Opening our new Madrid office this summer marks an exciting next chapter, and we're growing our team in order to write it.

Our strength lies in market data, delivering reliable, accurate information through a powerful suite of tools, spanning Data Intelligence, Wealth Management solutions, and Trading & Investor solutions, that our users depend on every day. Today, we are one of Europe's leading providers of market data and financial software, helping professionals navigate markets with confidence and speed.

About the Role

We are looking for a Business Analyst - Financial Markets to help build the business analysis layer within our Data Intelligence business unit. You will identify emerging market and customer needs, turn them into a clear long-term vision, and help translate that vision into a product and technology roadmap.

This role sits between financial markets, data, product, and technology. You will work closely with customers across Europe and collaborate with product managers, developers, quantitative specialists, and content teams across Europe.

Responsibilities

• Analyze future market trends and growth areas, e.g. AI-native financial-data infrastructure, valuation & risk, private markets, fixed-income/high-yield analytics, evaluated pricing, ETPs, T+1/T+0, wealth/advisory workflows and tokenized assets.
• Track regulatory developments and their commercial/product implications, e.g. ESAP, RIS, MiFID, CCI, AVD and related initiatives.
• Analyze customer tasks, processes and end-to-end workflows.
• Define client personas, use cases, pain points and specific requirements.
• Identify opportunities for internal process optimization and automation.
• Assess new product/service opportunities and support business cases.
• Translate findings into structured requirements for Product Management.
• Define requirements for Content Analysts, Product, Development and Operations regarding data, coverage, quality, reliability and enrichment.
• Support prototypes, client validation and early go-to-market activities.

• Strong communication skills and the confidence to engage directly with customers.
• A collaborative, proactive approach and the ability to work effectively across disciplines.
• Curiosity about market trends, regulation, technology, and evolving customer needs.

What success looks like

In your first months, you will build an understanding of our products, teams, and current priorities before taking ownership of defined analysis topics. Over time, you will help lead the thinking behind our roadmap: identifying what is changing in financial markets, determining what customers will need next, and enabling product and technology teams to turn that vision into reality.

Our offer

• Health & wellness: Benefit from wellbeing initiatives tailored to local needs, including access to an employee assistance programme that provides confidential support to employees and their families.
• Holiday: Enjoy competitive holiday entitlement aligned with local markets, so you can rest and recharge.
• Remote work: Enjoy the opportunity to work one day a week from home, with flexible working hours where possible. You may also request to work up to four weeks per year from a different location.
• Learning & development: Support your career progression with access to learning resources, ongoing conversations with your manager, and opportunities to share the knowledge you gain with your team.
• Culture & impact: Be part of an international team with a startup mindset and play a key role in making a meaningful impact.
• Our offices: Work from Europe’s leading financial centres and be at the heart of where finance happens.
