- Organize and facilitate workshops with German-speaking business stakeholders, product owners, operations teams and technology representatives.
- Elicit, structure and document business requirements, functional requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows and target operating model inputs.
- Analyze front-to-back processes across areas such as order management, post-trade, settlement, custody, asset servicing, reporting, regulatory change, migration and operational readiness.
- Translate business requirements into clear delivery artefacts that can be understood by technology, testing, operations and project management teams.
- Support gap analysis, process optimization, business process redesign, controls definition and operating model improvements.
- Coordinate with technical teams on system interfaces, data flows, mappings, integration requirements and dependencies with external providers or internal platforms.
- Support test planning, UAT preparation, defect analysis, business acceptance and go-live readiness activities.
- Prepare clear status updates, decision materials and stakeholder communication in English and German.
- Contribute to a collaborative, quality-focused delivery culture and support junior team members where needed.
Skills and attributes for success
You will make an impact by combining senior business analysis discipline, German-language stakeholder management and practical understanding of Wealth & Asset Management / capital markets transformation. In particular, you will bring:
- Business analysis & delivery leadership: ability to lead requirements elicitation, structure complex business problems, facilitate workshops, document user stories / acceptance criteria, and translate business needs into clear delivery artefacts for technology, operations, testing and project teams.
- Financial services domain understanding: practical exposure to Wealth & Asset Management, banking or capital markets processes, ideally including front-to-back securities lifecycle, post-trade, settlement, custody, asset servicing, reporting, regulatory change, data migration, platform integration or operational readiness.
- German-speaking stakeholder communication: confidence working with German-speaking business and technology stakeholders, preparing high-quality documentation in English and German, and bridging business, technology and operations perspectives in international transformation environments.
To qualify for the role, you must have
- Several years of experience as a Business Analyst, Senior Business Analyst or Functional Analyst in financial services, preferably within Wealth & Asset Management, banking, capital markets, securities operations or post-trade transformation.
- Very good German and English language skills, with ability to facilitate workshops and prepare business-facing documentation in a German-speaking project environment.
- Experience in front-to-back process analysis, requirements management and delivery support across business, technology, operations and testing teams.
- Understanding of at least several relevant domains, such as securities lifecycle, settlement, custody, asset servicing, fund operations, portfolio management, risk, reporting, regulatory change, data migration, system integration or operational readiness.
