We are seeking a Collateral Business Analyst to support the final phase of a multi-year collateral platform replacement programme. With standard client migrations already delivered, the focus now shifts to onboarding complex clients and supporting advanced collateral services.
This role will play a critical part in report configuration, rationalisation, client engagement, and testing, ensuring solutions delivered from the new cloud-based platform meet client needs while driving standardisation and efficiency.
Gather and document client reporting requirements across collateral workflows.
Design and configure reports from the new cloud-based collateral platform to replicate and enhance existing Colline capabilities.
Drive report standardisation and rationalisation, challenging legacy client-specific formats and promoting scalable, reusable reporting solutions.
Analyse report usage and data requirements to reduce duplication while maintaining client outcomes.
Work with technology teams to translate reporting requirements into functional specifications.
Engage directly with clients to gather, validate, and refine requirements across reporting, workflows, and migration activities.
Act as a bridge between clients, operations, and technology, translating business needs into clear requirements.
Support migration planning for complex clients, ensuring alignment with new platform capabilities.
Provide SME input on collateral use cases including advanced scenarios (e.g., rehypothecation, optimisation).
Define and execute test cases for reporting and collateral workflows.
Perform detailed validation of outputs, identifying discrepancies and exceptions.
Manage defect lifecycle—working with technology teams and clients to resolve issues efficiently.
Support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) cycles across client migrations.

Margin calculation and calls (VM & IM)
Collateral settlement and dispute management
Rehypothecation flows
