• Analyze audit results across the portfolios and geographies to extract and synthesize key findings, trends, and emerging risks for quarterly enterprise audit insights.
• Help build and maintain dashboards and narrative reports that bring audit data to life for executive stakeholders.
• Work with structured and unstructured datasets including text, audio, and transactional data.
• Collaborate with auditors, data engineers, and subject matter experts to ensure the quality, interpretability, and alignment of analytics outputs.
