Job Description –

We are seeking a seasoned Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR) Technical Business Analyst to support stability, enhancement, and continuous improvement of technology platforms serving Exposure Management (EM), Credit Risk Reporting (CRR), Risk Analytics (RA), Front Office, and Regulatory Reporting functions.

Major Responsibilities:

Partner with EM, CRR, RA, Front Office, and technology stakeholders to gather, analyze, and document business, functional, and technical requirements for EM applications, including EPE/PFE calculations, limit monitoring, what-if pre-trade intraday analysis, and exposure reporting.
Translate business needs into clear process flows, user stories, functional specifications, data mapping documents, and test scenarios to support platform enhancements and production incident resolution.
Act as a key liaison between business users and technology teams to ensure CCR priorities are accurately understood, implemented, and supported.
Serve as a point of contact for high‑severity production incidents, particularly those impacting exposure reporting, limit breaches, what-if intraday analysis or regulatory deliverables.
Drive hands-on root cause analysis (RCA) for impactful incidents such as calculation breaks, data validation/reconciliation issues, ensuring recurring issues are eliminated through permanent fixes rather than short‑term workarounds.
Analyze current-state CCR workflows, incident patterns, data reconciliations, and operational processes to identify opportunities for process simplification, control enhancement, and operational improvement.
Support the definition and tracking of key operational and business metrics related to application performance, data quality, incident trends, and turnaround times.
Drive documentation and standardization of business processes, support procedures, and control points across the EM application stack.
Identify opportunities for automation and self‑healing processes for batch monitoring, data validation, reconciliations, and recovery processes for production as well as lower testing environments.
Partner with Engineering and Infrastructure teams to improve observability, alerting, capacity planning, and resilience of EM applications.
Assist in ensuring DR/BCP readiness for EM‑critical systems, including regular/annual testing and documented recovery procedures.
Work with onshore and offshore technology and support teams to clarify requirements, prioritize issues, and ensure smooth execution of BA deliverables across BAU projects and production support initiatives.
Facilitate knowledge transfer, documentation quality, and shared understanding of CCR business processes, data flows, and system behavior across distributed teams.
Help define business context, escalation needs, and operational expectations to support effective 24x7 coverage and service continuity.
Ensure EM applications meet regulatory, audit, security, and internal risk management requirements.
Lead IT Operations engagement for internal audits, regulatory exams, and model governance reviews, demonstrating control maturity.
Maintain strong IT control frameworks (access, change, data integrity) across IT and business teams.
