The impact you will have in this role:

DTCC’s Institutional Trade Processing’s (“ITP”) mission is to enable end-to-end straight-through processing of the post trade lifecycle by providing buy-side, sell-side and custodian clients with an integrated platform that reduces manual touches, decreases settlement fails and promotes settlement finality across asset classes and markets.  Within ITP, the ALERT platform is the industry’s largest and most compliant online global database for the maintenance and communication of account and standing settlement instructions (SSIs). ALERT enables a community of investment managers, brokers-dealers, custodian banks and prime brokers to share accurate account and SSI automatically worldwide.

The Business Analyst's role on the ALERT team is to collaborate with other functional representatives on an Agile delivery team to build products that end-users highly value, are consistent with the architecture design, and satisfy strategic and business objectives. The Business Analyst will lead product design discovery on projects, engage with the Product Owner and user/user proxies to slice and translate requirements into valuable offerings and drive the delivery of high-quality solutions.

What You'll Do 

• Actively participate with other members of the delivery team (Product Managers, Product Owner, Scrum Master, other Business Analysts, UX Designers, Development Engineers (Mid-Tier and UI) and Test Engineers) to build solutions that meet business needs in an Agile setting (i.e., scrum ceremonies, collocated team, etc.)
• Work with the Agile delivery team to decompose requirements into stories, uncover associated workflows, data and business rules as well as define acceptance criteria based on real world scenarios.
• Analyze improvement requests and defects to determine solutions that do not negatively affect other product features.
• Apply detailed knowledge of design principles and user needs to ensure that user interfaces are of high quality, very usable, perform well and are consistent across product
• Analyze requirements and conduct design walkthroughs, demos, and functionality feedback sessions with internal and external partners. 
• Resolve and produce just-enough documentation for the functionality being delivered in sprints, but also compile a running specification that serves as a functional specification for the final deliverable.
• Partner with internal team members such as Integration, Documentation and Learning on operational readiness activities by sharing domain expertise on features and functions and uncovering operational requirements.
• Articulate information clearly and present information successfully and expertly when working with others.
• Help build BA standards and best approaches. 
• Develop a culture of dedication, partnership, problem solving, and continuous improvement.
• Move project forward by stepping into other functional roles (testing, iteration management, etc.), when applicable.
