Product Owner, Capital Markets

Mandate Overview:

• The mandate sits upstream of any implementation: the program is in feasibility, and the analyst helps define the target state, requirements, gap analysis and market solicitation. Scope covers legal entity and institutional clients across several business lines (large corporates, Capital Markets, cards, derivatives), with topics beyond traditional KYC: beneficial owners, tax residency, PEPs, watch lists, periodic reviews, information barriers. The distinction between orchestration (CLM) and regulatory decision (KYC) is structuring and must guide resume review. Traceability is at the heart of the deliverable: obligations, requirements, capabilities and acceptance criteria, with an audit trail of compliance decisions. Stakeholders range from Front Office to second line Compliance, Legal and executives.
  
• Candidate sought: a senior business analyst who has delivered KYC/KYB, CLM or AML/ATF compliance projects in a financial institution, for legal entity clients, with traceability matrices and BPMN modeling on the resume. Involvement in a feasibility study, an RFI/RFP or a solution selection sets this profile apart from analysts who have only worked in the implementation phase.
