Senior Program Strategy Analyst

Job Summary

The Senior Program Strategy Analyst is responsible for working independently and collaboratively across all CSBS business units in analyzing data and current state business processes, operating models, state and institutional policies, and regulatory requirements to develop functional designs and business strategies for an improved target state that aligns with the organization’s mission and strategic plan for the use of digital platforms and tools that promote effective and efficient supervision and licensing of financial institutions.

The Senior Program Strategy Analyst reports to the Senior Vice President, Program Manager of the CSBS Program Management Office (PgMO).

The Senior Program Strategy Analyst will contribute to this process by facilitating discovery and current state analysis among subject matter experts across multiple business disciplines and synthesizing findings into target state and implementation proposals. This includes the need to perform data analysis, business analysis, financial analysis, risk analysis, and a review of potential solutions, including solutions offered by external technology providers.

Demonstrated experience performing fit/gap analysis for complex business workflows, data modeling, business and functional requirements engineering, business process design, and proficiency with financial analysis and project accounting are essential for this duty.
