• Create functional designs, mapping user interactions, system behaviors, and data flows with clarity and precision.
• Offer domain expertise to development teams, ensuring deep understanding of user needs and operational workflows.
• Assess current internal and third-party solutions to identify reuse opportunities or integration paths.
• Participate in technical discussions, understand system architecture constraints, and ensure proposed solutions are feasible and sustainable.
• Lead functional validation efforts, conduct user scenario testing (BDD), and support production go-live readiness.
• Evaluate how changes may affect service agreements (SLAs/OLAs) and maintain high-quality standards throughout delivery.
• Help onboard new team members, provide guidance, and troubleshoot complex business-related issues.
• Coordinate with functional architects and IT infrastructure teams to ensure seamless system integration and operational harmony.
• Contribute to deliverables including estimates, test scenarios, user documentation, and project planning inputs.

What we are looking for:

• At least 5 years of experience as a Business Analyst within a financial institution, specifically in Market Data or Capital Markets domains.
• Strong knowledge of financial instruments including FX, Bonds, Interest Rates, and Equities, and a solid grasp of the full trade lifecycle.
• Demonstrated experience in handling static market data and data vendors (e.g., Bloomberg, Refinitiv).
• Solid hands-on skills with SQL and Excel; experience with Python or R for data analysis is a plus.
• Comfortable working with FPML and understanding of data schemas.
• Willingness to participate in L3 support activities as needed.
• Proven experience translating business needs into technical documentation and testable specifications.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with an ability to adapt your style for technical and non-technical audiences alike.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience working in multicultural teams and communicating across different cultures.
• Project management exposure or experience with delivery tracking tools (JIRA, SharePoint, Confluence).
• Familiarity with back-office systems like Calypso, front-office tools, or market risk systems.
• Comfort with tools like Visio, MS Project, GIT, or UML for modeling and documentation.
