Drives the analysis, specification, and documentation that enables engineering teams to build and deploy solutions supporting SWIFT MT-to-MX migration, ISO 20022 message processing, and integration with downstream screening, monitoring, reconciliation, and reporting platforms.

Responsibilities ·Elicit and document technical and functional requirements for ISO 20022 initiatives, translating CBPR+ guidelines and message definition reports into detailed specifications consumable by engineering squads. ·Perform element-level data mapping between MT fields (50, 52, 56, 57, 59, 70, 72) and ISO 20022 MX equivalents across pacs, camt, and pain families, specifying transformation rules, conditional logic, and exception handling. ·Conduct technical gap analysis on payment platforms, middleware, and downstream consumers to identify code changes, schema modifications, and new component requirements. ·Define system behavior for MT/MX co-existence scenarios including data truncation, character set conversion (UTF-8/Unicode), structured-to-unstructured mapping, and fallback logic. ·Design and document interface specifications (APIs, message queues, file-based integrations) between payment engines, SWIFT infrastructure, screening platforms, and enterprise data stores. ·Model end-to-end message flows across correspondent banking scenarios using sequence diagrams, data flow diagrams, and state transition diagrams. ·Define acceptance criteria, author test scenarios, support integration/system testing, and lead defect triage for SWIFT SR releases, CBPR+ changes, and market infrastructure migrations. ·Evaluate SWIFT standards releases for system impact and produce technical assessments informing backlog prioritization and release planning. ·Collaborate with screening and monitoring platform teams to specify extraction, transformation, and delivery of enriched ISO 20022 data to compliance engines.

Technical Qualifications ·8–12+ years as a BSA, Technical Analyst, or Systems Analyst within payments technology or financial messaging at a global financial institution. ·Expert knowledge of SWIFT MT messages (MT103, MT202, MT202COV, MT199, MT900/910, MT950) and ISO 20022 schemas (pacs.008, pacs.009, pacs.002, pacs.004, camt.053, camt.054, pain.001) including CBPR+ usage guidelines. ·Strong proficiency with XML/XSD, XPath, and XSLT for ISO 20022 message interpretation and transformation specification. ·Direct experience specifying integration logic for payment middleware (Volante, Bottomline, Axway, IBM MQ, Kafka, SWIFT Alliance Access/Gateway). ·Proficiency in SQL for data analysis, schema validation, and requirements verification against payment databases. ·Experience writing API and message queue interface contracts within a payments ecosystem. ·Familiarity with SWIFT network infrastructure (FIN, FINplus, InterAct, FileAct) and correspondent banking models (serial, cover, direct). ·Working knowledge of sanctions screening and transaction monitoring platforms from a technical integration perspective. Knowledge of travel rule (31 CFR 1010.410), FATF Recommendation 16, and OFAC screening requirements as system design drivers
