Senior Business Analyst - Credit Risk

The client is looking for a senior business analyst to support a cross-functional strategic project to revamp credit risk models related to business lending, including calculating default probabilities and optimizing business and risk management processes. The role covers the entire business analysis cycle: identifying and clarifying needs, evaluating and recommending solutions, analyzing organizational impacts, tracking requirements, and supporting deployment, all in a highly operationally complex environment that requires active management of uncertainty and ambiguity. The person interacts with a large number of internal stakeholders and plays a leadership and influence role with senior management. Being bilingual in French and English, both spoken and written, is required due to collaboration with the American vendor.Previous experience on a project involving an external vendor is appreciated, as well as knowledge of corporate financing, considered more of an asset than a core requirement.

We’re looking for a senior business analyst who can manage the full analysis cycle, from identifying needs to deployment, in a high-complexity, cross-functional setting. Bilingual in French and English, they should be able to exercise influential leadership with multiple stakeholders and senior management, rather than someone purely focused on technical development or quantitative modeling.

Key Requirements:

• End-to-end business analysis in a cross-functional strategic project environment with high operational complexity (identification and clarification of needs, solution evaluation and recommendation, impact analysis, requirements traceability, deployment support)
• Leadership and management of complexity (high level of autonomy, management of uncertainty and ambiguity, influence with senior leadership and multiple stakeholders)

Requirements

DESIRED

• Work experience on a project involving an external vendor
• Knowledge of business process analysis and improvement

ASSET

Profiles to Exclude:

• Profile focused on technical development or programming, without proven responsibility in business analysis or requirements management.
• Project manager profile whose role is limited to operational delivery, without needs analysis or business solution recommendations.
• Profile without demonstrated experience collaborating with multiple stakeholders or senior management.
• Profile whose English is limited to reading comprehension, without fluency in speaking for ongoing collaboration with a US vendor.
• Profile presented as senior without showing independent handling of highly complex operational cases.
