• Conduct testing and validation of new automated solutions and enhancements; establish regression testing protocols to ensure sustained control effectiveness
• Account for project scope, timeline estimates, and resource requirements; manage stakeholder communication on solution delivery and issue escalation
• Build ETL pipelines and data automation workflows using advanced programming capabilities (SQL, Python, SAS, Snowflake, RBC Assist, or equivalent); leverage big data modeling techniques and tools where appropriate
• Monitor automation effectiveness and control design; recommend enhancements to increase control sensitivity or reduce false positives
• Build partnerships across operational risk, control, and technology teams to gather best practices and address barriers to automation adoption
