Forward Deployed Business Analyst

The Forward Deployed Business Analyst will work in cross-functional teams to reimagine, innovate and scale solutions that drive growth and operating models within the firm.

This is not a traditional business analysis role centered on gathering requirements and handing them to technology. The role combines business analysis, product discovery, business architecture and hands-on prototyping to turn ambiguous problems into tangible solutions that business users and engineers can test and refine together.

Successful candidates will combine the structured thinking of a business analyst, the prioritization instincts of a product owner, the enterprise perspective of a business architect and the bias to action of a hands-on builder.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of complex, ambiguous business problems and rapidly translate them into testable solution hypotheses with measurable outcomes.
• Build structured business context covering terminology, entities, relationships, decision logic, data dependencies, controls and exceptions for use by subject matter experts, AI tools and engineering teams.
• Decompose business processes into explicit logic, controls and exception paths for implementation by technology teams.
• Create functional prototypes using AI-enabled development capabilities to discover requirements, challenge assumptions and validate future-state processes, data, policies and controls.
• Shape the target operating model, including ownership of data, governance, controls, roles and exception management.
• Partner continuously with business experts, product managers, engineers, architects, data specialists and control partners from discovery through implementation.
• Develop measurable project objectives, drive consensus, and communicate plans, progress and outcomes effectively to stakeholders and management across levels.

Experience

• 3–5 years of relevant work experience in transformation, product delivery, business architecture, technology-enabled change or a comparable discipline.
• Experience in business architecture and operating-model design, connecting solutions to business capabilities, roles, governance, policy ownership, controls and exception handling.
• Proficiency in prototype-led problem solving and rapidly converting ambiguous business problems into functional prototypes that stakeholders can see, test and challenge.
• Expertise using AI-enabled development environments to accelerate analysis, prototyping, requirements definition and testing, including critically evaluating generated outputs, maintaining traceability and understanding where human judgment remains essential.
• Experience with iterative delivery and hands-on ownership through cycles of analysis, experimentation and solution shaping.
• Experience in financial services or a similar industry.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate objectives and influence outcomes.
