Senior/Lead Business Analyst – Asset Management

About the role

Client is seeking an experienced Senior/Lead Business Analyst with a strong background in Asset and Investment Management to lead complex analysis workstreams across Business, Operations, Data, and Technology. This is a hands‑on role for a mature, analytical BA who can independently drive analysis from problem definition through to an implementable solution — not a requirements‑documentation role.

Key responsibilities

• Lead requirements elicitation, analysis and management across business, operations and technology stakeholders.
• Translate complex business needs into clear, implementable business and functional requirements.
• Define business rules, validations, controls and exception scenarios.
• Perform data requirements analysis, data mapping and define system and integration requirements.
• Conduct impact, dependency and gap analysis and maintain requirements traceability.
• Facilitate stakeholder workshops, define acceptance criteria, support UAT and lead business validation.

Required profile

• 8–12+ years of Business Analysis experience, preferably within Asset/Investment Management.
• Proven ability to lead complex analysis across Business, Operations, Data and Technology independently.
• Strong stakeholder management and workshop facilitation skills.
• Experience with portfolio management, accounting, investment operations, trade lifecycle and performance measurement.

Required skills

• Hands‑on experience with platforms such as Advent APX, SimCorp, Charles River, Aladdin, Bloomberg AIM or FactSet.
• Strong data analysis capabilities; SQL proficiency is desirable.
• Deep knowledge of asset/investment management processes and terminology.
