• Reporting & Communication: Produce clear, structured summaries, visuals (dashboards, charts), and actionable recommendations for audit teams and leadership
• Strategic Roadmapping: Provide crucial analytical input into the Permissible Use Capability Roadmap and identify existing capability gaps in our data environment

• 3–6+ years of experience in business analysis, data analysis, data governance, or risk-related roles
• Proven ability to explore, interpret, and manipulate large datasets using tools like SQL, Python, and data visualization platforms (e.g., Quicksight/Tableau)
• Demonstrated ability to create comprehensive technical and process documentation, including detailed process flows, control descriptions, technical diagrams, and structured write-ups
• Ability to structure and tackle ambiguous analytical problems, define clear methodologies, and communicate complex findings clearly and concisely
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating closely with a senior program lead and cross-functional stakeholders across technology, legal, and business lines
