Job description

Business Analyst (Sanctions) (AVP)

Location: Canary Wharf, London

Working mode: Hybrid, 3 days per week on-site and 2 days working from home

Contract: 6 months initially (opportunity for a contract extension)

Overall Purpose of the Role: Barclays is seeking a high‑calibre, experienced Business Analyst (Sanctions) (AVP) to join a major, high-priority Financial Crime Transformation Programme. This is a crucial, hands‑on role where you will apply your deep sanctions domain expertise to drive significant change across the global organisation.

The role will deliver transformation across the whole suite of the programme, encompassing strategic workstreams such as Sanctions Case Management Tool implementation, screening system enhancements, and Target Operating Model (TOM) design.

Key Responsibilities

• Sanctions Domain Expertise: Act as the subject matter expert, providing heavy domain knowledge to the wider change delivery team, ensuring all solutions meet complex OFAC, UN, EU, and UK Sanctions regimes and regulatory requirements.
• End‑to‑End Process Engineering: Take ownership of process mapping, design, and re‑engineering (As‑Is and To‑Be models) for global Sanctions processes, including screening, list management, and escalation workflows.
• Requirements Management: Elicit, analyse, validate, and document functional and non‑functional business requirements for key Sanctions systems (e.g., screening tools, workflow/case management systems).
• Stakeholder Management: Influence and manage highly complex and challenging stakeholders across Compliance, Technology, Operations, and Business units to secure buy‑in for strategic process changes and design decisions.
• Risk & Breach Analysis: Analyse and articulate the ways sanctions can be breached or bypassed and translate these risks into concrete, preventative system and process requirements.
• Change Delivery: Support the Sanctions Change Delivery VP in overseeing and executing workstreams and actively driving the transformation agenda.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Deep Sanctions Knowledge: Expert‑level understanding of global Sanctions regimes (OFAC, UN, EU, UK) and the implications for a universal bank.
• Sanctions Programme BA Experience: Proven Business Analyst experience working specifically on major Sanctions Change/Transformation Programmes (e.g., screening vendor upgrades, case management deployments).
• Process Design & Re‑engineering: Significant hands‑on experience in process mapping, gap analysis, and designing efficient, compliant “To‑Be” Sanctions operating models.
• Sanctions Screening: Ability to articulate the main methods for Sanctions checking (e.g., batch screening, real‑time transaction screening, name screening) and the associated challenges.
• Stakeholder Influence: Proven track record of influencing, negotiating with, and managing challenging senior stakeholders in a complex financial services organisation.
• Regulatory Context: Understanding of the regulatory expectations and controls required to mitigate Financial Crime risk.

Hybrid working model: 3 days per week on‑site in Canary Wharf (Mon/Tues/Weds in office) and 2 days working from home remotely.

Fast‑paced, evolving environment with shifting priorities.

Hands‑on, autonomous role with no direct reports.

Candidates must be adaptable, confident, and able to contribute immediately.
