• Define the future-state Target Operating Model (TOM) for implementation and steady-state operations, including detailed RACI matrices for program, product, and data governance, and interaction models across business and technology teams.
• Drive integration planning with Risk and Compliance systems, including AI-enabled modules, to enhance automation and data intelligence.
• Assist in project management activities including project & milestone planning, resourcing, budgeting, identifying and managing risks/issues/dependencies and preparing stakeholder decks

• 5+ years of experience as a Business Analyst in large-scale, enterprise-level projects.
• Experience in the highly regulated Global Risk & Controls (GRC) sector/domain for systems implementation and support.
• Hands-on experience with GRC platforms such as ServiceNow IRM, IBM OpenPages, or similar.
• Proven experience working on technology migration or transformation projects.
• Experience with project governance, stakeholder engagement, and change management.
• Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
