About the Role
We’re looking for a Business Analyst to join our Trading team. You’ll be working on trading and custody-related initiatives, leading discovery, shaping requirements, and ensuring smooth delivery into engineering within a regulated fintech environment.
This role is ideal for someone who’s analytical, structured, and proactive, with strong ownership of discovery and the ability to translate complex regulatory and trading requirements into clear, actionable plans.
You’ll work closely with engineers, product managers, compliance, operations, and custody teams, and have the autonomy to own solutions from end to end — from early-stage technical scoping through to delivery handover.
What You’ll Do
- Lead discovery for trading and custody projects, turning ambiguous problems into clear plans and prioritised backlogs
- Define and document technical scoping (must-have), including system interactions, data flows, and feasibility considerations
- Produce development-ready requirements, including acceptance criteria, process maps, and compliance considerations
- Create structured discovery briefs outlining problem statements, options, regulatory constraints, and recommended solutions
- Coordinate across Compliance, Operations, Custody, and Engineering to ensure alignment before build starts
- Support vendor evaluation and integration workstreams, including gap analysis and integration documentation
- Analyse current systems and processes to identify inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement
- Contribute to projects such as trade netting, settlement optimisation (T+1), and trading/vendor changes
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience as a Business Analyst within financial services, ideally across trading, custody, or settlement domains
- Strong experience with technical scoping and working with engineering teams on system design and integrations
- Solid understanding of data flows, APIs, and system architecture (sufficient to challenge and collaborate with engineers)
- Excellent analytical and documentation skills (process mapping, requirements, gap analysis)
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Experience working in regulated environments, with awareness of compliance and audit considerations
- Proven ability to independently own discovery and deliver high-quality outputs
- English fluency (C1 level and above) — we are a UK-based company, and the role involves regular communication with the team
Nice to Have
- Experience with third-party vendor integrations (evaluation, onboarding, and documentation)
- Background in fintech or high-growth start-ups
- Familiarity with trading platforms, execution flows, or best execution monitoring
- Experience working on settlement optimisation or post-trade processes
