About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead the initial analysis phase — document complex financial data structures, transformation logic, and end-to-end data lineage across ingestion, internal data models, and downstream feeds (ledger, risk/margin, audit).
Translate business and regulatory needs into clear, prioritised user stories, epics, and acceptance criteria.
Own and groom the product/team backlog; run sprint planning, stand-ups, and other Agile ceremonies; manage change control.
Act as the bridge between business stakeholders, client-side project managers, and the development team.
Stay engaged through the full UAT/SIT cycle — triage results, explain unusual outcomes, support bug resolution, and drive delivery of post-go-live enhancements (e.g. account/entity setup automation).
Collaborate effectively within a complex, controls-heavy banking environment.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Proven Business Analyst / Product Owner experience within Financial Services — ideally capital markets, prime services, derivatives, or a related institutional/investment-banking domain
Strong requirements-gathering, documentation, and stakeholder-management skills in large, complex organisations.
Experience with data-centric analysis — source-to-target mapping, data lineage/transformation documentation, and working with data flowing across multiple downstream systems.
Comfortable writing SQL and interrogating relational databases to validate data and investigate issues.
Hands-on Agile delivery experience, with the ability to self-manage a team (backlog ownership, sprint planning, Scrum Master / delivery-lead responsibilities).
Confident operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and communicating clearly across technical and business audiences.
Direct experience with Cleared OTC Derivatives and their trade lifecycle (clearing, margin, ledger/risk feeds) is a nice to have.
