Corporate Investigator - Analytics & Innovation

Corporate Investigator The Corporate Investigator supports the Compliance Department's fraud-risk management program by conducting proactive, data-driven reviews of financial transactions, operational records, and other company data to identify potential indicators of fraud, waste, abuse, misconduct, or control breakdowns. The primary focus of this role is designing and performing anti-fraud analytics projects, identifying anomalous activity and red flags, and communicating actionable results for further review. The role also builds and validates analytics and AI-enabled monitoring tools, including bespoke AI agents, and provides analytical and case-support assistance to fraud investigations, including evidence review, data collection, interviewing support, report writing, evidence documentation, and recommendations to strengthen anti-fraud controls. Anti-Fraud Data Analytics: Develop, perform, and document data analytics projects designed to identify potential fraudulent activity, control weaknesses, and emerging fraud risks. Analyze large and complex datasets from financial, procurement, payroll, expense, vendor, operational, and other relevant company systems. Review transactions and activity for fraud indicators, including duplicate or unusual payments, split transactions, unusual vendor activity, conflicts of interest, deviations from expected patterns, and policy violations. Use trend analysis, exception reporting, data mining, visualization, and other analytical techniques to identify anomalies, relationships, and potential schemes requiring review. Create and maintain repeatable queries, reports, dashboards, and monitoring routines that support proactive fraud detection. Assess the nature, scope, and potential financial exposure associated with identified issues, and promptly escalate significant concerns to management. Partner with Internal Audit, Accounting, Finance, Procurement, Information Technology, Human Resources, Legal, Security, and operational leaders to obtain timely access to relevant data sources, validate results and data quality, and improve monitoring capabilities. Recommend enhancements to preventive and detective controls, business processes, data quality, and fraud-monitoring practices based on analytical findings, root cause analyses, and lessons learned. Investigative Support: Provide analytical support to fraud investigations involving potential employee misconduct, misuse of company assets, procurement irregularities, expense fraud, financial-reporting concerns, conflicts of interest, or other alleged violations. Collect, organize, preserve, and analyze relevant electronic records, transaction data, supporting documentation, and other evidence. Prepare data summaries, timelines, transaction analyses, charts, and other work products that support investigative planning and findings. Assist investigators with research, document collection, case documentation, interviewing, follow-up analysis, and written investigative reports. Maintain confidentiality, objectivity, sound judgment, and appropriate handling of sensitive information throughout all assignments. Support fraud risk assessments, awareness efforts, and periodic reporting of investigative and analytics trends and metrics to support CECO reporting to executive leadership, the Enterprise Risk Management Committee, and the Audit Committee. Design, develop, test, and document AI-enabled tools, including bespoke AI agents, to proactively identify potential fraud, waste, and abuse, with human review, performance measurement (e.g., accuracy, precision, recall), and controls ensuring use only for intended purposes.
