What is the opportunity?

Join our Strategic Initiatives & Infrastructure team within Wealth Management Global Credit & Banking Solutions, where you'll be the bridge between business vision and technical reality. As a Senior Business Systems Analyst, you'll partner with leadership to execute ambitious initiatives that transform our global credit data infrastructure and reporting capabilities. This role demands both deep technical expertise and sharp business acumen-you'll work across regions to untangle complexity, standardize processes, and deliver solutions that drive real impact. If you're energized by solving intricate data and infrastructure challenges, thrive when collaborating across business and technology teams, and love building consensus on the toughest problems, this is your opportunity to shape how we operate.

  • Create global consistency-develop and implement standardized reporting logic that works seamlessly across platforms, decoupling platform-specific implementations so teams can work more efficiently.
  • Map the ecosystem-trace integration logic and data flows to surface inconsistencies and cross-domain dependencies; analyze global platforms to create capability maps that reveal duplication and regional variations.
  • Understand what's needed-elicit both business and technical requirements, conduct impact analysis, and identify how changes impact across and downstream.
  • Translate between worlds-convert business capabilities into technical platform requirements, recommending smart options for consolidation, simplification, and clear system boundaries.
  • Partner for success-work hand-in-hand with business, Data and Technology teams to validate requirements, provide support during solution design and development, and guide testing phases to ensure delivery.
  • Bridge current and future-perform gap analysis between where we are and where we want to be, recommending solutions that balance client experience, cost, and risk through rigorous cost/benefit review.
  • Navigate governance with confidence-support and manage required governance and risk reviews (SRMAs, PRAs, DRAs, IRPs, etc.) to keep initiatives on solid ground.


What do you need to succeed?

Must-have (What you'll bring)

  • Expert skills in requirements planning, prioritization, and elicitation techniques-plus the ability to drive consensus across global stakeholders with competing priorities.
  • Strong understanding of IT systems and business process integration and consolidation-you know how to make complex systems work together.
  • Data skills-able to interrogate large data sets and break down complex ecosystems into clear capabilities, flows, and maps.
  • Creative problem-solver-strong ability to collaborate effectively and deliver distinctive, impactful, and sustainable solutions that teams trust.


Nice-to-have
  • Experience optimizing banking, credit underwriting, collateral monitoring, or loan servicing processes-especially for HNW and UHNW clients.
  • Familiarity with data mesh and domain-driven design concepts, plus enterprise integration patterns.
  • Experience on large-scale transformation projects spanning multiple jurisdictions or time zones.
  • Knowledge of Business Process Reengineering methodologies like Lean Six Sigma.

We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper.
