Synechron is looking for an experienced Business Analyst to work on an engagement to design and implement an enterprise Product Reference Data capability. This is a strategic initiative to establish consistent, governed product definitions, hierarchies, and relationships across global operations.

The Senior Business Analyst will translate business requirements into a validated, implementation-ready Product Reference Data model. Working closely with business stakeholders, data architects, and technical teams, you will shape the model through discovery, challenge, and validation—not simply document requirements.

Role:

• Lead discovery across product governance, reference data, and operational systems
• Capture business, functional, and non-functional requirements, use cases, and user scenarios
• Define authoritative product terminology, taxonomies, hierarchies, and business glossary content
• Build requirements traceability and validate conceptual, logical, and physical data models
• Develop use-case catalogues covering product creation, maintenance, search, reporting, and processing
• Identify gaps, edge cases, critical data elements, quality requirements, and governance needs
• Facilitate workshops with business SMEs, data teams, system owners, and architecture stakeholders
• Define integration requirements for data sources and consumers
• Present recommendations to design authorities and governance forums
• Challenge assumptions, resolve conflicting requirements, and assess implementation feasibility

Experience:

• 7+ years’ experience as a Business Analyst or similar role in enterprise data management
• Strong experience in requirements gathering, business process analysis, and data model validation
• Knowledge of reference data, master data management, or data governance
• Ability to interpret logical and physical data models
• Experience working across business, architecture, and technology teams
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills
• Banking or financial services experience strongly preferred
