Lead Business Analyst – Treasury Management System (Contract)
Location: Reading (hybrid, 1 day per week)
Duration: Initial 3 Months with view to extend
Contract Type: Day Rate (Inside IR35)
Primark is seeking a Lead Business Analyst to support the implementation and evolution of our global Treasury ecosystem, centred on a new Treasury Management System (TMS) and its surrounding integrations. This role is critical in ensuring Treasury, Finance, Tax, and Technology are aligned across a highly regulated, multi‑system environment.
You’ll work across Primark and our parent company, carrying out significant requirement gathering, validating existing BA documentation, and challenging assumptions with confidence. A strong financial background is essential.
What You’ll Do
* Lead end‑to‑end requirement gathering across Treasury, Finance, Tax, AP and external partners
* Validate and refine existing BA documentation, ensuring accuracy and completeness
* Analyse Treasury processes (payments, cash visibility, FX, confirmations, accounting, reporting)
* Define system interactions, data flows, and integration requirements across the TMS landscape
* Identify dependencies, risks, and control gaps, ensuring visibility for delivery teams
* Support testing and validate outputs against Treasury and Finance expectations
* Act as the functional expert for Treasury components during delivery and early life support
* Produce high‑quality artefacts: BRDs, functional specs, process flows, impact assessments
* Collaborate with Product Owners, Engineers, SIs, and vendors to resolve requirement gaps
What You’ll Bring
* Proven experience as a Lead Business Analyst in Treasury, Finance Systems, or Banking
* Strong understanding of Treasury processes: cash management, payments, FX, confirmations, bank statements, accounting flows
* Experience working in integration‑heavy, multi‑system environments
* Ability to challenge stakeholders confidently, backed by strong financial knowledge
* Excellent communication skills — able to simplify complex issues without losing accuracy
* Comfortable working with ambiguity and progressively shaping scope
* Strong stakeholder engagement across Finance, Treasury, Technology, and external partners
Tech Landscape You’ll Work With
* Treasury Management Systems (e.g., FIS Integrity)
* Banking connectivity & payment platforms
* Market data & trading platforms (Bloomberg, 360T)
* Confirmation/matching tools (e.g., Finastra)
* Regulatory reporting (e.g., Regis TR)
* Oracle Financials
* API & file‑based integrations
Why This Role Matters
You’ll be shaping and stabilising a full Treasury ecosystem, not just a standalone TMS. Success depends on ensuring upstream/downstream integrations, controls, and visibility requirements are fully understood and correctly implemented.
