12 Months
Techniche are working with a large Global Financial Institution who are seeking an experienced Business Analyst for an initial 12 month assignment.
This role will be supporting a range of Products across Banking Operations which could range from Account Opening, Client Onboarding, through to regulatory implementation platforms and applications.
Summary briefing:
* This role is essentially to run projects and deliver products within the bank
* The focus of the product delivery team is business change and this role will be bringing together various areas to ensure all stake holders are working seamlessly together e.g. IT, Banking operations etc
* Custody knowledge will be essential; Global Custody or Local custody (DCC)
* This role will form a pool of Business Analysts and could be assigned to one of many projects within the product portfolio that the bank is working on
* Strong BA skills are essential: Writing requirements, user stories, test cases, tracking etc
* There are elements of Project Management, but it really is a pure BA role getting stuck in to understanding the requirements, writing stories etc
* Need to be able to engage with top level stakeholders within the bank, asking accurate and defined questions (straight to the point with good focus)
* It will be important to understand the technical side of the IT implementation, but not at such a detailed level as programming etc. Just understand the concept of the IT technical implementation, the navigation etc
* Experience is testing will be required (this will be managed externally but must have knowledge)
* All projects are about automation, automating the user flow
* In summary this BA will have 2 key areas. 1st is the requirements and info gathering. 2nd is the UAT and systems testing.
* This role requires a BA with a business change and process interrogation background. Not a BA that has come from a technical IT background.
* Essential to be able to ask the right questions and join the dots
* This role will be home based initially but as restrictions lift it will require time spent in Edinburgh every week
Experience Required:
* Strong background & knowledge of Post Trade – Security Services.
* Previous experience of implementing change within a Global Custodian (preferred).
* Bachelor degree and 1–5 years of practical experience in business analyst roles.
* Experience of working with internal IT teams as well as external vendors for system changes.
* Experience in delivering complex business and IT system related changes and documenting business / functional requirements.
* Ability to manage ambiguity and work to bring clarity to requirements by effectively engaging clients or partners.
* Strong documentation skills for functional specifications and / or presentations to clients.
* Sound understanding of IT infrastructure and software development lifecycle in the context of system changes.

* Sound understanding of IT infrastructure and software development lifecycle in the context of system changes. Problem solving and critical thinking. Experience of working in environments with digital and data technologies is highly desirable (but not essential).
