Project description
An opportunity is available for a Collateral E2E Business Analyst focusing on UI to join our client, a leading Australian Financial Institute, as part of the team migrating collateral onto Calypso. This role is a key contributor to a major post-trade transformation program, responsible for configuring and customising Calypso collateral functions, defining operational workflows and UI requirements, and driving end-to-end scenario testing, defect management and business acceptance through to go-live within the client's clearing and settlement ecosystem.
Responsibilities
Configure and customise Calypso collateral functions, including margin call contracts, eligibility schedules, haircuts, thresholds/MTA and allocation rules, within a CCP context.
Define target-state operational workflows for collateral and margin processes (margin call generation, collateral pledges/substitutions/returns, allocations, cash and security movements).
Elicit, document and specify UI and workflow requirements, including interface related UI requirements, screen layouts, field behaviour, validations and user entitlements.
Perform current
and future-state process mapping with Operations and business users; identify gaps and drive design decisions.
Translate requirements into epics, features and user stories with clear acceptance criteria.
Design and execute end-to-end scenarios spanning upstream trade feeds, Calypso collateral processing, settlement and downstream reporting.
Plan and coordinate UAT/E2E testing cycles: test strategy input, scenario/test case design, test data, execution and evidence.
Lead defect triage — log, prioritise, reproduce and coordinate resolution with the vendor, development and test teams.
Drive business acceptance and sign-off; support operational readiness, training and embedding changes into BAU.
Work closely with the Migration squad to ensure migrated collateral data supports E2E operational workflows.
Build strong engagement with Operations, Risk, Treasury and business users across all seniority levels.
