As a Senior Business Systems Analyst, you will play a key role in delivering business and technology transformation initiatives for Banking & Capital Markets clients. You will lead analysis activities for banking platform implementation, modernization, migration, integration, and enhancement initiatives, translating business needs into implementable platform requirements and partnering with product owners, platform vendors, architects, developers, testers, data teams, operations professionals, and client stakeholders across the delivery lifecycle.

This role requires banking domain knowledge, hands-on banking platform experience, structured business analysis, technical understanding, and delivery discipline.

• Lead requirements elicitation and analysis for banking platform projects and transformation initiatives.
• Facilitate stakeholder interviews, discovery sessions, requirements workshops, fit-gap assessments, process-design sessions, platform demonstrations, and solution-validation meetings.
• Document current-state and future-state processes, functional and nonfunctional requirements, user stories, use cases, acceptance criteria, business rules, platform configurations, data flows, and system interactions.
• Translate banking business and operational requirements into detailed functional specifications that platform, engineering, integration, and testing teams can implement.
• Evaluate requirements for clarity, completeness, feasibility, traceability, dependencies, and alignment with business objectives and platform capabilities.
• Perform fit-gap analysis across business requirements, out-of-the-box platform capabilities, configurable features, customization requirements, and integration dependencies.
• Lead business and system analysis activities for core banking modernization, digital banking transformation, platform replacement, product migration, and banking technology transformation programs, translating objectives into platform capabilities, functional requirements, and target-state operating processes.
• Define and document requirements for platform migration and data conversion initiatives, including source-to-target mapping, business rules, reconciliation requirements, data-validation controls, cutover planning, migration testing, and post-conversion verification.
• Analyze and document system integration requirements across core banking platforms, digital channels, payment hubs, lending systems, customer onboarding platforms, CRM systems, data warehouses, and downstream reporting applications.
• Support banking platform implementation and modernization programs by evaluating platform capabilities, identifying configuration versus customization requirements, and recommending scalable solutions aligned with business, operational, and technology objectives.
• Partner with platform vendors, product specialists, solution architects, engineering teams, and business stakeholders to evaluate and validate proposed solutions.
• Analyze APIs and interfaces, including REST services, JSON or XML payloads, validations, error handling, integration dependencies, and business-process impacts.
• Perform source-to-target data mapping, conversion analysis, data-lineage analysis, data validation, reconciliation, migration support, and implementation-readiness activities.
• Manage requirements traceability throughout discovery, design, development, testing, conversion, implementation, and post-production support.
• Support backlog refinement, estimation, sprint planning, release readiness, defect triage, production validation, and continuous-improvement activities.
• Define business scenarios, acceptance criteria, test conditions, and expected outcomes; support SIT, UAT, regression testing, and end-to-end testing.
• Mentor junior analysts, review deliverables for quality and completeness, and contribute to reusable templates, accelerators, and business-analysis best practices.

Candidates must have hands-on experience supporting one or more banking platform implementation, modernization, migration, integration, conversion, or enhancement initiatives. General awareness or conceptual understanding of banking platforms alone is not sufficient.
