About the role
As a Senior Consultant, Asset Management Data Reporting, you will make an impact by combining hands-on business and data analysis with Agile delivery and release coordination to support the development and modernization of an enterprise reporting platform. You will be a valued member of the Client Information Delivery team and work collaboratively with business stakeholders, data analysts, technology teams, the Cognizant lead, and client partners.
This is a hands-on role with approximately 60% focused on Business/Data Analysis and data wrangling and 40% focused on Sprint and Release Management coordination. You will serve as a peer leader to the analyst team, facilitating Agile delivery and coordinating releases without formal people-management responsibility.
In this role, you will:
Analyze, profile, reconcile, and wrangle investment data across holdings, transactions, account and security reference data, risk, and attribution, using SQL to deliver accurate and consistent reporting and platform enhancements.
Partner with business stakeholders to assess, prioritize, and route reporting and data requests, including facilitating the weekly Salesforce request intake process and supporting transformation and modernization initiatives.
Facilitate sprint readiness, planning, daily scrums, retrospectives, backlog management, prioritization, and team capacity planning in Jira while continuing to contribute directly to analysis and delivery work.
Coordinate ServiceNow change and release management activities, including change requests, approvals, bi-weekly releases, QA smoke testing, analyst validation, stakeholder communications, and IT process documentation.
Support the Cognizant lead and client teams with PI planning preparation, monthly reporting, ad hoc analysis, platform enhancements, and delivery coordination across business and technology teams.
Work model – Hybrid
We believe hybrid work is the way forward as we strive to provide flexibility wherever possible. Based on this role’s business requirements, this is a hybrid position requiring 3–4 days a week in the Wellington office in Needham, Massachusetts. Regardless of your working arrangement, we are here to support a healthy work-life balance through our various wellbeing programs. The working arrangements for this role are accurate as of the date of posting. This may change based on the project you’re engaged in, as well as business and client requirements. Rest assured; we will always be clear about role expectations.

Progressive experience in Business Analysis, Data Analysis, Investment Reporting, or Data Delivery within Asset Management, Investment Management, or Financial Services.

Hands-on Agile experience facilitating sprint ceremonies and managing Jira backlogs, priorities, capacity, dependencies, and sprint commitments for an analyst or technology delivery team.
Experience with release and change management processes, including ServiceNow change requests, approvals, testing, validation, and release coordination.
Ability to balance hands-on Business/Data Analysis responsibilities with Scrum facilitation and release coordination.
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills with the ability to prioritize competing business requests and communicate system and reporting changes clearly.
