Applying through Workday
You create an account with each employer before you can upload anything. Every Workday employer has its own account, so one sign-up doesn’t carry over.
“Autofill with Resume” comes right after sign-in, before the My Information and My Experience steps. Check every field it fills in those steps, since that’s what recruiters see.
Your application status lives in that employer’s Candidate Home, under the same sign-in.

About the role
We file this job under Data Scientist, by the work the posting describes.
Data scientists use statistics and models to answer harder questions, such as whether a change worked, what demand will look like next quarter, or which customers are likely to leave.
Postings usually ask for Python or R, SQL, statistics, experiment design and common machine learning methods.
Unlike an ML engineer, a data scientist's main output is often an analysis or a first model, not software running inside a product.
We’re looking for a Data Scientist to join our Global Risk and Compliance team at MGS. In this role, you are expected to partner with global audit teams to develop data-driven solutions that enhance audit activities and provide meaningful insights across various business functions. You will leverage data analytics, programming, automation, and machine learning techniques to identify trends, anomalies, risks, and opportunities while helping strengthen the use of analytics across Audit Services.
Position Responsibilities:
Collaborate with cross-functional audit teams to develop analytics-enabled solutions, including data validation, consolidation, cleansing, and quality assessment.
Analyze structured and unstructured datasets to identify trends, patterns, anomalies, outliers, and potential compliance or control indicators.
Develop and maintain business, system, and data knowledge across supported areas while documenting insights to strengthen the team’s analytics knowledge base.
Communicate analytical findings and translate complex data into clear, actionable insights and visualizations for audit management and business partners.
Support the adoption of data analytics across Audit Services by providing technical guidance and training and automating processes to improve data availability and audit efficiency.
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Data Science, or a related discipline. Advanced studies or a Master’s degree would be an advantage.
At least 3-5 years hands-on experience in data analytics, data management, programming, machine learning, data mining, and statistical analysis.
Advanced programming skills in Python and SQL, with experience working with Microsoft Excel and data visualization tools such as Power BI or Tableau.
Experience gathering, storing, retrieving, and analyzing data across various platforms, including structured and unstructured datasets.

Experience building machine learning models and applying statistical techniques such as regression, clustering, and decision trees.
Hands-on experience or familiarity with Generative AI, text analytics, and open-source data visualization libraries.

Previous experience within the Insurance or Financial Services industry, with an interest in developing strong business and audit knowledge.
Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills, with the ability to manage priorities, meet deadlines, adapt to change, and translate complex analysis into user-friendly insights.
When you join our team:
We’ll empower you to learn and grow the career you want.
We’ll recognize and support you in a flexible environment where well-being and inclusion are more than just words.
As part of our global team, we’ll support you in shaping the future you want to see.
