Responsibilities

• Lead requirements work packages for large-scale, strategic, and regulatory programs; provide oversight and governance across team pods to standardize documentation.
• Develop delivery approaches and work plans aligned with project milestones, constraints, and dependencies.
• Estimate, forecast, and manage requirements efforts, including timelines, resources, and cross-project interdependencies.
• Establish quality assurance processes to ensure captured requirements are complete, concise, compliant with standards, and fully testable.
• Facilitate stakeholder engagement to achieve consensus, final agreements, and formal sign-offs on key deliverables.
• Assess project change requests for impact on objectives, technology, customer experience, and budgets.
• Identify, document, and validate current state processes, helping business partners define problems and formulate effective solution strategies.
• Conduct data analysis work packages, including source-to-target mapping, data lineage, and data quality validation.
• Identify and manage project risks and issues, escalating to senior management as appropriate.

Qualifications

• Experience: 8 to 10+ years of dedicated Business Analysis experience within the Financial Services industry, utilizing both Agile and Waterfall methodologies.
• AML & Regulatory Domain Expertise: Strong working knowledge of Anti‑Money Laundering (AML) concepts, including Know Your Customer (KYC), Customer Due Diligence (CDD), and regulatory reporting (FINTRAC, LCTR, STR).
• Technical & Data Proficiency: Proven experience with transaction monitoring, customer risk rating applications, data mapping, data lineage, and data modeling.
• Tooling: Proficient with MS Office Suite (Teams, Excel, Visio, PowerPoint, Project), SharePoint, JIRA, and Confluence.
• Leadership & Communication: Exceptional stakeholder management, relationship‑building, and written/verbal communication skills; proven ability to lead other analysts and articulate complex business needs.
