Overview

You will join a small, highly collaborative engineering-side team (not a traditional business BA environment). The role blends business analysis, functional Murex expertise, data understanding, and the ability to guide technical teams through product changes.

• Translate business requirements into clear functional specifications for engineering teams.

• Guide the team through functional changes that have technical impacts; participate in whiteboarding and in-person solutioning sessions.
• Work closely with product leads, the technology team, and business partners to support new asset classes, trade types, or events (e.g., share re-rates, lending scenarios).
• Use Jira, Confluence, and ServiceNow for backlog management, documentation, and incident tracking.
• Leverage modern tools-including AI-to accelerate analysis, documentation, and solution creation.
• Support knowledge sharing and help level up newer team members.
• Contribute to an Agile Scrum environment and participate in sprint ceremonies.

Must-Have Qualifications

• 5+ years as a Business Analyst in financial markets or capital markets technology.
• Strong SQL experience (5+ years) - able to independently pull and analyze data, review existing reports, and troubleshoot data issues (no DBA-level tuning required).
• Murex functional knowledge - understanding of how trades, products, and events flow through Murex.
• Experience in Agile/Scrum, with hands-on use of Jira, Confluence, and ServiceNow.
• Ability to bridge the gap between business and technology-this team sits fully on the engineering side.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills for in-person team sessions.
• Comfort operating in a hybrid environment (4 days in office; Tue/Thu are core collaboration days).
• Curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, teaching, and continuous improvement.
• Interest in or familiarity with modern AI tools to accelerate productivity.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Linux/bash
• Python or Java
• Experience working in both product and BA capacities
• Background in capital markets, trade lifecycle, or risk systems beyond Murex
