Data Analyst, Internal Audit (Retail)

We are looking for a Data Analyst to build the data-driven audit capability for our retail business. You will move internal audit from periodic sampling to continuous monitoring, so that anomalies are detected early, before they become losses.

Why this role matters

• Retail runs on thin margins and high transaction volumes, so small leakages add up quickly. Your analytics will surface them.
• You work directly with the Internal Audit Director and Manager, with access to the people and data you need.
• You design the detection logic, build the dashboards, and shape how audit is done across the business.

What you’ll do

• Design and run audit tests using data analytics, and lead quick data-driven reviews when needed (the core of the role)
• Build and run the annual continuous auditing program for retail: define risk criteria, clean and understand the data, and develop automated dashboards and reports on key business risks
• Monitor, detect and report abnormal patterns and insights
• Report significant governance, compliance, risk and control issues to the Internal Audit Director, and follow up on action plans until they are closed
• Support the investigation of suspected fraud
• Support the Audit Manager in training team members

What we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in Auditing, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration or a related field
• 4-5+ years of progressive experience in data analyst/business intelligence roles
• Strong skills in data querying, data collection and analytical tools for big data
• A business-risk mindset, with sharp analytical and problem-solving skills
• Professional English
• Clear communication, able to explain complex findings through presentations, memos and discussion
• Detail-oriented, resilient, well organized, and comfortable initiating change

Nice to have

• Retail industry experience
• CPA, CIA, ACCA or a data analytics certification
