Business Analyst with Mantas/Actimize experience

Location: Manhattan, NY

Duration: Long-term

I have a new requirement for a contracts Business Analyst within Mantas/Actimize market in midtown Manhattan at an investment bank.

Main Function

A business analyst is required for the Market Surveillance programme as we start the Definition phase for the US (BWA) workstream.  This role is fully funded by the Market Surveillance programme and will be based in New York.  The location is required as the BWA business operates on a different model from the UK requiring significant analysis work which will be more effectively carried out in that location.  Project Artemis and the trade monitoring gap that is expected following the outsource to Pershing brings with it additional complexities for this programme whereby we must ensure that our plans and solutions are in line or have a logical progression from the tactical solution that is required this year to cover the monitoring gap.  This provides further justification for having this role on site to understand and document that scenario and associated processes.
