Technical Business Analyst BSA/AML Compliance Platform Professional

Paradigm Technology is hiring a Technical Business Analyst, BSA/AML Compliance Platform professional for our financial services client. This is a remote contract to hire position.

The Technical Business Analyst, BSA/AML Compliance Platform professional is the bridge between the policy documents that govern the program and the technology that delivers it. This person reads and interprets BSA/AML policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements, then works with business and technology teams to confirm that what the platform delivers matches what the policies require.

The role is documentation-heavy and audit-facing. The analyst traces each policy requirement to a platform deliverable, keeps the evidence organized, and explains technical functionality in plain language to compliance, operations, and business stakeholders. Strong data skills are essential: the analyst writes SQL to validate data, test logic, and answer questions directly rather than waiting on a developer.

Key responsibilities

Policy and requirements analysis

• Read and interpret BSA/AML policies, standards, procedures, and regulatory guidance, and translate them into clear, testable platform requirements.
• Track changes to policies and regulations and assess their impact on platform functionality, data, and reporting.
• Maintain a current inventory of requirements, owners, and the controls that support them.

Business and technology partnership

• Meet with business and compliance stakeholders to explain what the platform delivers, what it does not, and where gaps exist.
• Translate technical concepts, system behavior, and data flows into plain language for non-technical audiences and translate business needs back into technical terms for delivery teams.
• Take part in planning, release, and change-management discussions, and document decisions and open items.

Documentation, audit, and traceability

• Build and maintain a traceability matrix that ties each policy requirement to a specific platform deliverable, configuration, report, or control.
• Prepare and maintain business requirements, functional specifications, process flows, data dictionaries, and test evidence.
• Support internal audit, regulatory examinations, and independent reviews by gathering, organizing, and presenting evidence, and by responding to findings.
• Identify gaps between policy and delivery, document them, and track remediation to closure.

Data analysis and SQL

• Write and optimize SQL queries to validate data quality, reconcile source systems, test monitoring and reporting logic, and answer ad hoc questions.
• Profile data to find completeness, accuracy, and lineage issues, and recommend fixes.
• Support user acceptance testing by designing test cases, running queries against expected results, and documenting outcomes.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in business, finance, information systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 4+ years of experience as a business analyst, compliance analyst, or systems analyst in financial services (adjust to seniority level).
• Working knowledge of BSA/AML requirements, including customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, suspicious activity reporting, sanctions screening, and recordkeeping.
• Proficiency in SQL: able to write joins, aggregations, subqueries, and window functions, and to build queries from scratch against relational databases.
• Demonstrated ability to read dense policy and regulatory documents and turn them into clear requirements.
• Experience building requirements documents, traceability matrices, and audit evidence.
• Strong verbal and written communication, with the ability to explain technical topics to non-technical audiences and to hold business meetings with confidence.
• Strong attention to detail, with an organized approach to managing many documents and open items at once.
