About The Position

The Business Analyst (Payments / Fiserv SME) is responsible for providing deep subject matter expertise in Fiserv payment processor data, including detailed understanding of Fiserv data fields, coded values, transaction flows, business rules, and mapping logic. This role serves as the primary functional lead for interpreting processor data and translating it into clear business rules, mappings, KPI definitions, and implementation-ready functional specifications. This individual is expected to play a critical role in bridging the gap between raw Fiserv source data and the target canonical / semantic design, working closely with the Data Architect, Solution Lead, and client stakeholders to ensure that processor-specific logic is accurately understood, documented, and translated for downstream implementation. Deep hands-on knowledge of Fiserv processor data structures and field-level usage is a core requirement for this role.
