We are looking for a Lead Business Analyst to own the requirements layer of the project migration - moving a mature Windows desktop application used by FDIC-supervised banks to a cloud-native, multi-tenant SaaS platform. The core challenge is that the desktop and cloud platforms are not equivalent. The desktop was built around a single-user, single-institution model. The cloud introduces concurrent editing, cross-institution access, server-side entitlements, and institution federation simultaneously. Defining the business rules that govern all of this – and translating them into acceptance criteria engineering can implement and test – is the central BA responsibility on this project.

Responsibilities

Take ownership of the end-to-end requirements layer for the migration initiative, ensuring clarity and consistency across all deliverables
Lead a small team of business analysts, providing guidance, mentorship, and quality oversight across their work
Partner with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to shape a shared understanding of scope, priorities, and desired outcomes
Analyze the current desktop application to document existing workflows, functional behaviors, and underlying business rules
Translate business needs into detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional specifications suitable for engineering delivery
Facilitate structured workshops and discovery sessions with business users, subject matter experts, and technical teams to gather requirements
Coordinate the review, validation, and sign-off of requirements with stakeholders across technical and non-technical audiences
Support the engineering team throughout implementation by clarifying requirements, resolving ambiguity, and refining scope as needed
Plan and orchestrate user acceptance testing activities, aligning them with release milestones and business timelines
Track progress, dependencies, and risks across the requirements workstream, escalating and resolving issues as they arise

Requirements

5 or more years of experience as a Business Analyst on software delivery projects, including at least one legacy migration or modernization engagement
At least 1 year of experience in people management or team leadership, overseeing a team of 5 or more FTEs
Background contributing to financial services, regulatory, or compliance-domain projects, with familiarity in audit trail requirements, deadline-driven workflows, and examiner-facing data quality
Experience working embedded within an Agile engineering team, writing stories and acceptance criteria consumed directly by developers
Proven ability to facilitate requirements workshops and UAT sessions with non-technical end users
Strong skills in requirements elicitation and documentation, including user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional specifications for API-backed workflows
Business process modeling expertise, with the ability to decompose AS-IS desktop workflows and design TO-BE cloud equivalents
Solid gap analysis capability, including feature scoping across large application surfaces and distinguishing between carry-forward, retire, and redesign scenarios
Experience with entitlement and role modeling, defining access control rules such as admin, user, report preparer, and read-only as implementable business rules
Understanding of multi-tenant SaaS concepts, including institution-scoped data, per-institution onboarding, and role inheritance models
Strong stakeholder management skills across technical and non-technical audiences at the same time
REST API literacy, with the ability to read OpenAPI specs, validate endpoint contracts, and identify mismatches between specification and implementation
Proven experience planning and facilitating UAT under filing-deadline pressure
Fluent English communication skills at a B2 level or higher, both written and verbal

Nice to have

Domain knowledge of FDIC Call Report and FFIEC CDR filings and processes
Familiarity with SAML, OIDC, and SSO concepts sufficient to document federation flows and institution onboarding steps independently of engineering support
Basic SQL skills for validating data migration outputs and spotting tenant scoping issues
Awareness of SOC 2 Type II requirements, with the ability to document audit trail and access control needs as BA artefacts
Prior experience applying the Strangler Fig migration pattern, including parallel-run periods, feature flag rollout, and institution-by-institution cutover
Background in change management and user adoption, supporting end-user transition from desktop to web-based platforms
