Senior Business Analyst - Advisory and Proposition (Aladdin Wealth)

PROPOSITION AND ADVISORY JOURNEY

Elicit and document business needs for advisory and discretionary offerings on Aladdin Wealth.

Map and assess end-to-end advisory journeys: client onboarding, discovery and profiling, proposal, approval, execution handoff, monitoring and review.

Define business roles, handoffs, approval authorities and service expectations with the relevant owners.

Compare current processes with the intended Aladdin Wealth operating model; recommend process changes where appropriate and document genuine product or implementation gaps.

PROPOSAL MANAGEMENT

Document and validate the required proposal lifecycle, including creation, versioning, comparison, approval, status changes, documents and audit trail, subject to the functionality in scope and available in the client setup.

Specify required proposal content: holdings, allocation, costs and charges, rationale and advisor commentary.

Elicit business rules for proposal expiry, revision or re-issue, rejection and partial acceptance; confirm feasibility and audit implications with product owners, Compliance and the Technical Analyst.

PORTFOLIO, RECOMMENDATION AND SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS

Elicit and document requirements for model portfolios, house views, recommendations and rebalancing from the authorised investment and product owners; do not substitute for their investment decision-making.

Document restricted-product rules, advisor overrides and the rationale or evidence that must be captured.

Define business requirements for client profiling, suitability, portfolio risk alignment, drift and out-of-tolerance thresholds with the authorised business, investment and Compliance owners.

Specify desired monitoring and alerting: trigger, recipient, required advisor action and evidence of resolution.

Define business requirements for household and relationship hierarchies, aggregation and held-away or out-of-scope assets.

REGULATORY AND CONTROL

Work with Compliance and Risk to document requirements for suitability, appropriateness, cost and charges disclosure, mandate monitoring and applicable local regulation.

Define evidence and audit requirements for advice and confirm with Compliance how they should be met in the target process.

Represent the business in control and governance forums; record decisions and owners.

REQUIREMENTS, VALIDATION AND ADOPTION

Produce business requirements, process flows, business rules, user stories and acceptance criteria that delivery teams can build and test against.

Prioritise requirements with product owners and document scope trade-offs.

Specify what information the business needs to see and how it will be used; hand data definitions, mappings and interface requirements to the Technical Analyst.

Validate delivered workflows and business-visible data against approved requirements; raise discrepancies for investigation rather than making unverified technical assumptions.

Plan and run business UAT with advisors; own functional triage and business sign-off.

Support advisor readiness through training, super-user materials, communications, feedback sessions and post-go-live support.
