Senior Technical Business Analyst

Auckland, Wellington

Lead the way.

A great place to work. With great work to do.

Ours is a meaningful and impactful role, as a kaitiaki (caretaker) of the financial services in Aotearoa. We oversee a market that does right by everyone, ensuring better outcomes for all New Zealanders. Our role as a kaitiaki is brought to life by our values : Look to the Horizon, Help the TeamWork, Make the Calls and Open Hearts, Open Minds.

Join us as a Senior Technical Business Analyst, where you’ll play a pivotal role in bridging business needs with technical delivery. This is a hands‑on role that combines analytical rigour with collaboration, helping to design and implement user‑centred, fit‑for‑purpose solutions that enable smarter ways of working across Financial Markets Authority.

Your work will span multiple areas, including people systems and integrations, finance transformation, knowledge management tooling, and CRM enhancements. You’ll partner with product leads, architects, integration specialists, and vendors to ensure solutions are technically robust, strategically aligned, and grounded in measurable business value.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to :

• Leading the elicitation, analysis, and documentation of business and technical requirements in collaboration with product leads, architects, and end users
• Conducting current‑state assessments of systems, data flows, and business processes to inform robust, well‑aligned solutions
• Translating complex requirements into clear, actionable artefacts (e.g. user stories, process flows, data mappings) that support development and implementation
• Supporting delivery teams with backlog refinement, testing coordination, defect triage, and ensuring acceptance criteria are met

You will be an experienced Senior Business Analyst with strong technical acumen and a track record of delivering complex system and process improvements. You’ll be able to confidently elicit, document, and translate requirements into practical solutions that balance technical feasibility with business needs.

You’ll be comfortable engaging with both technical and non‑technical audiences through various measures, including facilitating workshops, challenging assumptions, and guiding stakeholders through ambiguity. You’ll have experience across the full delivery lifecycle, from requirements gathering and process modelling to testing and adoption support.

Ideally, you’ll have experience with tools and practices such as Dynamics 365 and Power Platform, and qualifications or exposure to Lean or Design Thinking approaches. Knowledge of regulated environments or compliance‑driven initiatives is advantageous, as is familiarity with finance systems, HRIS platforms, and integration design.

We offer some great benefits including a 4% KiwiSaver contribution, health and life insurance cover, paid leave over the Christmas period, a generous $1,500 refer‑a‑friend bonus as well as an ability to swap public holiday leave with other days that mean more to you. Additionally, we have exceptional learning and development opportunities including access to leadership development, technical training, and external coaching.

At the FMA we’re committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic self to work each day. We offer a range of wellness and social activities designed to support our people with aspects of their personal and professional lives and genuinely connect with their colleagues.
