Role overview

Business Process Consulting || ntegration / EOD / Golden Scenarios at Zensar

Employment details

• Location: offshore, reports to Functional Lead; onsite, reports to Engagement Lead | Works with: All domain BAs and Bank SMEs | Focus: The integration / EOD backbone the programme plan is built on, and the behaviour baseline that anchors parity ROLE PURPOSE Own the two backbones that anchor the programme plan and its parity evidence: the business view of the integration estate and the end-of-day chain, and the golden-scenario behaviour baseline.
• In Discovery, map what connects to what — with timing, criticality and business logic at each boundary — and turn validated logic into a business-readable golden-scenario dataset with agreed expected outputs and tolerances, so the Bank has an auditable definition of “correct” before anything is built.
• Through delivery, specify the target integration contracts, own interface and EOD validation, and convert the golden baseline into the executable regression estate and the parity evidence behind every gate.
• BUSINESS AREAS OWNED The full integration estate — the system register including the undocumented systems (payment-receiving, bidirectional money-market and EOD-chain systems).
• Payments and settlement business rules; the multi-step EOD payment chain and its fixed timing constraints; reconciliation, control-report and settlement-finalisation logic.
• Downstream feeds (risk, ALM, prime, reconciliation, operational reporting) and client-statement interfaces; reference- and market-data feeds (counterparties, SSIs, calendars, rates and curves); integration touchpoints for derivative instruments.
• The behaviour baseline that anchors parity across all domains — CPI, funding, call and flexible / structured cases — with agreed expected outputs, tolerance definitions and SME sign-off.
• KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Own the Integration Inventory (business) — direction, pattern and protocol per interface, criticality and SLA windows, EOD dependencies, and sequencing / risk-and-impact analysis; clarify the undocumented systems as priority items.
• Produce the EOD chain execution trace and document integration-driven business logic (platform ownership, duplicated rules, coupling hotspots); own EOD-cutover and timing risk.
• Own the Golden Scenario Dataset — scenarios spanning CPI, funding, call and flexible / structured cases across all domains, with input data and preconditions, expected outputs (parity targets), accrual / fair-value / settlement references and tolerance definitions.
• Run scenario-based SME playback to classify behaviour (required / intentionally-changed / defect-not-to-replicate / obsolete / uncertain) into an approved Behaviour Catalogue; maintain the Behavioural Delta Register; build the risk-based regression inventory (Tier 0 must-not-fail controls, Tier 1 high-volume journeys, Tier 2 edge cases).
• Write Functional Service Specifications for integration and data services; contribute integration risk as an input to the 5R disposition; feed the Wave Plan (EOD-moves-last sequencing, blackout windows) and define output-parity thresholds and parallel-run evidence for the Go / No-Go gate criteria.
• Specify target integration contracts and event flows as facade and anti-corruption layers go in; support EOD re-platforming (batch-to-event) and payment-chain migration; own functional validation of interfaces and the EOD cutover — the last and highest-risk migration step.
• Convert the golden-scenario baseline into the executable regression estate, run legacy-versus-target parity comparison each wave and investigate every material difference; own the parity evidence pack behind each Go / No-Go gate through build, migration and cutover.
• SKILLS & EXPERIENCE Deep, hands-on Commercial Lending business knowledge (essential) ; Structured Lending experience a strong plus.
• Working understanding of Murex; ACBS / LoanIQ product knowledge desirable; South African lending market knowledge a nice-to-have. 6–7+ years BA / functional analysis in banking — an integration and batch / EOD focus (integration seat) and functional-QA / test-scenario definition for financial calculations (golden-scenarios seat).
• Reads and documents interface contracts, timing / SLA dependencies and reconciliation logic; comfortable with real-time, batch, event-driven and file-based patterns; specifies tolerances, rounding and reconciliation checks precisely.
• Strong at surfacing hidden coupling and articulating the business impact of integration failure; precise and outcome-focused, running structured SME validation to signed-off baselines.
• Comfortable working onsite with business and operations SMEs to reach signed-off baselines and parity evidence (golden-scenarios seat).
• Desirable.
• Payments / settlement (SWIFT) exposure; middleware and messaging familiarity; characterisation / golden-master testing experience; parallel-run or migration-assurance background.
• Deep, hands-on Commercial Lending business knowledge is essential for every role; Structured Lending experience is a strong plus.
• A working understanding of Murex (the capital-markets / derivatives platform) is expected across the team; ACBS and LoanIQ product knowledge is desirable.
• At least one to two consultants must additionally understand the secondary market for commercial loans / deals and the capital-market functions around them (syndication, participations, secondary trading) — carried here by the Senior BA / Engagement Lead and the Call Accounts / Deposits / Structured role Domain BA — Integration, EOD & Golden Scenarios Positions: 2 seats — Integration & EOD Rules / Golden Scenarios |
