Collabera is seeking a Front Office Transformation Senior Analyst to support multi-year Investment Platform Transformation, Operation Daybreak. The program is entering UAT and preparing for go-live, and this person will provide senior functional support across Orna’s Front Office workstreams.

This is not a traditional requirements-gathering BA role. The priority is finding an experienced Front Office capital-markets professional who understands portfolio management, trading and investment workflows well enough to quickly investigate problems arising during UAT, understand their business impact, coordinate the appropriate stakeholders, and help determine a solution or interim workaround.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

The Analyst will act as a flexible pod-support resource across Front Office workstreams during UAT and go-live preparation. They will investigate issues identified during testing, identify gaps in investment workflows, coordinate across business and technology teams, and help redesign processes where necessary. If a system build, report or technology component will not be ready for go-live, they may help determine a manual workaround or interim operating process. They will not necessarily execute testing themselves; the focus is on functional problem-solving, coordination and issue resolution.

Must-Haves:

• Approximately 5+ years of relevant capital-markets experience, with meaningful Front Office exposure
• Strong understanding of Front Office investment processes, particularly portfolio management, trading/trade execution and investment workflows
• Strong understanding of the investment/trade lifecycle
• Ability to quickly investigate an unfamiliar workflow/process issue and determine its business impact
• Strong problem-solving and cross-functional coordination skills — able to bring together the appropriate business, technology and program stakeholders and help drive issues toward resolution
• Comfortable operating in a UAT/go-live environment with urgent issues and changing priorities

Plusses:

• Buy-side experience within a pension fund, asset manager, investment manager or similar institutional investment organization
• Experience supporting UAT, implementation, go-live or investment-platform transformation
• Experience redesigning workflows/processes or developing manual workarounds when technology is not ready
• Experience with Aladdin, Charles River/CRD, Eagle PACE, Calypso, SimCorp or another comparable investment platform
• Aladdin experience is a strong plus, but not mandatory
