This is a consultancy mission at a client site, where you will represent Keystone Solutions as an Expert Business Analyst KYC. As a Keystone Solutions consultant, you will be hired to work on client projects, bringing your expertise to dynamic environments and contributing to impactful transformation initiatives.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the end-to-end analysis and implementation of KYC regulatory changes, ensuring compliance with EU/local regulations (AML/CTF), client group policies, and audit requirements.
• Interpret regulatory texts (such as EU AML directives and Belgian KYC laws) and translate them into actionable business and technical requirements, validated with Compliance, Legal, and Risk teams.
• Define and prioritize KYC-specific requirements (including customer due diligence, UBO identification, sanctions screening) and use cases for IT systems, ensuring full traceability to regulatory sources.
• Design and optimize KYC business processes to address regulatory changes, ensuring scalability across branches, mid-offices, and brands.
• Collaborate with Product Owners, Architects, and IT teams to translate regulatory requirements into technical specifications, metrics, and controls for KYC systems (such as transaction monitoring tools).
• Drive requirements traceability from regulation to implementation, conducting impact analyses for policy changes (such as new sanctions lists and risk methodology updates).
• Lead quality reviews of designs, prototypes, and test plans to certify compliance with regulatory and business requirements.
• Manage the Business Analyst workstream autonomously, including planning, risk mitigation, and reporting progress to senior stakeholders.
• Serve as the KYC Subject Matter Expert for cross-functional teams and external vendors (such as KYC tool providers).
• Mentor junior Business Analysts on KYC regulatory analysis and banking-specific requirements engineering.

Requirements:

• At least 8 years of relevant experience as a business analyst in a regulatory environment, with significant expertise in the KYC domain.
• Strong ability to document and visualize KYC processes (customer onboarding, risk assessment, monitoring) using standard modeling techniques.
• Proficient in requirements management tools (JIRA, Confluence) to track regulatory changes and maintain compliance documentation.
• Skilled in MS Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Visio) for creating clear process documentation and regulatory reports.
• Familiar with KYC systems and tools used in banking (such as customer screening, transaction monitoring, case management).
• Experience with testing KYC processes to ensure they meet regulatory requirements.
• Ability to analyze regulatory texts and translate them into clear business requirements for IT and operations teams.
• Deep understanding of KYC workflow processes, including customer onboarding, due diligence, risk assessment, and ongoing monitoring in a banking context.
• Proven experience in the KYC domain within a project context, including implementation of regulatory changes, policy updates, and system enhancements (not purely operational).
• Strong affinity with IT concepts and systems, enabling effective collaboration with technical teams, architects, and vendors to align business needs with IT solutions.
• Experience working in a scaled agile environment, including Squad/Chapter/Tribe structures, with the ability to adapt to evolving priorities and regulatory deadlines.
• Familiarity with agile methodologies (such as Scrum, Kanban) and requirements management practices to ensure traceability and compliance in KYC projects.
• Ability to bridge business and IT, translating regulatory and business requirements into clear, actionable deliverables for development and testing teams.
• Previous experience within a major banking environment is a plus.
• Masters degree or equivalent.
• Strong written and spoken communication skills in Dutch or French, and English.

Soft Skills:

• Analytical and conceptual thinking to interpret complex KYC regulations and translate them into practical business solutions.
• Strong negotiation and persuasion skills to align stakeholders on regulatory requirements and priorities.
• Structured and methodical approach to manage KYC projects with clear traceability from regulation to implementation.
• Self-driven and autonomous, capable of leading KYC initiatives with minimal supervision while meeting tight regulatory deadlines.
• Problem-solving mindset to identify gaps in KYC processes and propose compliant, risk-based solutions.
• Quality-focused with meticulous attention to detail to ensure accuracy in regulatory documentation and compliance evidence.
• Goal-oriented with a results-driven approach to deliver KYC projects on time and in line with audit and regulatory expectations.
• Adaptable and resilient in a dynamic regulatory environment, open to evolving KYC policies and agile ways of working.
