The Business Analyst Specialist is primarily responsible for managing the delivery and support of medium-to-complex regulatory AML & Compliance technology solutions for Global Compliance & AML PMO to meet business and operational needs.

Is this role right for you? In this role, you will:

• Independently resolve complex, multi-faceted problems to meet the business needs related to the project by applying industry, technology, and regulatory knowledge to the design of methodologies, models, and/or systems solutions.

This includes conducting research and analysis, accurately and clearly defining user requirements/stories and processes, and consulting with the users or their representatives.
• Lead, from a Business Analysis perspective, multiple small projects and/or specific sections of large projects to implement solutions to business problems. Support the Project Manager in developing detailed project plans, monitoring progress against planned objectives, and securing consensus and cooperation from users and senior management.
• Plan/coordinate the development and implementation of requirements (analysis, design, development, testing, roll-out). Provide guidance for the implementation of requirements as required and align with the project team if needed.
• Confirm the validity and accuracy of requirements and follow up with stakeholders as required.
• Participate in the systems implementation process by defining business requirements and processes, and/or reviewing test strategies and test cases, documenting user procedures and workflows, developing conversion and implementation strategies and plans, providing user documentation, providing user training, transitioning to steady state, and providing post-implementation support.
• Ensure the timely and accurate completion of projects through participation in the production of implementation strategies and presentation of proposed changes.
