Project description
An opportunity is available for a Collateral Migration Business Analyst to join our client, a leading Australian Financial Institute, to lead the migration of collateral management from a legacy system to Calypso. This role is a key contributor to a major post-trade transformation program, responsible for designing and delivering the end-to-end data migration strategy — moving existing collateral exposures, static data and cash positions into Calypso while ensuring data integrity, reconciliation and a controlled cutover into the client's clearing and settlement ecosystem.
Responsibilities
Design the end-to-end collateral migration strategy for moving data from the legacy system into Calypso, including migration approach, sequencing, controls and success criteria.
Migrate existing trade data into Calypso as Collateral Exposure trades, ensuring correct representation of collateral positions in the target platform.
Lead source-data discovery, data extraction, source-to-target mapping and transformation rules for static and transactional data.
Define and execute migration of static data — Counterparty, Standard Settlement Instructions (SDI) — and existing cash positions.
Set up and validate margin call contracts, including pricing, allocations, netting rules and eligibility, within a CCP collateral management context.
Build and maintain Calypso upload templates; manage loading, reconciliation and data-quality validation between source and target.
Prepare and own the migration run book, covering pre-migration checks, load sequence, validation gates, rollback and post-load reconciliation.
Lead end-to-end stakeholder configuration and coordination across business, operations, technology and vendor teams.
Participate in API design to integrate Calypso collateral data with upstream and downstream systems.
Plan and run dress rehearsals and cutover, acting as decision maker for migration sequencing.
Define controls, reconciliation checkpoints and success criteria; support defect resolution and production validation through go-live.
