About GSS

Hello. Welcome to GSS! We are a Network-Driven Managed Service transforming the global financial system with cutting-edge technology, including AI/Machine Learning and collaboration with top financial institutions. GSS will become the industry default for screening transactions for sanctions risk – through a consistent, standardised, and scalable model. Supported by regulators, trusted by the market. Join us in revolutionising the industry and making a real impact!

About the Role

We’re looking for a proactive and collaborative Business Analyst to lead our Integration and Operational Readiness workstream. In this role, you’ll play a key part in making sure our teams and systems are ready for change — from owning the process to align on client requirements and designing training plans, to estimating capacity needs and coordinating readiness activities across the board.

You’ll also work closely with product and tech teams, helping shape client and ops business requirements, design processes, and support planning of user acceptance testing (UAT).

Plus, enjoy a collaborative, flexible, and innovative work culture where your ideas are valued.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be hands-on across a variety of activities, including:

• Gathering and analysing client business requirements and coordinating GSS’ response
• Facilitating workshops and working groups to drive alignment and clarity
• Supporting the development of training and readiness materials
• Applying sanctions knowledge to ensure readiness activities align with clients regulatory expectations (e.g. screening processes, escalation workflows, audit trails)
• Acting as a point of contact for clients, ensuring clear communication and supporting timely, frictionless delivery

Experience Required

We’re looking for someone who’s curious, organised, and confident working across multiple priorities. You’ll thrive in this role if:

• You must have worked in a Financial Crime Compliance change/transformation function, transaction screening, transaction monitoring, or sanctions list management
• You’ve contributed to the design or enhancement of sanctions-related controls (e.g. alert handling processes, system tuning, or policy updates)
• You’ve created business analysis deliverables like process maps, requirement catalogues, or test cases
• You’re comfortable using structured analysis techniques and adapting them to different situations
• You enjoy leadin g workshops and working independently
• You’re confident navigating ambiguity and working in a matrixed environment

Nice to Have (but not essential)

• Business analysis certification (e.g. BCS, IIBA)
• Experience with Agile delivery, change management, or benefits realisation
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as OFAC, UN, or EU sanctions regimes
