Purpose of the role :

The Data Analyst will be part of the Internal Audit and Risk function. The work involves supporting the Data Analyst Specialist in Internal Audit and Risk with current projects and future developments within FQM. The data analyst will analyse large and varying data sets in line with specific objectives using available data analysis tool(s) (training will be provided).

The Data Analyst will assist on any audits or processes where there is data or information found in digital format. Data analytics can be utilized on existing audits to enhance that audit or purely on audits that would otherwise be a struggle without data analytics. Data analytics allows for complete data sets to be tested which increases the accuracy and coverage regarding the findings.

The focus will involve building and maintaining relationships with stakeholders and to assist the Data Analyst Specialist to create automated and continuous exception reports to Internal Audit for continuous auditing purposes. Further, the focus will be to assist the Data Analyst to investigate the exceptions where necessary as well as any ad hoc analysis requests that may arise.

Internal Audit is responsible for reviewing business operations of the whole FQM group, helping to drive improvements in effectiveness and efficiency, promoting awareness of business risk, examining business processes to highlight any areas where it appears FQM could improve, provide assurance that our compliance requirements are met and report our findings to FQM senior group and site management and FQM Audit Committee.

The role offers an unrivalled opportunity to gain exposure to a wide range of FQM managers and operations throughout the group, so the individual will build their knowledge and understanding of the FQM business.
