GCB 5

We are currently seeking a high calibre professional to join our team as Business Manager.

In this role you will:

1) Project analysis & scope control

• Work with business sponsors and Technology leads to define project scope, objectives, deliverables, milestones, and success measures.
• Elicit, analyse, and document requirements using a pragmatic approach (BRD/requirements pack, use cases, functional specs where appropriate).
• Manage requirement traceability from business need solution design testing sign-off.
• Control change: assess impacts, document decisions, and support change approval through project governance.

2) Governance, reporting & stakeholder management

• Support governance routines (steering/working groups): agendas, materials, decision papers, minutes, actions and follow-ups.
• Maintain project RAID logs and proactively manage dependencies across AME stakeholders (countries/functions) and Technology teams.
• Provide clear status reporting (progress vs plan, issues, decisions required, next steps), tailored to senior stakeholders.
• Facilitate workshops to drive alignment on definitions, scope, priorities, and operating model impacts.

3) Data & control alignment (banking environment)

• Ensure requirements incorporate controls and non-functional expectations: access control, auditability, data retention, segregation of duties, resiliency, and operational readiness.
• Partner with Data Governance/Stewards to align data definitions, ownership, lineage expectations, and data quality requirements.
• Support control engagement (Risk, Compliance, Information Security) to ensure early alignment and reduce late-stage remediation.

4) Delivery coordination & test/sign-off support

• Coordinate delivery inputs across teams (Architecture, Engineering, QA/UAT, Operations) to keep delivery on track.
• Support test planning and execution: define UAT approach, create test scenarios, coordinate defect triage, and drive business sign-off.
• Ensure operational readiness artefacts are completed where required (handover, support model, runbooks, monitoring and reporting expectations).

5) Benefits realisation & continuous improvement

• Help define and track benefits realisation (e.g., improved data quality, MI automation, reduced manual reconciliations, faster reporting cycles).
• Identify opportunities to streamline governance and documentation without weakening control posture.
• Contribute to standard templates and ways of working for AME Data Technology project delivery.

Key deliverables

• Scope/requirements pack (BRD or lean equivalent), use cases, process maps (as-is/to-be)
• Functional requirements, non-functional requirements, and acceptance criteria
• Data requirements: definitions, mappings, DQ rules, reconciliation/controls requirements
• Governance artefacts: RAID log, dependency log, decisions log, stakeholder comms, steering packs
• UAT plan, test scenarios, defect management summary, sign-off pack
• Operational readiness checklist/pack (as applicable)

To be successful you will need:

Essential

• Strong BA fundamentals: elicitation, analysis, documentation, stakeholder management, and facilitation.
• Demonstrated experience in project-based delivery and governance (status reporting, RAID, decisioning, change control).
• Experience supporting data-related initiatives (data platforms, MI/reporting, data quality, data integration, metadata/lineage).
• Ability to work effectively with technical teams (understanding data flows, interfaces, and implementation constraints).
• Strong written communication skillsable to produce concise governance materials for senior forums.

Desirable

• SQL/data querying for validation and investigation.
• Familiarity with data governance and controls concepts (data ownership, stewardship, metadata management).
• Experience in financial services/regulatory environments.

Qualifications

• Degree (or equivalent experience) in Business, Technology, Engineering, or related discipline.
• BA or project certifications (IIBA/PMI-PBA/PRINCE2/Agile) are advantageous but not mandatory.

Stakeholders / Interfaces

• AME business sponsors and country stakeholders
• AME Data Technology engineering, architecture, and platform teams
• Data Governance / Data Stewards
• Risk, Compliance, Information Security
• Operations/Support teams and downstream data consumers (MI, analytics, reporting)
