* Technical Duties: Batch job operations (e.g. Control-M) and testing support (SIT/UAT).

* Conduct Impact Assessment between Down-Stream & Up-Stream Systems

* Systems Analyst Role With Functional Expertise on Transaction Monitoring (NIICE Actimize Software preferred): Configure/design rules on Actimize.

2. Actimize Rules and Scenarios - Actimize comes with pre-built "rules" or "scenarios" that detect suspicious activity based on defined logic. Functional expertise means you understand: How these rules work (e.g., thresholds, transaction patterns, risk scoring).

Customize or calibrate rules to suit a bank's risk appetite or regulatory focus. Examples of rules: Structuring: Multiple smaller deposits just below the reporting threshold.
