>> Subject: Seeking your help!!! We have a couple of BSA roles in NYC:)
>>
>> Good afternoon!
>> I hope you are doing well!!
>> Sorry for the outreach, but I could really use your help if you can. Would you know anyone that might be a fit for these roles below.
>>
>> BSA in Financial – Investment Data – WANTS SOMEONE THAT COULD GO FT AT SOME POINT.
>> • At least 5-7 years of experience in a business analyst role within the financial services industry
>> • Strong knowledge of investments data and client domains within the asset management space
>> • Experience performing extensive data analysis and delivering data requirements
>> • Experience developing functional requirements and front end requirements
>> • Experience with RESTful development and SOA concepts
>> • Experience writing reports in Cognos preferred
>> • Technical background preferred
>>
>> BSA in Infrastructure – RIGHT TO HIRE
>> By infrastructure, I mean the shared technical services that application teams rely upon: security, database, network, messaging bus, identity and authentication management. The typical business analyst supports an application or system that makes use of these infrastructure components, so they might have some exposure through work with that system, but someone who has worked on a cloud migration project, for example, would focus a good deal on network, security, messaging aspects of system infrastructure. Someone who has worked with a database or network or security team would be a good match too.
>>
>> Yes, Agile is a must. We are making a major push to become excellent in all Agile practices so this business analyst must be very comfortable with Agile.
>>
>> Any help would really be appreciated! WE DO OFFER REFERRAL FEE'SJ
