The role involves reviewing documentation, identifying gaps, and engaging stakeholders to fill in the missing pieces.
Its a hands-on, investigative role and would suit a BA who enjoys digging into detail, asking the right questions, and making sense of complex information.
Key Responsibilities
- Review and interpret model and data documentation
- Identify gaps in data definitions, lineage, ownership and controls
- Engage stakeholders across Finance, Risk and Data to gather missing information
- Map end-to-end data flows into models
- Support the creation of structured outputs (data dictionaries, lineage views, documentation)
- Analyse model artefacts (often Excel-based) to understand data inputs and transformations
Key Requirements
- Strong Business Analyst experience within financial services
- Experience working with: Data lineage / data mapping / data documentation and experience withFinance or Risk models
- Ability to work with incomplete or messy information and apply logical thinking
- Confident stakeholder engagement, able to ask questions and challenge where needed
- Understanding of model data, data flows and transformations
- Previous experience within a large-scalebanking environment
