Behind it all is a team of ambitious VFXers who think like founders, never stop learning, and go the extra mile to help our clients succeed.

About the Role

As a Business Analyst within the Product Team, you will act as a critical conduit between business stakeholders (internal and external), SMEs, and our engineering & product delivery functions. Your work will underpin the design, specification, and delivery of new product capabilities - from requirements elicitation through to functional specification, stakeholder alignment, and support for development and testing.

This is a growth-oriented role for a candidate with around 1–2 years’ experience, eager to deepen their understanding of financial services tech and contribute meaningfully to a fast-growing global fintech.

Key Responsibilities

• Engage with SMEs, commercial leads, operations, compliance and other stakeholders to gather detailed business requirements (functional & non-functional).
• Document requirements clearly: business requirements documents (BRDs), user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows / models, data flows or functional specs.
• Translate business needs into actionable specifications for the engineering and product teams. This includes liaising between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Assist in shaping product decisions and prioritisation by helping define scope, clarifying constraints, highlighting dependencies, and assessing trade-offs.
• Support the product lifecycle: from requirements gathering, through design and QA/acceptance, to rollout and post-launch validation. This may include helping coordinate testing / user acceptance testing, tracking issues/defects, and ensuring delivered functionality meets requirements.
• Help maintain and evolve internal documentation of business processes, system workflows, integration points, and product behaviour.
• Work collaboratively across cross-functional teams including Product Owners, Engineering, Compliance, Operations, and (where relevant) Banking Partners or external vendors - facilitating smooth communication and shared understanding.
• Proactively identify potential inefficiencies, ambiguities or gaps in requirements, and propose refined or improved process / product solutions.

Candidate Profile

• Communicates clearly and confidently across technical and non-technical audiences, including senior stakeholders.
• Detail-oriented with strong analytical ability and a structured approach to gathering and validating requirements.
• Proactive, self-motivated and comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
• Thrives in agile or hybrid product development settings and collaborates effectively with Product Owners and Engineers.
• Builds strong relationships across business, operations, compliance, product and technical functions.
• Demonstrates curiosity, growth mindset and a long-term interest in developing a career in product/fintech.
• Brings strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative, team-oriented mindset.

Preferred Background

• Bachelor’s degree (2:1 or above) or equivalent experience in a relevant field (Business, Economics, Finance, Information Systems etc.)
• 1+ year of experience in business analysis, consulting or similar roles (e.g., systems analyst, consulting analyst, junior BA).
• Experience within financial services, fintech or other regulated/structured environments is preferred.
• Familiarity with agile frameworks and tools such as Jira, Confluence or similar.
• Exposure to requirement gathering, process mapping and stakeholder engagement.
• Nice to have: Basic understanding of financial products, payments, multi-currency accounts or fintech business flows.

What success looks like

• Clear, concise and complete documentation of business requirements that enable efficient and accurate delivery by engineering teams.
• Smooth hand-off between business stakeholders and product/engineering - resulting in minimal rework or ambiguity after development begins.
• Enhanced collaboration across teams and effective stakeholder engagement.
• Proactive identification and mitigation of issues early in the lifecycle (requirements ambiguity, scope drift, conflicts).
• Continuous learning and growth: increasing contribution to more complex/strategic product work.

Benefits at VFX

• Generous Profit Share Plan (PSP)
• Equity via the Company Share Option Plan (CSOP)

PSP & CSOP Details

At VFX, the biggest benefit is the opportunity to act like an owner. Through our Profit Share Scheme (PSP) and Company Share Option Plan (CSOP), every team member has a chance to own a stake in the business and share in the profits.

To show you what that looks like, in 2024, PSP participants received over $1,000,000 USD. From those distributions, more than 80% of eligible VFXers chose to become shareholders — a powerful reflection of the belief and commitment that drives VFX forward.
