Job description

Overview

This is a remote role that may only be hired in North Carolina.

The Senior Business Systems Analyst (BSA) role in Wealth Management plays a dynamic, high-impact hybrid role at the intersection of product strategy, stakeholder management, business analysis, digital transformation, and project leadership. This senior-level position partners closely with executive stakeholders to lead the definition, design, and delivery of complex Wealth Management technology initiatives.

We are looking for a confident self-starter who operates with minimal direction, thrives in ambiguity, wears multiple hats, and understands how to translate strategy into actionable delivery. The ideal candidate combines a Product Manager’s vision, a Project Manager’s structure, a UX Analyst’s empathy, and a BSA’s technical depth.

• Translate unstructured needs into well-formed epics, user stories, process flows, and acceptance criteria.
• Represent front-line advisors by gathering feedback and conducting usability walkthroughs.

Process Mapping & Strategic Facilitation

• Lead cross-functional teams—including senior business, architecture, and technology stakeholders—through structured mapping sessions.
• Create and align on end-to-end concept architectures, business workflow diagrams, and system interaction flows.
• Drive clarity and consensus around future-state solutions and process enhancements.

Project Leadership & Execution

• Act as a driver for project execution—monitoring progress, managing risks, and clearing roadblocks.
• Coordinate across business, technology, and vendor teams to ensure timely, aligned delivery.
• Adjust roles dynamically based on project needs—whether leading meetings, documenting flows, or QA testing.

Stakeholder Management & Communication

• Build trusted relationships with senior business leaders, ensuring alignment on scope, timeline, and priorities.
• Provide executive-ready updates, influence decision-making, and bring clarity in complex discussions.

Mentorship & Leadership

• Set the tone for quality, initiative, and ownership on project teams.
• Mentor junior analysts and promote a culture of proactive problem-solving and continuous improvement.
• Serve as the go-to subject matter expert for Wealth Management platforms and data analytics.
