Overview
Our client, a leading global financial services institution, is delivering a major transformation of its Wholesale Lending operations and systems. We are seeking Associates (2–5 years) and Senior Associates (5–10 years) who bring practical experience using Loan IQ and/or ACBS and can apply that knowledge in a project, change, and transformation environment.

This role is ideal for individuals stepping out of day‑to‑day loan operations into consulting, transformation, or project delivery work.

Key Responsibilities

Loan System Knowledge Applied in a Transformation Environment

• Use hands‑on understanding of Loan IQ and/or ACBS to support system migration, platform change and data remediation programmes.

• Interpret how existing operational processes map into the target platform and highlight differences, risks and required adjustments.

• Provide subject‑matter insights on transaction flows, system behaviour, reference data structures and end‑to‑end loan lifecycle logic.

• Identify data quality issues and operational risks during migration, supporting the development of remediation plans.

• Support functional and data mapping between current and target systems, ensuring the technical teams correctly understand business rules.

Change & Transformation Delivery

• Participate in change impact assessments, future‑state process design and operating model re‑engineering for lending operations.

• Support planning and execution of system migrations, including data validation, reconciliation and cutover readiness.

• Assist with defining requirements, documenting process gaps, and creating business documentation for system changes.

• Work closely with client teams to understand pain points and translate operational experience into practical recommendations.

Testing & Quality Assurance

• Support SIT and UAT cycles by validating functionality, workflows and data behaviour in Loan IQ/ACBS environments.

• Create and execute test scenarios based on real operational knowledge.

• Log, track, and help resolve defects, ensuring system build aligns with business needs.

Stakeholder & Client Engagement

• Work with client SMEs, technology teams and PwC project managers to ensure clarity of requirements and project deliverables.

• Communicate findings, risks, issues and dependencies clearly and professionally.

• Present updates, analysis and recommendations to internal and external stakeholders.

Analysis & Reporting

• Use strong Excel and analytical skills to support data analysis, gap assessments, reconciliation logic and MI/reporting.

• Analyse large datasets to identify mismatches or migration defects and provide insights to solution design teams.

Skills and Experience

Associate (2–5 years)

• 2–5 years of experience using Loan IQ and/or ACBS in an operational setting and able to apply this knowledge in a project environment.
