Key Responsibilities

1.

Requirements Gathering and Business Analysis

Engage with business stakeholders across Front Office, Middle Office, Back Office, Finance, Risk, and Regulatory Reporting teams to capture and document reporting, data extraction, and information delivery requirements.

Translate business requirements into clear, structured functional requirements, user stories, and use cases for delivery by the vendor.

Develop a strong conceptual understanding of Murex reporting capabilities to ensure requirements align with current platform functionality.

Perform impact analysis across reports, extracts, interfaces, and downstream data consumers.

2.

Vendor

Liaison and Solution Coordination

Act as the primary liaison between business users and the vendor, ensuring requirements are clearly communicated, understood, and implemented correctly.

Facilitate requirement walkthroughs, clarifications, and design discussions between stakeholders and vendor teams.

Review vendor-proposed solutions and validate alignment with business reporting requirements, data definitions, and operational processes.

Ensure traceability between requirements, vendor deliverables, and business outcomes.

3.

Functional Domain

Support (Working Knowledge)

Maintain a working understanding of key reporting areas to support discussions, requirement definition, and validation:

SQL and data query concepts

Data mapping

Management, Operational, Risk, Finance, and Regulatory Reporting

Use this knowledge to challenge requirements, identify gaps, and ensure completeness rather than performing hands-on development or report configuration.

4.

Track defects, ensure proper triage, and maintain requirement-to-test traceability.

Validate that delivered functionality meets business expectations, while business users retain ownership of execution.

5.

Stakeholder

Communication

Serve as the central communication point across business stakeholders, vendor teams, and internal technology teams.

Manage requirement sign-offs, testing readiness checkpoints, and change communication.

Clearly communicate impacts, dependencies, risks, and timelines to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Facilitate discussions regarding data sourcing, report ownership, and report consumption requirements.
