About The Position

TalentBridge is partnering with a leading financial services organization to hire a Financial Operations & Quality Control Analyst. The role supports an established operations team during a systems modernization initiative and focuses on internal operations, reporting, quality control, account processing, and data analysis—not customer service or sales. The initial assignment is expected to last at least six months, with strong potential for extension and possible consideration for permanent employment. The analyst will support daily financial operations, account maintenance, and transaction processing; review and process account documentation and operational records; and extract, organize, and analyze operational reports in Microsoft Excel. The role involves reviewing quality control reports, identifying and investigating errors or discrepancies, helping resolve issues accurately and on time, validating processed information, and maintaining compliance with operational procedures. The analyst will also help improve workflows and support multiple processing functions as business needs evolve. The position is based in the St. Louis, Missouri area. Candidates must work onsite during initial training; afterward, the schedule is hybrid, with three days onsite and two remote per week. Work hours are Monday through Friday during standard business hours. The assignment is full-time, contract, and expected to last at least six months, with potential extension and possible permanent employment.
