The Impact You Will Have in This Role

As a Senior Business Systems Analyst, you will play a key role in DTCC's modernization journey, helping transform critical Clearance & Settlement platforms that support the securities processing lifecycle. Working at the intersection of Business, Product, and Technology, you will analyze complex current-state systems, uncover opportunities for simplification, and help define future-state requirements that guide delivery teams through execution.

This role is ideal for a curious, analytical, and technology-minded professional who enjoys solving complex problems, navigating ambiguity, and connecting disparate pieces of information.

• Identify simplification, automation, and modernization opportunities across complex legacy environments.
• Translate business needs into clear functional specifications, process flows, workflow diagrams, use cases, and supporting documentation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to validate findings, challenge assumptions, and align on future-state solutions.
• Support Agile delivery by refining requirements, clarifying business logic, and ensuring development teams have the information needed for execution.
• Use SQL and data analysis techniques to investigate application behavior, validate requirements, and support decision-making.
• Lead workflow design discussions and contribute to user experience improvements where applicable.
• Review effort estimates, timelines, risks, and dependencies with project teams and stakeholders.
• Identify process gaps, control opportunities, and areas where automation can improve efficiency and reduce risk.
• Mentor junior team members by providing guidance on requirements analysis, documentation standards, and project delivery best practices.
• Create and maintain system documentation in alignment with company standards, governance practices, and risk/control expectations.

• 6-8+ years of experience as a Business Systems Analyst, Business Analyst, or similar role supporting complex technology initiatives.

Talent Needed for Success

• Strong experience gathering, analyzing, and documenting business and functional requirements.
• Experience working in Agile environments using Scrum, Kanban, Jira, or similar tools and methodologies.
• Strong SQL skills, including joins, unions, data analysis, and query troubleshooting.
• Experience working with relational databases such as Oracle or Db2.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, including Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, formulas, and data manipulation.
• Ability to work with multiple stakeholders to analyze business needs, document requirements, and drive alignment across teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complex concepts for both business and technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting modernization, transformation, or legacy platform migration initiatives.
• Familiarity with securities processing, clearance, settlement, or financial services operations.
