• Provide end to end delivery and operational excellence of Internal Audit’s data pipelines, continuous assurance capabilities and reporting products.
• Own and oversee the design, development and operation of pipelines, datasets, transformations, models and reporting products.
• Provide hands on technical leadership setting and embedding clear engineering, reporting and quality standards.
