- Gap Analysis & Transformation: Conduct detailed "As-Is" vs. "To-Be" analysis to migrate legacy manual processes into automated, scalable digital workflows (similar to Core Banking transformations).
- Product Definition: Translate complex business needs into clear Functional Specifications (FSD), User Stories, and Use Cases for the development team using Agile methodologies.

Candidate Profile:
- Experience: 10+ years of experience in Business Analysis or Functional Consulting, with a strong background in BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, Insurance) or High-Transaction environments.
Domain Expertise:
- Deep knowledge of Lending/Loan Management Systems, Payments, or Escrow workflows is highly preferred.
- Experience with Core Banking Systems (e.g., Temenos T24, Silverlake, Oracle Flexcube) is a massive plus as it demonstrates the ability to handle complex ledger-based logic.
Technical Skills:

- Strong understanding of API integrations, Data Migration, and Reporting (MIS).
- Ability to read/understand technical architecture (SIT/UAT processes).
