We are looking for a Technical Business Analyst - Treasury, Accounting & Risk RUN

Analyze production incidents and client requests affecting treasury, accounting, liquidity or risk applications. Give developers clear analyses of bug fixes and business changes. Improve data consistency, processing controls and support procedures so that calculations and reports are reliable and available on time.

Responsibilities Understand financial processing and investigate data issues

• Investigate discrepancies in accounting entries, positions, cash flows, risk calculations or liquidity indicators. Clarify expected results and business impacts with the relevant users;
• Follow data from the core banking system through file extracts, database imports, calculations and reports. Use SQL, logs and processing results to find missing records or incorrect transformations;
• Document the issue for developers: steps to reproduce it, expected and actual results, affected data, likely cause and business impact;

Support incidents and process continuity

• Prioritize tickets by business impact and processing deadlines. Coordinate investigations with business users, developers, Production and database specialists;
• Keep client banks informed of investigation progress, available workarounds and resolution, in English and, where possible, in French;
• Help plan batch restarts or data reloads with Production and database specialists. Check completeness, duplicates, financial totals and downstream calculations after recovery;
• Review recurring incidents and client requests to identify causes and improvements that prevent the same issues from returning.

Prepare analyses for developers and validate changes

• Translate incidents and business requests into specifications covering calculation rules, accounting behavior, data transformations and interfaces. Provide developers with examples and acceptance criteria;
• Define acceptance tests and regression tests, check results with business users and verify application behavior after deployment;
• Maintain test datasets and expected results for accounting closing, cash flows, risk calculations and liquidity indicators. Check that fixes preserve the consistency of related outputs.

Improve support processes, controls and efficiency

• Maintain investigation guides, known-issue records, data-flow documentation and recovery procedures. Share knowledge of the financial applications with the support team;
• Propose checks for missing files, rejected or duplicated records, delayed jobs and inconsistent financial calculations. Improve reconciliation and processing controls;
• Agree improvement priorities with business users, developers and Production; follow actions through to completion and check their operational benefit.
• Use SQL queries, job logs, import counts and existing scripts to make investigations repeatable. Identify ways to simplify data checks and reduce manual support work.

Requirements: The main requirements are knowledge of one relevant financial domain, practical SQL, production-support experience and clear analysis for developers. Expertise across every financial domain or programming language is not required. Specialist database and financial-model topics are handled with the relevant teams.

• 5+ years in banking application support, technical business analysis or a comparable role in treasury, accounting, liquidity or risk systems. Relevant degree or equivalent professional experience;
• Strong knowledge of at least one area: treasury, accounting, liquidity or risk operations. Ability to investigate calculations and reconcile results, with support from business specialists for related domains;
• Practical SQL skills on IBM DB2 or Microsoft SQL Server: queries, joins, comparisons and checks on imported data. Experience with one database is sufficient to start;
• Ability to follow calculation and data-processing logic with developers. Experience investigating COBOL or C# / .NET applications, or a comparable banking system, is relevant;
• Experience documenting defects and business changes for developers, following them through to resolution and validating results with business users;
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, ownership and clear communication with technical and business audiences. Fluent English is required.

Nice to Have

• Experience with core banking, treasury, accounting, liquidity or risk-management applications;
• Exposure to T-SQL data imports, Access / Excel / VBA, or a second database or application language beyond the main area of expertise;
• Experience with treasury-system interfaces such as Kondor+, or comparable financial-file and market-data feeds;
• Familiarity with TWS or another batch scheduler, accounting closing processes, liquidity ratios or test automation;
• French language skills, particularly for communication with client banks.
