We are seeking an experienced Technical Business Systems Analyst to support a global financial services client environment. This role sits at the intersection of business, data, and technology, and plays a key role in enabling data‑driven decision making, supporting critical platforms, and delivering change across business and technology teams.
The role is heavily focused on BAU data provisioning with end‑to‑end ownership of data onboarding, issue investigation and resolution, and continuous improvement, operating within an Agile delivery model.
The successful candidate will be hands‑on, proactive, and accountable, with strong financial services / capital markets domain knowledge, solid SQL skills, and the ability to decompose complex business logic, understand existing technical implementations, and work closely with business stakeholders and engineering teams to ensure the reliable, high‑quality delivery of data products.
Key Responsibilities:
Own end‑to‑end delivery and support of financial services data products, from requirement intake through production support, ensuring stability, accuracy, and timeliness.
Act as the primary Technical BSA for BAU and production data issues, taking accountability for root cause analysis, remediation, and prevention of recurring issues.
Partner with business stakeholders to translate financial domain business needs into clear, actionable functional and technical specifications, including data mappings, transformations, and validation rules.
Work closely with data engineering and technology teams to analyze existing data logic, review SQL and code, and validate that implementations align with business intent.
Proactively monitor and assess data quality, identify issues early, and drive resolution through to completion rather than simple escalation.
Support Agile delivery by contributing to backlog refinement, sprint planning, story breakdown, acceptance criteria, and release readiness.
Collaborate with Front Office, Risk, Operations, and downstream consumers to clarify requirements, resolve data questions, and ensure shared understanding of outputs and impacts.
Ensure data solutions meet production‑grade standards, including stability, accuracy, traceability, auditability, and operational resilience.
Continuously improve BAU processes, controls, and documentation, reducing operational risk and improving transparency and efficiency.
Proactively identify opportunities for process optimisation, automation, and improved data controls, incorporating best practices across financial services data delivery.
