Position Purpose

The QA Process & Infrastructure Analyst helps the Commercial Banking Quality Assurance team improve how work is documented, monitored, measured, and governed. This role evaluates current-state processes against future-state needs, identifies gaps in procedure, ownership, data quality, control execution, and reporting visibility, and helps translate those findings into repeatable standards, usable documentation, workflow resources, KPI routines, and practical recommendations that promote consistent execution, sustainable remediation, and sound business discipline. The successful candidate will operate between business operations, QA leadership, Compliance, and process owners to turn fragmented practices into clear expectations and measurable operating routines.

QA, Compliance & Stakeholder Partnership

• Support lower-level controls testing, documentation review, quality system maintenance, and control validation activities in partnership with Compliance as needed.
• Help business partners understand QA expectations by converting findings, requirements, and process standards into practical, usable guidance.
• Maintain strong working relationships across Commercial Bank teams to promote accountability, consistent execution, continuous improvement, and operational discipline.

KPI Development, Data Standards & Quality Insights

• • Help define KPIs, monitoring routines, and performance indicators that allow QA leadership to evaluate process adherence, repeat findings, remediation progress, data quality, and operational risk trends over time.
  • Review QC outputs, reporting themes, and recurring process issues to identify standardization opportunities, root cause themes, control gaps, and future-state improvement priorities.
  • Evaluate existing data standards, definitions, source information, and quality issues that impact QA reporting, documentation accuracy, and management visibility.
  • Recommend improvements to data capture, reporting consistency, documentation structure, and workflow discipline to strengthen the reliability of QA insights and operational decision-making.
