A leading financial services organisation is seeking an experienced Senior Business Analyst to support a large-scale regulatory transformation focused on sanctions screening, financial crime controls, and data-driven compliance operations. The role is central to the migration from a legacy screening platform to a future-state, group-wide solution, ensuring robust regulatory alignment, data integrity, and operational effectiveness.

The ideal candidate will have deep experience working at the intersection of financial crime, data, and regulatory change, with a strong ability to translate complex regulatory and data requirements into clear business and technical deliverables.

• Lead detailed workshops with business, compliance, operations, and technology stakeholders to document current-state financial crime and sanctions screening processes, data flows, and controls.
• Define future-state process models with a strong focus on data quality, traceability, and regulatory compliance.
• Develop and maintain comprehensive functional, non-functional, and data requirements, including screening logic, alerts, workflows, and reporting.
• Conduct detailed gap analysis across current platforms, regulatory expectations, data capabilities, and the group-level solution.
• Assess alignment with global financial crime frameworks and standards, documenting data or regulatory-driven local requirements where applicable.
• Support solution and architectural planning by identifying data migration impacts, dependencies, and control considerations.
• Partner closely with stakeholders to validate requirements, data definitions, and process documentation.
• Produce high-quality documentation suitable for governance forums, audits, and regulatory review.

• Extensive experience as a Senior Business Analyst within banking or financial services.
• Strong background in Financial Crime, Sanctions Screening, AML, or related regulatory domains.
• Proven experience working with complex data sets, data flows, and data-related requirements within compliance platforms.
• Hands-on experience defining and documenting data, process, and control requirements for regulatory initiatives.
• Demonstrated ability to facilitate workshops with senior stakeholders across Compliance, Operations, Technology, and Business functions.
• Experience producing regulator-ready, audit-grade documentation under formal governance frameworks.
• Direct experience with sanctions screening platforms (implementation, migration, or optimisation).
• Exposure to data quality, lineage, and governance concepts within financial crime systems.
• Experience supporting group-wide platform rollouts and local/regional adoption.
• Familiarity with regulatory expectations across multiple jurisdictions.

The ideal consultants will share our values and be aligned with our ways of working. As your career progresses, you can expect to work across all areas of the project lifecycle, from strategy to implementation. This will provide you with a broad base of experience from which to build an outstanding career.

• Autonomy to take ownership of projects, making decisions and demonstrating individual expertise.
• Providing a transparent performance and career management experience.

Our consultants are integral to delivering successful consulting engagements, addressing our clients’ most pressing business challenges, and building lasting value in disciplines such as:

• Solve sophisticated, ambiguous business, change and technology problems, bringing structure and meticulous analysis and planning, acting, and taking decisions with little strategic direction.
• Build, develop and sustain trusted senior client relationships in the C-suite by remaining highly attuned to client needs.
• Drive, enable and support the business, partnering with our leaders, clients, and consultants across our practices to take the best of emagine to our clients through opportunity identification/qualification, solution development/presentation.
