AI/ML Engineer - Lead Analyst
Job Purpose:
The Digital Solutions and Innovation (DSI) function works with members of Internal Audit (IA) to identify automation opportunities and develop solutions and capabilities to support the development of audit analytics.
A key aspect of DSI s strategy is to develop and deploy augmented intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities that are integrated with applications used by IA teams.
The overarching objectives of these capabilities is to provide in the moment guidance to auditors, glean broader and deeper insights, enable efficiencies, and promote better quality and consistency.
Role Overview:
The AI/ML Engineer - Lead Analyst is a critical role with the objective of exploring, developing, testing, deploying, enhancing, and maintaining machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities integrated with Internal Audit s management systems.
A broad understanding of AI/ML concepts and techniques, agile methodologies, cloud computing, intelligent chatbots, and related aspects is essential for the role.
Additionally, a key aspect of this role involves the design and refinement of prompts to effectively communicate with generative AI models and to guide them, optimizing their output for a variety of technical applications and producing high-quality and contextually relevant content.
The role will entail collaborating with DSI, audit teams, external third parties and technology teams on ML use case ideation and prioritization, developing plans and timelines for implementation, thorough testing, deployment in a systemic way, maintenance to keep the capabilities up to date and relevant, and support in the onboarding of new technology for DSI.
The role will also involve collaborating with DSI team members and audit teams on new use case ideation, exploration, and eventual implementation.
Another success factor for the role will be documentation of model performance and other metrics and communication/presentation of results to pertinent audiences, including senior leadership.
Along with a strong technical foundation, a creative, imaginative, forward-looking attitude and mindset is needed to continue to exert a positive impact on DSI and Internal Audit.
Furthermore, a total quality assurance orientation is indispensable in all activities and outputs.
