Senior Technical Business Analyst

ABOUT US

We’re the world’s leading provider of secure financial messaging services, headquartered in Belgium. We are the way the world moves value – across borders, through cities and overseas. No other organisation can address the scale, precision, pace and trust that this demands, and we’re proud to support the global economy.

We’re unique too. We were established to find a better way for the global financial community to move value – a reliable, safe and secure approach that the community can trust, completely. We’re always striving to be better and are constantly evolving in an ever-changing landscape, without undermining that trust. Five decades on, our vibrant community reflects the complexity and diversity of the financial ecosystem. We innovate diligently, test exhaustively, then implement fast. In a connected and exciting era, our mission has never been more relevant. Swift now has a presence in 200+ countries and legal territories to serve a community of more than 12,000 banks and financial institutions.

We are looking for a Senior Requirements Engineer/Business Analyst to contribute to the success of MyStandards, a Swift solution for financial institutions and their communities to define, publish, and test Standards. The platform itself is a web-based application developed and operated by Swift, serving financial institutions and their communities from payments, securities, treasury and trade across the world.
