POSITION OVERVIEW

Provide financial management and compliance services for the global RTA IS&T team as well as driving a wide variety of continuous improvement initiatives, aimed at ensuring that the team operates effectively and efficiently as possible. The primary purpose of the Controls and Improvement Specialist is to:

• Manage the costs and chargebacks for the global RTA IS&T team

• Undertake a wide variety of continous improvement and support initiatives as directed by the VP IS&T
• Coordinate compliance programmes for RTA IS&T including ICQ and SOX
• Attend to miscellaneous requests from Rio Tinto IS&T and other corporate functions

Without this role, effective controls and compliance management of the RTA IS&T function would not occur, resulting in less than ideal cost management and risk exposure. In addition, the Rio Tinto Alcan VP IS&T would continue to be inadvertently pulled into detailed work on financial management, compliance requests and ad-hoc requests from Rio Tinto IS&T and other functions.
