Investment Technology Business Analyst

Role Overview

This position offers genuine ownership rather than routine ticket handling, within a smaller asset management firm where technology is central. Most systems are developed internally, enabling close collaboration with creators to fully understand and influence future development.

Key Responsibilities

You act as the crucial intermediary between investment teams and technology, gathering requirements, analysing processes, pinpointing improvement opportunities, and translating them into actionable development tasks. Your involvement is direct and influential, not limited to documentation.

Due to the compact environment, you engage with a broad spectrum of projects across investment technology, covering areas such as order management, portfolio systems, data, and reporting. Career progression here is tangible and evident.

Culture

The workplace fosters a positive atmosphere with collaboration and continuous learning integrated into daily activities rather than reserved for formal reviews.

Candidate Profile

Applicants should possess a background in business analysis with some experience in financial services or investment management, exhibiting solid understanding of the investment lifecycle sufficient to communicate effectively with portfolio managers. Comfort with ambiguity, initiative-taking ability, and a desire to contribute meaningful work are essential.

This role suits candidates seeking their second or third position who are prepared to assume significant responsibility.
