Responsibilities

Lead business analysis and requirements management for assigned Liquidity modernization workstreams, from discovery and current-state assessment through design, testing, implementation, and post-production validation.
Partner with Treasury subject-matter experts to define an FR 2052a-first data foundation that can support FR 2052a, LCR, NSFR, liquidity stress testing, forecasting, intraday monitoring, FTP, CFP/KRI monitoring, and liquidity analytics.
Translate business, regulatory, and control expectations into complete, testable requirements for modular calculation services, governed data assets, interfaces, workflow, adjustments, auditability, lineage, and sandbox or what-if capabilities.

Develop and maintain end-to-end process maps, data-flow diagrams, business rules, data dictionaries, source-to-target mappings, functional specifications, requirements traceability, decision logs, and operating procedures.
Serve as the primary business liaison to technology and data teams, clarifying requirements, resolving design questions, evaluating dependencies, and ensuring delivered solutions remain aligned with intended business outcomes and control requirements.
Use SQL and analytical techniques to profile data, validate transformation logic, reconcile results, trace defects to source, assess materiality, and support resolution of data or system issues.
Define the business testing strategy and acceptance criteria; coordinate test planning, test data, UAT execution, defect prioritization, evidence retention, and business readiness and sign-off.
Support phased delivery by helping define the pilot product or data domain, validating the complete source-to-target flow, capturing lessons learned, and establishing repeatable onboarding patterns for additional products and data sources.
Ensure modernization work remains coordinated with legacy platform enhancements, regulatory changes, new products, production support, and compensating controls needed during the transition period.
Identify opportunities to reduce spreadsheets, manual adjustments, duplicated logic, and key-person dependency while improving scalability, transparency, speed to market, operational resilience, and regulatory readiness.
