Location

The role supports one of our top-tier banking clients in London (Canary Wharf) and requires a minimum of three days on-site presence.

Core Skills & Experience

• Minimum 8 years of experience as a Business Analyst and/or Project Manager within banking or financial services.
• Strong understanding of banking operations and change delivery (front-to-back processes, controls, governance, and/or regulatory change).
• Proven experience running discovery workshops, managing stakeholders, and translating complex needs into actionable delivery artefacts.
• Strong delivery management capability: planning, tracking, reporting, and driving outcomes across multiple workstreams/pods.
• Experience working with cross-functional teams (Operations, Technology, Data, Risk, Compliance, Finance).
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, regulated environments with structured governance and audit expectations.
• Excellent communication skills (written and verbal) and strong documentation standards.

Delivery & Methodology

• Experience working in Agile/Scrum, Waterfall, or hybrid delivery models.
• Strong knowledge of typical BA/PM artefacts: process flows, user stories, requirements traceability, decision logs, RAID logs, test packs, and go-live checklists.
• Experience coordinating UAT end-to-end (test approach, test cases, execution support, defect triage, sign-off).
• Experience working in a factory-style model (intake, triage, prioritization, wave planning, and reporting) is a strong plus.

Nice-to-Have (Data Experience)

• Exposure to data-driven programs (data transformation, reporting, controls, data quality, lineage).
• Ability to work with data teams and understand basic concepts such as source-to-target mapping, reconciliation checks, lineage coverage, and reporting dependencies.
• Basic SQL literacy (able to query/validate data or understand query outputs) is a plus, not mandatory.
• Experience supporting operational or regulatory reporting processes is beneficial.

Main Tasks and Responsibilities

• Support remediation stand-up: pods model, intake process, tooling usage, and delivery routines.
• Conduct discovery workshops to define scope, stakeholders, business outcomes, remediation edge cases, and control expectations.
• Produce key artefacts: process maps, user stories, acceptance criteria, decision tables (where needed), and test cases.
• Drive delivery of quick-win remediation waves and track closure evidence.
• Maintain and report the controls gap assessment (prioritization, ownership, closure tracking, dependencies).
• Identify data sourcing gaps, coordinate SME sessions, and document and track the agreed closure plan.
• Support manual controls automation waves by defining requirements, coordinating testing, and ensuring sign-off readiness.
• Ensure catalogue lineage is populated and traceability coverage is measurable and reported.
• Manage the delivery plan and backlog; drive prioritization and ensure alignment with remediation goals.
• Track and manage RAID; escalate blockers and coordinate resolution across teams.
• Facilitate governance routines: daily stand-ups, sprint ceremonies, stakeholder check-ins, and steering updates.
• Lead UAT preparation and execution; coordinate defect triage and ensure sign-off readiness.
• Support implementation planning, cutover readiness, and post-go-live stabilization.
• Maintain traceability from requirements → delivery → testing → sign-off → evidence.
• Produce an audit-ready documentation pack including decision logs, test packs, control mappings, traceability evidence, and approvals.
