Senior AssociateJob Description & Summary
Are you ready to make a difference? PwC Austria, with around 1,500 people across 5 locations, is one of the country’s largest audit and consulting firms. Here, success means shaping the world of tomorrow. By engaging with leading organisations, we set new standards – and empower you to make an impact that goes far beyond PwC. Start your journey now.We are looking for an IT Business Analyst with 5+ years of experience in Digital Lending Transformation projects at major European banks or financial institutions, to act as the functional-domain backbone of a delivery-led service offer focused on SME lending origination.
On a solid IT business-analysis foundation, this role puts domain depth first: the successful candidate bridges business needs and IT solutions, knows how SME lending origination actually works, and can turn regulatory and business requirements into concrete design. Beyond delivery, they co-author the offer's reusable assets and support business development. Client-facing pre-sales is done in support of the offer lead rather than owned end-to-end.
The candidate works closely with business stakeholders, developers, testers and project managers to ensure solutions meet business objectives and regulatory requirements.
Key responsibilities in our team
Domain & regulation
•Own the SME origination domain:Be the reference point across application intake, KYC/onboarding, creditworthiness assessment, underwriting, decisioning, offer, disbursement and monitoring.
•Translate regulation into design: Assess the impact of regulatory change (e.g. EBA Loan Origination & Monitoring guidelines) on lending systems and turn obligations into testable requirements, controls and target-state processes.
•Co-author reusable assets:Build, with the offer lead, the capability reference model, the vendor-selection framework (scoring, RFI/RFP, TCO), the integration reference architecture and the governance & migration playbook.
•Drive fit-gap and platform assessment:Assess origination platforms against a capability reference model and lead structured fit-gap analysis.
•Support pre-sales: Contribute domain credibility to pitches, proposals and client workshops, in support of the offer lead.
IT business analysis & delivery
•Gather, analyze and document functional and technical requirements related to lending products and processes.
•Translate business needs into clear, structured documentation (Business Requirement Documents, User Stories, Use Cases).
•Collaborate with development teams to ensure alignment between technical implementation and business goals.
•Support functional testing and coordinate UAT (User Acceptance Testing).
•Monitor project progress, identify issues and contribute to their resolution.
Requirements:
•5+ years as an IT Business Analyst in Digital Lending Transformation projects.
•Proven track record delivering complex IT projects in Financial Services (traditional banks, digital banks or fintech), ideally including a delivered SME (or commercial) lending origination transformation.
•EBA LOM fluency — able to translate the guidelines into requirements and controls.
•Familiarity with creditworthiness and affordability assessment in an origination context, enough to work with risk teams. Exposure to automated decisioning solutions (e.g. credit decision engines) is valued.
•Process modeling tools and methodologies (BPMN, UML).
•Project-management and ticketing tools (JIRA, Confluence).
•Working experience with relational databases and SQL.
•Comfortable navigating complex IT architectures; integration and data literacy (APIs, core-banking touchpoints, data flows for decisioning).
•Familiarity with the origination platform providers landscape.
•Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; comfortable structuring ambiguity and building from a blank page.
•Effective communication and interpersonal abilities, credible in front of senior client stakeholders.
•Able to work independently and collaboratively in cross-functional teams.
•Proactive mindset with a focus on continuous improvement
