Description

The purpose of this senior role is to provide business expertise and analysis in the service of the global Wealth Management group in a business analysis, project management and product owner capacity. In this role, the senior director will use their business experience to provide high-level context to other senior business leaders on Wealth Management projects. This is in contrast to other BA roles, in which the analyst is focussed on one particular project and the incumbent details for specification and testing. The senior director will also utilise their direct work experience to build relationships with the Wealth and Front Office business so that the requirements definition cycle is shortened, issues are identified or understood quickly, and test cases are as effective and efficient as possible.

In essence, we are looking for a Senior Director who can work in a hybrid BA/COO capacity for the entire global portfolio of programs across the Wealth business. This is both a ‘hands on’ and a strategic leadership role which will include 360 assessment and direction of your peer group and senior interaction with the business and organizational leadership.

 

Primary Objectives:

  • Develop and maintain relationships with the client base for all assigned projects.
  • Take over and fix red projects/programs.
  • Communicate business issues and medium-to-high level requirements to other BA’s and project/program managers on assigned projects.
  • Ensure that all the group’s deliverable documents (Business Requirements Doc, Functional Specifications, and System Requirements Specifications) are of high quality and in line with the project objectives.
  • Provide mentoring and knowledge transfer for senior wealth group members.
  • Provide informal and formal assessments of the group’s work output including peer group.
  • Assist other Directors and VPs with overall management of the Global Group.

Required Skills:

  • At least 10 years of experience in complex IT projects as a Business Analyst or Business SME.
  • 5- 8 years Wealth Management project experience as a BA or Wealth Management business domain experience.
  • 6+ years of experience working in a major transformation initiative ie analysis including requirements definition, feasibility studies, cost estimates, proposals, business process mapping, design, development, quality assurance, user acceptance testing and implementation.
  • 5+ years in a strategic leadership capacity.
  • 3+ years of experience in Agile delivery methodology.
