Are you naturally analytical, enjoy solving problems and have a genuine interest in how technology can improve the way businesses operate?

We’re working with an established and growing technology business looking to bring a Business Analyst into its team. The company develops specialist software used within the investment and wealth management sector, helping financial organisations manage complex processes and make informed investment decisions.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to develop their career within a specialist area of financial technology, working alongside experienced professionals and engaging with major clients.

The Opportunity

You’ll sit at the intersection of business and technology, helping clients get the most out of software solutions while ensuring their needs are clearly understood and translated into practical outcomes.

Your role will involve working with a variety of stakeholders, understanding how their businesses operate, identifying opportunities for improvement and collaborating with internal technical teams to deliver effective solutions.

You’ll also gain exposure to the software delivery lifecycle, from initial discussions and requirements gathering through to implementation, testing and ongoing client support.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Working with clients and internal stakeholders to understand business needs and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Organising discussions and workshops to gather information and establish project requirements.
• Translating business needs into clear documentation, process flows and functional specifications.

• Working closely with development and product teams to ensure solutions meet agreed requirements.
• Assisting with software testing, investigating issues and identifying potential improvements.
• Helping clients understand new features and making sure they get the best possible experience from the platform.
• Maintaining clear documentation and keeping stakeholders informed throughout projects.

What We’re Looking For

We’re particularly interested in someone with the right attitude, mindset and potential. You don’t need to have extensive experience in investment management, as training will be provided.

You could be a recent graduate or someone at an early stage of their career looking to take the next step.

Ideally, You’ll Bring

• A strong academic background, ideally in Business, Finance, Economics, Technology or a related subject.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• A natural curiosity and willingness to learn new concepts.
• Great attention to detail and an organised approach to work.
• Confidence communicating with different stakeholders and building relationships.
• The ability to understand complex information and explain it clearly.

• Salary of up to £45,000.
• Permanent position within a growing technology business.
• Structured on-the-job training and development.
• Exposure to major clients within the investment management industry.
