ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

The position is based in Rome and reports to the Data Science Team Leader. It is within the Office of Internal Audit (OIGA), under the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). OIGA provides WFP stakeholders with independent and objective assurance and advisory services designed to address the main risks to WFP operations and help WFP achieve its goals through improvements to the effectiveness of its governance, risk management, and controls.

THE ROLE

Designs and develops Data Science products to reveal insights and provide an understanding or knowledge of the data that would otherwise not be detected without the application of advanced analytical methods such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, predictive analytics, data/text mining, Natural Language Processing, statistics, and the use of relevant algorithms and computational approaches.

Designs and develops custom visualizations and presentations to reveal the findings of analysis for clients, suitable for all forms of production (including briefings, reports, documentation to OIGA, interactive interfaces, and publication of quality outputs). At the request of OIGA management and in coordination with the Data Science Team Leader, participates in internal audits and investigations, assisting and performing tasks under the supervision of auditors and investigators, producing findings and reports within the stipulated timeline and quality requirements.
