• Translating technical risks and data findings into clear, actionable business narratives for senior leaders and stakeholders.
• Partnering with external auditors to enable reliance on internal analytics in line with external standards.
• Leading and mentoring a small team, fostering a high-performance, forward-thinking environment.
