Job Description

Established in 1988, Rest is one of Australia’s largest profit-to-member superannuation funds.

We support more than two million members, with around $100 billion of funds under management and are recognised as a responsible investment leader*. We believe when members understand and engage with their super, they’re more likely to get a better retirement outcome.

Everything we do at Rest is underpinned by our values and behaviours, we want to Be Daring, Keep it Simple, Take Action and Have Grit. To put it simply we want our people to thrive and love the work they do.

Rest’s Data, Technology and Delivery (DTD) business unit is accountable for planning and preparing the organisation for the future through strategic technology innovation, while also charting business strategy and executing for today and tomorrow.

Situated in the Business Analysis Practice, this Senior Business Analyst role has two clear priorities.

You will support the Product Owner, Business Owner and Sponsors to ensure business needs and solution options are understood.
You will ensure the product, platform, or project team has a shared understanding of requirements through clear written and verbal communication. 

If you enjoy working at the intersection of complex delivery, strong stakeholder alignment, and meaningful outcomes, this is a great opportunity to make an impact.

What you will do

• Deliver clearly defined requirements and user stories that accurately capture business systems, processes, and user needs, using strong analysis, validation, and mapping techniques. 
• Engage, negotiate and prioritise stakeholder requirements to drive alignment and support sound decision-making. 
• Create actionable, visually driven models and documentation (including process mapping and story mapping) that translate complex flows into clear business rules. 
• Manage a dynamic requirements lifecycle, prioritising critical functionality based on complexity, feasibility, and business value.
• Maintain strong, practical communication with Engineers, Testers, Change Managers, and external partners so delivery teams understand the “why” and the “what”. 
• Proactively identify risks and issues, and partner with the Project Manager to propose mitigations aligned to established risk frameworks. 

Domain experience (important for success in this role)

We are particularly interested in candidates who can bring investment and regulatory domain depth, including:

• Ability to interpret regulatory obligations and translate them into end-to-end investment processes, controls, and high quality requirements documentation.
• Good understanding of the OTC derivatives lifecycle (trade capture, confirmations, clearing, settlement, collateral management, valuations, and lifecycle processing across Rates, FX, Credit, and other derivative products).
• Demonstrated experience supporting or delivering ASIC Derivative Transaction Reporting (DTR) (or equivalent), including UTI and UPI management, reconciliations, exception handling, and supporting control frameworks. 
• Understanding of superannuation investment operating models, including investment structures, governance frameworks, and key internal and external stakeholders.
• Exposure to front and middle office investment systems. Experience with platforms such as Charles River, BlackRock Aladdin, SimCorp Dimension or Rimes Matrix is advantageous but not essential.

Qualifications
