Job description

At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.

We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.

With high-profile corporate fraud cases at the forefront of the news, it’s more important than ever for businesses to maintain the authoritative knowledge it takes to investigate and prevent fraud. Preventing and detecting fraud is all about identifying potential risks – using existing trends and emerging technology to accelerate intelligent decision making and build more efficient finance functions. Our clients look to us to make it happen, and as a Forensic Data Analytics Senior, you will be right at the heart of that goal. It is a role with far-reaching implications, so you will be working with stakeholders across industries with some of the most innovative tools available.

The opportunity

Since we work with such a diverse portfolio of clients across industries, you can expect to take on a wide range of big data challenges, making this a great place to develop your technical and business knowledge.

Your Key Responsibilities

It is no exaggeration to say you will never be doing the same task for too long. You are likely to balance your time between engagement planning with other Data Analytics team members and actively analyzing complex data. It’s all about using your technical skills to creatively assess and resolve our clients’ needs from the front lines. That means thinking differently about the role of data analytics in the support of litigation and fraud investigations and speaking up with innovative ideas that challenge the status quo.

• Develop yourself and others through seeking and offering on-the-job coaching
• Oversee multiple projects ensuring the work meets the client’s needs
• Use technology to continually learn and share your knowledge with other team members
• Nurture relationships with professionals in other service lines and seek opportunities to work together
• Maintain a strong focus on the client and be responsive to their requests

To qualify for the role you must have

• A bachelor’s degree in accounting, analytics, finance, business, statistics, economics or related field
• 2+ years of relevant work experience
• Achieved, or be working towards a professional designation, such as Certified Analytics Professional (CAP), CFE, or CFCE
• A proven record of success in data analysis and data science, and an in-depth knowledge of SQL, and other leading database technologies, statistical analysis packages such as SPSS, SAS or scripting languages such as Python or R
• Excellent communication, organizational and prioritization skills
• Ability to solve data problems independently and be a self-starter
• Familiarity of Hadoop-based technologies
• The ability and willingness to travel and work in excess of standard hours when necessary
• Access to reliable transportation to/from the EY office and client sites. A driver’s license is strongly recommended as ride share and public transportation options may not be available in all locations

Ideally, you’ll also have

• A strong working knowledge of data visualization tools such as PowerBI
