About the Role

We are seeking a Business Analyst with proven expertise in finance (banking, trading, investment, or capital markets). This is the number one selection criterion: if you do not have professional experience in the financial sector, your application will not be considered.

In addition to strong financial knowledge, the candidate must also bring a solid technical background (SQL required) and the ability to balance both functional and technical aspects.

• Perform SQL-based data analysis, validation, and troubleshooting.
• Collaborate with developers, data teams, and infrastructure to design and implement solutions.
• Manage requirements and priorities across multiple concurrent projects.
• Communicate effectively with business and IT stakeholders in a hybrid/remote setup.
• Adapt quickly to evolving business and project needs.

Qualifications

Required Skills & Experience

• Finance expertise (mandatory): professional experience in banking, financial services, or capital markets. Applications without financial expertise will not be considered.
• Technical background (mandatory): strong SQL database knowledge is required. Experience with development tools/languages (Java, C++, VBA, COBOL, Oracle, Sybase, etc.) is a strong asset.
• Previous experience with financial applications such as Murex, Calypso, Openlink, or similar.
• Strong ability to combine functional analysis with technical execution.
• High adaptability to work on several projects simultaneously.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Additional Assets

• Experience with reporting or BI tools.
• Prior exposure to risk management systems or data governance platforms.
