We are looking for an experienced,
highly motivated analyst with a keen interest in data analytics, business
intelligence, and artificial intelligence, and internal audit. In this role,
you will work closely with other internal audit team members to apply data
analytics and visualization throughout audit engagements. You will also use AI and other advanced
analytics techniques to identify patterns and themes across audit and advisory
engagements and support the analysis of potential systemic issues and root
causes. If you have prior exposure to internal audit and solid data analytics,
problem solving, and communication skills, we would like to hear from you!
Success in this role requires more than technical data
expertise. We are looking for a systems thinker who understands
the relationship between data and business, including how data can reveal
risks, control gaps, and opportunities for improvement. The successful
candidate will be curious about how the organization operates,
able to connect insights across functions and processes, and committed to translating data into actionable insights.
How you’ll make a difference: You’ll help ensure WorkSafeBC is
accomplishing its objectives by using data and technology to evaluate and
improve risk management, control, and governance.

databases using tools such as SQL, Python, and PowerBI

anomalies, trends, and potential control failures, and support continuous

- Automate repetitive audit activities to enhance
productivity (e.g., data preparation, repeatable tests, and draft
workpaper/report outputs) by building and maintaining reproducible
scripts, prompts, and templates in line with established documentation and
quality standards
- Develop and improve complex analytical models
(e.g. for evaluation, prediction, classification, prescription)
- Develop and present data analyses and visualization
that clearly communicate findings and provide management with actionable
insigts
- Share learnings and provide hands-on support to
team members when using analytics and automation tools (e.g., explaining
outputs, documenting steps, and helping with tool adoption)
- Consistently model the appropriate level of organizational behaviors expected of all WorkSafeBC employees: responsive, respectful, fair, collaborative, accountable, and forward thinking

- Identify significant and relevant information from
a variety of sources, collect and analyze data to develop, assess, and
establish meaningful ways of grouping and transforming data to draw well-supported
conclusions
- Interpret, evaluate, infer, and explain business
data, concepts, and significance, and develop alternatives and
recommendations appropriate for the business
- Apply quantitative and qualitative research
methods (e.g. statistical analyses, data modeling, text mining, machine
learning, predictive analytics, sampling, survey and questionnaire design)
- Write scripts and formulas for extracting,
compiling, and displaying information
- Learn quickly how an organization operates and
assess risks and controls across the organization, from enterprise-wide
issues to specific processes
- Apply professional skepticism, challenge
assumptions respectfully, and pursue issues to their root cause, even in
complex or difficult circumstances
- Analyze new information as it
emerges and adapt the analytical approach while maintaining focus on the
engagement’s intended objectives
- Translate audit objectives, risks, and business questions
into appropriate analytical approaches, identifying the data, methods,
assumptions, and limitations required to produce reliable evidence.

- A master’s degree in a quantitative-related
discipline such as statistics/mathematics, operations research, big data,
data science, computer science, information technology, finance, business,
