  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to document and test internal controls
  • Analyse and reconcile information from multiple sources, resolve discrepancies, and work across teams to understand processes and propose actionable recommendations to business owners and the controls team

 What we are looking for:

  • Proven experience providing business analysis in a commercial or technology organisation
  • Excellent organisation skills, specifically within process management and documentation
  • Advanced analytical, conceptual and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent communication skills, both in terms of written (documentation) and verbal (e.g. facilitating workshops)
  • Bachelor's degree in commerce or technology or accreditation in Business Analysis desirable

About you:

You are a skilled professional with expertise in root cause analysis, risk management, and project advisory. You are confident at identifying and mitigating risks in highly regulated environments and across strategic controls. Your exceptional analytical abilities, paired with clear and concise communication, enable you to simplify complex information into actionable insights for diverse stakeholders. With a solid background in breach management, compliance, and continuous process improvement, you thrive in fast-paced environments.
