The Senior BSA will play a lead role in the delivery and ongoing evolution of SGWM's Investment Data Hub. You will act as the primary subject matter expert for business requirements and platform capabilities, driving alignment across investment operations, risk, compliance, and technology stakeholders.

•    Lead UAT planning, test strategy development, and execution; own defect triage, prioritization, and formal sign-off processes
•    Develop and maintain target-state data models, field mapping specifications, and integration designs for all downstream consumers including Charles River, SimCorp, Eagle, and BarraOne
•    Provide subject matter expertise on Opus EDM platform capabilities; advise stakeholders on best practices, platform constraints, and available configuration options
•    Mentor and guide BSA team members; contribute to best practice documentation and knowledge transfer
•    Manage vendor engagement with Gresham (Opus EDM) on platform escalations, release planning, and roadmap alignment
•    Drive cross-functional working groups and manage competing stakeholder priorities across a large-scale program

What You'll Bring

•    7–10 years of BSA experience in investment management or financial services, with a minimum of 4 years of direct, hands-on experience with Markit EDM / S&P Global EDM / Opus EDM
•    Deep functional knowledge of Opus EDM architecture: data sourcing, enrichment workflows, golden record creation, exception management, and downstream distribution
•    Comprehensive understanding of investment data domains: securities reference data, pricing, corporate actions, benchmarks, NAV/fund data, and risk analytics
•    Demonstrated experience leading integration design and business requirements for platforms such as Charles River Development (CRD), SimCorp Dimension, Eagle PACE, and/or BarraOne
•    Advanced SQL proficiency; familiarity with data integration patterns, API-based data flows, and file-based exchange mechanisms
•    Proven ability to lead cross-functional working groups, facilitate workshops, and manage competing stakeholder priorities in a large financial institution
•    Experience driving delivery within agile program structures; ability to work across multiple concurrent workstreams
Nice to Have
•    Familiarity with risk analytics workflows within BarraOne or equivalent risk platforms
•    Exposure to cloud data platforms (GCP BigQuery, Azure Synapse, Databricks)
•    Working knowledge of data governance tooling (Collibra, Alation, or similar)
