Our Ethics Compliance and Risk Management team enables responsible growth through close collaboration with the business to protect EY from the risks that arise from its professional practice as well as regulatory requirements.

As an Associate in the Data Analyst role within Fair Employment Practices Compliance (FEPC), you will serve as part of a focused data analytics team that helps advance the Firm’s nondiscrimination and employment compliance objectives. This role will support data review, data preparation, data validation, analysis, reporting, and technical execution across employment-practice workstreams, with an emphasis on using data processing tools and systems to produce timely, accurate, complete, and clear work outputs.

In this role, you will contribute to team-based efforts that translate compliance and business questions into structured data requirements, repeatable data processes, analytical outputs, documentation, and reporting routines.

As part of the analytics team, you will support FEPC initiatives involving EEO-related reviews, government reporting, employment-practice analyses, data reconciliation, trend analysis, quality checks, stakeholder briefings, and other activities requiring strong technical capability, data systems knowledge, attention to detail, and sound judgment.

You will work collaboratively with the analytics team and stakeholders across Talent, Recruiting, IT Systems, Risk Management, business functions, and other internal teams to understand data sources, clarify reporting requirements, identify critical outcomes and potential barriers, evaluate data quality, and present insights that support decision-making, compliance execution, and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform data review, validation, reconciliation, and quality checks across employment-related datasets to support EEO-related reviews, government and other external reporting, and employment-practice initiatives.
• Use Excel, Alteryx, SQL, and other data processing or reporting tools, in coordination with team standards, to collect, clean, transform, join, analyze, and document data from multiple systems and sources.
• Develop and maintain repeatable data workflows, control checks, templates, queries, documentation, and reporting routines that improve consistency, accuracy, efficiency, and auditability.
• Analyze and clearly present data and other information to identify significant trends, key issues, anomalies, risks, dependencies, and implications for compliance priorities and projects.
• Partner with IT Systems, Talent, Recruiting, Risk Management, and business stakeholders to understand source systems, data definitions, data lineage, reporting logic, and business requirements.
• Prepare data summaries, dashboards, reports, data review materials, stakeholder-ready presentations, and supporting documentation tailored to audience needs.
• Identify data quality issues, process gaps, system limitations, and opportunities for improvement; propose credible options and support resolution with appropriate stakeholders.
• Use relevant data, EY tools, approved AI tools, and other resources responsibly to improve work outcomes while maintaining accuracy, confidentiality, appropriate human review, and sound judgment.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of relevant data tools, reporting methods, employment compliance concepts, and EY processes, sharing key learnings appropriately with analytics team members and colleagues.
• Organize assigned analytical work to appropriately prioritize the needs of multiple internal and external stakeholders while producing complete, accurate, timely, and clear deliverables with limited supervision and in coordination with team priorities.
