, Internal Control Testing and Automation.
Main Responsibilities
Data, Analytics & Automated Testing Delivery
- Define data requirements with testers and process stakeholders. Obtain and prepare extracts from source systems (ERP, sub-ledgers, workflow tools).
- Perform data quality and reconciliation checks (completeness, accuracy, duplicates, cut-off, mapping) and document results.
- Build and maintain automated tests (SQL/Python/R) to detect exceptions (e.g., duplicate payments, abnormal journals, master data anomalies).
- Develop dashboards and exception reporting (Power BI/Tableau) to support periodic and continuous monitoring.
- Operationalize automated tests: scheduling, run-books, exception triage workflow, and handoff to testers/control owners.
Agentic AI Enablement for Testing
- Design and maintain agentic AI workflows to support testing activities such as evidence intake/classification, completeness checks, automated follow-ups, exception clustering, and drafting testing narratives for reviewer completion.
- Define human-in-the-loop checkpoints and ensure reviewer approval before conclusions are finalized.
- Maintain prompt libraries, agent configurations, and reusable components aligned with testing standards.
Governance, Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
- Ensure audit-ready governance for automation and agentic solutions: documented logic/assumptions, data lineage, versioning/change logs, reproducibility, logging, access controls, and periodic re-validation.
- Collaborate with IC Testing Analysts/Senior Analysts and process teams to translate testing objectives into analytics/agentic use-cases and support root cause analysis and remediation follow-up.
- Identify opportunities to expand automation/agentic coverage and reduce manual effort. Contribute to the testing automation roadmap and standardization initiatives.
