On-siteAnalystFull-time
Position Overview
We are a global team of alternative investment managers dedicated to delivering uncommon value to our investors and shareholders. With over 30 years of proven expertise in Private Equity, Credit, and Real Assets across various regions and industries, we are known for our integrated businesses, strong investment performance, value-oriented philosophy, and our people. We are seeking a Technical / Functional Business Analyst who can operate seamlessly between the realities of Operations & Finance and the practical constraints of building software.
What You ll Do
- Lead discovery with stakeholders to understand current-state workflows, pain points, controls, and desired outcomes.
- Distill ambiguity into clarity: write crisp problem statements, scope boundaries, assumptions, risks, and success measures.
- Translate business needs into delivery-ready artifacts: process flows, user stories, acceptance criteria, and non-functional requirements.
- Partner with engineers and product owners to refine requirements, resolve tradeoffs, and keep execution unblocked.
- Support testing and validation: define test scenarios, help with UAT coordination, and ensure delivered features match intent.
- Maintain traceability: align requirements to outcomes and support auditability where needed (controls, approvals, data lineage).
- Use AI tools responsibly to accelerate analysis and documentation (summarization, drafting, comparison, gap analysis), while validating accuracy and protecting sensitive information.
- Communicate clearly and consistently: provide status, decisions, and open questions in a way that builds trust.
What We re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, Functional Analyst, Technical BA, or similar role in software delivery.
- Strong discovery and requirements skills: you can move from conversations to structured, testable requirements quickly.
- Comfort in technical discussions: APIs, data flows, basic system behavior, and how to ask the right questions of engineers.
- Excellent written communication: your artifacts are clear, concise, and usable by engineering and business partners.
- Strong stakeholder management: you build rapport, handle conflict professionally, and create alignment without force.
- Ability to think in workflows and data: process mapping, edge cases, exceptions, and operational controls.
- High integrity and maturity: you are transparent, consistent, and trusted especially under pressure.
- Nice to Have:
- Experience in operations, finance, accounting, or control-oriented domains (reconciliations, reporting, hand-offs, approvals).
- Familiarity with agile delivery (stories, backlogs, iteration planning), while being comfortable in less mature environments.
- Experience working with data stores and queries (SQL basics), or partnering on reporting and analytics needs.
- Exposure to event-driven or workflow-based systems (messaging, orchestration), and understanding.
