Compliance is about monitoring, challenging and advising the organisation of adhering to (unwritten) rules and the moral compass (preventing ‘legal but harmful’ situations). So, at the first glance this looks like a purely qualitative domain, but as the importance of data is undeniable throughout the Bank and hence also for the Compliance domain. The data analytics team (7 colleagues) play a crucial role to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of Compliance by using data and applying knowledge of data and analytics. All this together with Compliance Experts and other data analysts & scientists in the wider risk community.
In this role, you will analyze data to draw insights, patterns and conclusions that will enable the business to improve their products, services, processes or to develop new strategies. You are adept at handling large, complex datasets and developing and applying robust analytical processes including data cleaning, data interpretation models, forecasting, pattern identification, and trend analysis. You will also study product and process-related data, as well as environmental conditions in which the firm operates, competitor behaviour, or other data sources. You bring extensive knowledge of tools and methods including statistics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
