Your Impact

The Functional Business Analyst will play a key role in understanding core system features and capabilities related to commercial finance, equipment leasing, asset‑backed lending, and floor planning, translating client needs into effective business and technical solutions.

In this role, you will:

• Analyze and interpret client business requirements across commercial lending and leasing processes, including credit origination, underwriting, contract structuring, funding, servicing, asset tracking, billing, collections, and end‑of‑term management.
• Design intuitive user experiences, operational workflows, and data requirements tailored to commercial finance and dealer financing operations.
• Identify required reference data such as asset details, pricing parameters, credit rules, amortization structures, and dealer hierarchy information.
• Review, write, and update business requirements, functional specifications, and business process documentation for proposed solutions.
• Create detailed business process review documents that translate analysis results into actionable solution changes.
• Define and document interfaces across systems, including CRM platforms, credit decision engines, document management systems, funding and settlement systems, dealer portals, and general ledger integrations.
• Support the entire project lifecycle—from initial discovery and solution design through configuration, testing, deployment, client onboarding, and post‑production support.
• Serve as a key liaison between clients, development teams, product teams, and support, ensuring solutions meet business needs and operational expectations.
• Participate in Agile project teams; familiarity with Agile and Scrum methodologies is beneficial.

What the Role Offers

• An opportunity to work with a leading solutions provider in the commercial finance and leasing market, supporting clients across equipment finance, asset‑backed lending, and floor plan financing.
• Close collaboration with a dedicated team of Business Analysts and Developers focused on improving delivery timelines and evolving solution capabilities across a growing client base.
• Exposure to complex, high‑impact projects that help financial institutions digitize, automate, and optimize their commercial lending operations.
• A chance to contribute to product evolution in a rapidly changing commercial finance landscape where automation, compliance, and customer experience drive innovation.

What You Need to Succeed

• Bachelor’s degree and significant experience in commercial finance, equipment leasing, floor planning, dealer financing, or related financial services domains.
• Strong functional knowledge of end‑to‑end lending and leasing processes, including origination, credit assessment, funding, contract lifecycle management, servicing, collections, and end‑of‑term workflows.
• Experience with applications and platforms that support commercial lending, leasing, or dealer financing (e.g., loan origination systems, lease management systems, credit decision engines, dealer portals).
• Ability to simplify and streamline complex financial or operational processes.
• Excellent verbal communication skills — this role is highly client‑facing and requires leading workshops, interviews, and design sessions.
• Excellent written communication skills — including the ability to clearly document requirements, functional specifications, process flows, and interface definitions.
• Experience reviewing and mapping business processes within commercial lending or leasing operations.
• Familiarity with compliance, risk management, asset tracking, reconciliation, and reporting requirements within commercial finance is an asset.
• Experience working within Agile delivery environments, particularly Scrum, is beneficial.
