Business Analyst – Enterprise Data Management; EDM Instrument Data Focus

UBP includes a critical department dedicated to the management of financial instruments the bank trades across both its asset management and its wealth management businesses.

For this purpose, the Gresham OPUS EDM cloud based solution is currently in deployment across the whole group, replacing the in-house Instrument Database. In this transition, implementation quality is paramount to maintain the expected support service levels.

We’re seeking a Business Analyst with strong Enterprise Data Management (EDM) experience, specializing in Instrument/Reference Data. The ideal candidate blends deep business/domain knowledge (security master, pricing, corporate actions, classifications) with solid technical skills to analyze requirements, translate them into robust solution designs, and partner with operational teams to deliver scalable data capabilities across the enterprise.

• Act as an SME on EDM Production activities, to support the business counterparts in their daily activities around Instrument Data Management.
• Engage with stakeholders (Front Office, Risk, Operations, Finance) to capture and prioritize requirements related to instrument data life cycles.
• Produce end-to-end technical solution designs for EDM capabilities (ingestion, mastering, validation, enrichment, distribution).
• Manage sourcing strategy and vendor onboarding (e.g., Bloomberg, Refinitiv, ICE/S&P), including entitlement and feed configurations.

• Solid experience with one or more EDM platforms or security master solutions (e.g., Golden Source, Markit EDM/Smart Mart, Neo Xam Data Hub, Sim Corp, Aladdin Data, or in-house)
• Ability to produce technical solution designs: logical/physical data models, API specs (REST/GraphQL), message schemas (JSON/Avro/XML), interface contracts.
• Proficient in SQL for profiling, lineage, and Data quality analysis; comfort with query optimization and large datasets.
• Familiarity with data integration tools and patterns and orchestration tools (CTRL-m).
• Experience with cloud computing, Dev Sec Ops, and automation tools is a plus.
