Business Analyst Finance Transformation (Leading Financial Institution) - J12518

A leading global financial institution is recruiting a product owner to join a strategic technology transformation focused on modernizing valuation, performance, and reporting capabilities for its most sophisticated clients. This role moves beyond traditional project coordination—you will concentrate on system logic, end-to-end data lineage, and financial accuracy as the team transitions from legacy batch processing to real‑time positioning.

What youll do

1. Own the functional design and business rules for the Portfolio Accounting Engine, including P&L attribution, lifecycle events, and performance calculations for complex instruments (derivatives, cash equities, fixed income).
2. Map and validate data flows from trading systems through middle- and back-office processes to client statements; identify and resolve data quality and timing issues to ensure numbers presented to clients are correct and timely.
3. Translate nuanced accounting and reconciliation requirements into well-scoped, testable user stories and acceptance criteria for an Agile engineering squad.
4. Support testing, validation, and release activities to confirm the production behavior matches the agreed logic and data lineage.

Key challenges

1. Converting legacy batch-oriented calculations to real-time position and P&L models while preserving regulatory and client-facing accuracy.
2. Ensuring full traceability and reconciliation of data across multiple source systems and transformation layers.
3. Balancing technical constraints with business requirements in an Agile delivery environment.

Qualifications

1. 8-10 years as a Business Analyst, Product Owner, or Project Lead within Financial Services—preferably Wealth Management, Asset Management, or Institutional Banking.
2. Strong understanding of financial instruments and trade lifecycle (how bonds work, trade flow, P&L calculation).
3. Background in Product Control, Fund Accounting or Finance Change is highly advantageous.
4. Curious and hands-on — you enjoy investigating data discrepancies and can clearly explain the “why” behind a calculation.
5. Comfortable writing user stories, defining acceptance criteria, and working within a cross-functional squad.
6. Able to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and to challenge assumptions constructively.
7. Degree in Finance, Business, or IT. CFA or CPA is a plus.
