Business Analyst – Financial Systems & Platform Configuration

Location: Mumbai
Experience: 3 Years

Role Overview

We are looking for a Business Analyst with a strong financial background and sound technical aptitude to support the implementation and configuration of a fund management platform.

The role involves working closely with business, risk, compliance, and technology stakeholders to configure the platform based on business requirements. This is a hands-on system-focused role, involving platform configuration, data analysis, and financial domain understanding rather than purely documentation-driven business analysis.

Key Responsibilities

• Configure and maintain system components through the platform's graphical user interface (GUI).
• Set up and manage views, filters, indicators, and configuration parameters based on business requirements.
• Analyze financial products, data structures, investment constraints, and business rules.
• Work closely with risk, compliance, investment, and business teams to understand requirements and translate them into system configurations.
• Perform detailed analysis of financial data and system behavior to ensure accurate configuration.
• Support the implementation and integration of the platform with existing systems and data sources.
• Investigate configuration issues and identify appropriate solutions through system and data analysis.
• Collaborate with local and international stakeholders on requirements, configuration, testing, and implementation activities.
• Communicate effectively with business and risk stakeholders and explain technical/system concepts clearly.
• Ensure configurations align with applicable financial practices, regulations, ratings, and market requirements.

Required Skills & Experience

• 3 years of experience as a Business Analyst, Functional Analyst, Systems Analyst, or similar role within the financial services domain.
• Strong understanding of financial products, investment data, and financial markets.
• Good understanding of risk, compliance, investment constraints, and financial data.
• Strong technical aptitude with the ability to understand complex systems and data structures.
• Hands-on experience with system configuration, parameter setup, data analysis, or financial applications.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work with both business and technical stakeholders.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to work independently and deep-dive into complex system and business requirements.

Preferred Background

Candidates with experience in any of the following areas would be preferred:

• Asset Management
• Fund Management
• Investment Management
• Portfolio Management
• Risk & Compliance
• Financial Data & Analytics
• Investment Operations
• Financial Systems / Platforms

Key Competencies

• Financial domain expertise
• Technical and analytical aptitude
• System configuration
• Data analysis
• Business requirement analysis
• Risk and compliance understanding
• Stakeholder management
• Problem-solving
• Strong communication skills

Important Aspect of the Role

This is a hands-on Business Analyst role requiring candidates to work directly with the system and its configuration. Candidates whose experience is limited to preparing BRDs, presentations, process documentation, or purely functional analysis may not be suitable.

The ideal candidate should be comfortable working directly within a financial platform, analyzing data and business rules, and translating requirements into system configurations.
