Corporate Audit Services Organization Overview
Corporate Audit Services (CAS) is an independent, objective audit and consulting function driven by a commitment to add value and enhance the operations of Eli Lilly and Company. CAS's mission is to support the company in achieving its objectives by employing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.
Position Description
This position builds and delivers best-in-class, end-to-end analytics solutions on Microsoft Fabric, the foundation of the CAS data platform. Working across the full lifecycle, from data engineering, warehousing, and ELT through semantic models, Power BI, and Fabric apps, the individual creates and evolves a portfolio of Fabric solutions that turn CAS data into trusted, self-service intelligence.
A core focus is building AI Ready Semantic Models, the governed, contextual data layer that grounds Claude and AI agents in trusted CAS data. Partnering directly with CAS audit teams and stakeholders, the individual translates business needs into working solutions, drives efforts to completion, and grows adoption across the function, delivering high-quality, well-governed solutions within the CAS data architecture and data engine standards.
The individual also helps innovate how CAS builds and automates, leveraging Claude Code and beginning to apply agentic frameworks to accelerate development and automate CAS audit and Data Analytics operations. Above all, this is a hands-on builder who thrives on a team of doers, collaborates openly, sets and evolves standards alongside peers, and partners across Finance and the broader Lilly organization to deliver where it creates the most value.
Success in this role is as much about how the work gets done as what gets built. This is a highly collaborative, hands-on team of builders who share openly, support one another, and put the team's success first. The individual brings an ownership mindset and a high personal bar, communicates with clarity and empathy, stays humble and curious, and builds trust across CAS and its partners, contributing to a positive culture where people do their best work.
