A major Belgian financial institution is strengthening the coordination of its Financial Security activities, covering KYC, transaction monitoring, sanctions and embargo compliance, and related risk controls. This senior business analyst role combines requirements management, conceptual modelling, and project management to coordinate risk remediation from initial analysis through governance, evidence, and closure.
The mission
The Financial Security Transversal Coordination Team provides oversight of gaps and remediation activities across the bank's compliance and control landscape. Its work connects business stakeholders, risk leads, Compliance Framework representatives, subject matter experts, and IT delivery teams to address risks related to money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, sanctions violations, and other forms of financial crime. The role contributes to the bank's ability to meet regulatory obligations and demonstrate sustainable remediation under Group and Belgian law requirements.
You will manage the end-to-end follow-up of assigned risk items, remediation plans, dependencies, and action owners. Your scope includes analysing impacts, maintaining requirements traceability, preparing governance reporting, challenging the quality of deliverables, and escalating items whose deadlines or evidence are at risk. You will also maintain a complete audit trail and ensure that SharePoint repositories contain current, structured supporting documentation.
