Job Description
G MASS is partnered with a leading Tier 1 Investment Bank, currently undertaking a significant re-platforming of its collateral management infrastructure. The programme involves replacing a legacy vendor solution with a new in-house platform, with a strong focus on controls, exception management and operational workflow redesign.
This role will provide hands-on Business Analysis and subject matter expertise to support the platform change, working closely with Technology, Operations and Compliance stakeholders to translate business requirements into functional design.
Responsibilities
- Lead business requirements gathering for collateral workflows, controls, exception management and platform onboarding across the re-platforming programme
- Conduct gap analysis between the new platform build and current production processes, identifying and resolving operational and control breaks
- Define expected collateral processing logic and validate outputs independently, providing sign-off before Technology implements
- Support design reviews and contribute to the future-state collateral architecture in partnership with Technology, Operations and Compliance
- Develop and execute test scenarios covering key collateral workflows, margin call processing, dispute handling and exception management
- Interpret and apply collateral-related regulatory and operational obligations to the firm's data model and system design
- Produce structured status updates and maintain clear, milestone-driven delivery plans for senior stakeholder reporting
- Support BAU collateral queries and issue resolution as required, on a secondary basis to programme delivery
- Produce documentation covering control ownership, business requirements and implementation readiness
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
