For a bank I’m recruiting for an interim Senior Business Analyst with experience in product implementation and (international) banking and with in-depth knowledge of IT, data management and origination, monitoring, servicing and reporting business processes within financial institutions.
The bank offers risk-sharing guarantees to local financial institutions in developing countries. By sharing the credit risk with these institutions, the project stimulates lending to underserved segments. The goal is to enable these local financial institutions to provide loans to target groups they normally perceive as too risky. The project focuses on originating retail loan portfolios.
The project through which the institution provides the risk-sharing guarantees would not be possible without public partners. The bank initiates, manages, and invests in the project and finds credit risk mitigation in counter-guarantees provided by these partners. The project commenced in 2019 and will conclude in 2028.
Currently, the bank is launching an additional risk-sharing project. This new project builds on the experience of the first project but is larger in scale and is extended to more local financial institutions across a broader geographic area. This new project is planned to operate from 2025 to 2037.

You guide and ensure proper solution implementation, including testing, within the agreed architecture by providing active guidance and advice to the agile teams working on implementation.
