About the Role: We are seeking a detail-oriented, self-sufficient Business Analyst to join our AML (Anti-Money Laundering) portfolio team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, data-driven environment and can work independently to gather requirements, analyze data, and support application enhancements.

• Conduct data profiling and write SQL queries to validate and interpret large datasets (millions of records).
• Identify data gaps, logic mismatches, and edge cases; propose solutions or workarounds.
• Participate in meetings with vendors and internal teams to clarify requirements and system behavior.
• Maintain strong documentation practices, including meeting minutes, change logs, and requirement traceability.

Must-Have Skills:

• Business Analysis: Strong experience in requirement gathering, documentation, and stakeholder communication.
