Role Summary:

The Business Analyst in the First Line Assurance (FLA) department will play a critical role in supporting the implementation and enhancement of risk management frameworks within a regulated financial services environment.

The core of the Business Analyst's role is to adjudicate on front line approval requests; to assist with the Product Governance process and to assist the Director of Wealth Management on key strategic initiatives and other project-based work.

  • Prepare management reports.
  • Maintain accurate records of all assurance policies and procedures.
  • Provide guidance and support to business units on compliance and risk-related matters.
  • Has a "can do" attitude to change.
  • Experienced at analysing complex data and processes and an ability to identify key risks and trends.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present findings and recommendations clearly to stakeholders.
  • Proven ability to build strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels of the organization.

Requirements:
