Senior Business Analyst, FinOps

Description

We are looking for a detail-oriented professional to define, document, and optimize business processes and end-to-end transaction workflows.

• Requirements Gathering: Collaborate with business stakeholders to elicit, validate, and document functional and operational requirements — including performance, scalability, and reliability standards — that drive process design.
• Design Document Review: Engage with Process Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and Technology teams to obtain assurance that the Technology High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD) documents align with defined business processes, transaction flows, and functional requirements — ensuring that proposed solutions accurately reflect business intent before development begins.
• Process Optimization: Identify inefficiencies, redundancies, and gaps in existing workflows and recommend improvements to enhance operational effectiveness.
• Stakeholder Communication: Serve as the liaison between business units and technology teams, translating business needs into structured process documentation that guides solution development.
• Feasibility & Risk Review: Assess proposed process and system changes for operational risk, scalability, and compliance considerations, ensuring decisions are sound and future-ready.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with product, operations, and technology teams throughout the project life/cycle to validate process designs and support successful implementation.
• Documentation & Governance: Maintain up-to-date process documentation, workflow diagrams, and transaction models in accordance with organizational standards.
