Overview

The Compliance Data Analyst - Europe - supports the European compliance organization by turning data from business systems and operational processes into reliable reporting, meaningful analysis and practical recommendations. The position combines curiosity about how data is created with the discipline to check definitions, quality, completeness and limitations before drawing conclusions.
