Control Tower Analyst

Purpose

• The Control Tower Specialist ensures that BAS activities operate within an adequate level of control, mitigating the risk of fraud or error on key transactions. The role combines the direct execution of critical controls with the verification that other controls are properly performed and documented by operational teams

Responsibilities

• The Control Tower Specialist is responsible for executing and monitoring key controls across BAS processes. This includes validating vendor bank details to prevent fraud, overseeing the accuracy of share-based payment transactions, and ensuring proper documentation of these activities. The role also reviews compliance within the Source-to-Pay process, verifying that procedures and golden rules are followed—such as ensuring contract signatories hold the appropriate power of attorney, contracts are stored in the dedicated database, and purchase orders are properly structured and placed under the correct entity.
• In addition, the Control Tower Specialist prepares and coordinates SBM’s internal control campaigns, including Source-to-Contract (ICoSCM), Purchase-to-Pay (ICoFR), and GHG emissions reporting (ICoESG). Through these activities, the specialist ensures that controls are consistently applied, documented, and aligned with SBM’s governance framework while supporting continuous improvement of the control environment.

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration, or related field.

Experience

• Minimum of 3–5 years of progressive experience in financial management, business analysis, or a related role, ideally complemented by prior experience in internal or external audit.
