The role requires strong analytical, organizational, and stakeholder-management skills across global business and technology

Qualifications

BS/BA in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Information Systems, Data Management, or a related field; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
5 to 7 years of relevant financial services experience, preferably in Security Master, reference data, middle office, client onboarding, implementation, conversion, or business analysis.
A master’s degree or relevant business analysis, project management, data management, or Agile certification is a plus, but not required.

Responsibilities

Analyze client Security Master requirements, operating models, security populations, and source data structures.
Lead requirement-gathering sessions and document business, functional, data, control, and non-functional requirements.
Define source-to-target mapping, transformation, enrichment, defaulting, exception-handling, and validation requirements.
Develop and review mapping specifications that describe Security Master and reference data flows from client legacy systems to target applications.
Support end‑to‑end solution design and partner with Product and Technology SMEs to clarify target data models, system functionality, integrations, and operational controls.
Analyze data quality, completeness, referential integrity, tolerances, classifications, and consistency across systems.
Support test strategy, scenario development, data preparation, readiness assessments, reconciliation, defect analysis, and entry and exit criteria.
Investigate data and process issues, perform root‑cause analysis, coordinate remediation, and document decisions and outcomes.
Partner with Implementation, Conversion, Product, Technology, Operations, testing teams, and clients to document requirements, test evidence, defects, resolutions, and implementation outcomes.
Coordinate Security Master support for dry runs, dress rehearsals, cutover, go‑live, and post‑production stabilization, including occasional weekend or off‑hours activity.
Build and maintain integrated work plans, milestone schedules, deliverable trackers, RAID logs, decision logs, dependency registers, and action‑item trackers.
Monitor progress against milestones, identify scope or schedule variance, and drive timely escalation and recovery actions.
Prepare status reporting covering accomplishments, upcoming activities, risks, issues, dependencies, decisions, and leadership support required.
Facilitate working sessions, governance meetings, readiness reviews, and checkpoint calls; publish agendas, minutes, actions, owners, and due dates.
Maintain complete, current, and audit‑ready project documentation in approved repositories.
Support scope, change, resource, and cross‑workstream dependency management while reinforcing agreed governance standards.
Serve as a client‑facing Security Master contact for requirements, solutioning, issue management, readiness, and delivery activities.
Support transition to business as usual through knowledge transfer, operating procedures, open‑item tracking, and stabilization reporting.
During normal day‑to‑day operations, identify unusual or potentially suspicious transaction activity and report or elevate it in accordance with corporate policy and relevant operating procedures.
Perform other duties as assigned.
