Job Summary
Our client is undertaking a multi-year infrastructure modernization and data centre transformation program, including migration to cloud and hybrid platforms. We are seeking a Senior Business & Technical Analyst (BTA) to bridge business priorities, regulatory requirements, and technical delivery, with strong infrastructure expertise to drive safe, compliant, and business-aligned migration of critical banking applications
 
This role will play a critical part in ensuring secure, compliant, and customer-impact-aware migration of applications and platforms, while minimizing disruption to banking operations and retail financial services.

  • Identify critical banking applications and classify Tier 1 (customer-facing, real-time), Tier 2/3 (internal, batch, reporting)
  • Develop and support migration strategies (rehost, re-platform, refactor, retire), and migration wave planning aligned to business cycles (e.g., peak retail seasons, billing cycles)
  • Assist in defining cutover strategies with minimal impact to customers and merchants

Technical Analysis & Cloud Alignment

  • Analyze and interpret legacy banking systems and core platforms, infrastructure environments (VMware, storage, networks), and emerging cloud platforms (primarily Azure)
  • Work with engineering teams to validate architecture designs, integration requirements, data flows and dependencies
  • Translate technical concepts into business implications such as customer experience, operational risk, cost and performance trade-offs

Risk, Compliance & Governance

  • Ensure alignment with: OSFI guidelines, data residency and privacy regulations (PIPEDA), PCI standards, internal risk and audit policies
  • Conduct risk assessments for migration activities, business continuity and disaster recovery validation
  • Maintain RAID logs and support governance forums

Stakeholder & Vendor Management

  • Act as liaison across banking product owners, technology & infrastructure teams, cybersecurity and risk teams, external vendors and cloud providers
  • Facilitate decision-making sessions balancing speed of modernization, risk management, customer impact

Program Delivery & Execution

  • Support end-to-end program delivery across multiple workstreams, including Infrastructure, Applications, Security and compliance
  • Track migration milestones, dependencies, and blockers
  • Produce executive-level reporting with clear articulation of risks and impacts

Data, Reporting & Documentation

  • Analyze application inventory, infrastructure utilization, and cost comparisons (on-prem vs. cloud / hybrid)
  • Develop migration runbooks, process flows, and architecture diagrams
  • Build dashboards to track migration progress, risk posture, cost and efficiency gains

Required Qualifications

  • 7–10+ years in Business Analysis / Technical Analysis roles, with experience supporting data centre migration or cloud transformation programs
  • Proven experience in financial services or banking environments, with experience supporting audit, compliance, or risk teams
  • Solid understanding of data centre infrastructure (compute, storage, networking), virtualization (VMware preferred), cloud platforms (Azure)
