We are currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of a Technical Business Analyst with “Capital Market”.

The ideal candidate should possess the following qualifications:

• You’re an experienced production support person or Business Analyst with a technical background – ideally comfortable with some coding languages; or a Developer that’s comfortable speaking with users to gather requirements and providing support.

• You are an excellent communicator and are comfortable communicating to senior leadership and internal teams such as compliance and are able to range up and down the detail depending on your audience. Stepping into a crisis would not phase you, able to coordinate and run complex operational incidents staying calm and in control of the situation.

• Strong familiarity with the FIX protocol.
• You should have experience using OMS/EMS and Cash Equities. You can matrix manage within a large team, establishing solid relationships and trust built on proven delivery.
• Exposure with various Exchanges/Market connectivity and Trading Life cycle.
• Ability to work effectively with the trading desk.
• Flexibility in terms of time (early morning rota) and supporting the trading desk.
