• Prepare test plans and validate solutions through user acceptance testing (UAT) to ensure final deliverables meet both technical and business expectations.
• Use advanced SQL skills to conduct data analysis, including reviewing stored procedures and Java code to extrapolate business logic and deliver end-to-end process mapping (current, interim, and future states).
• Proactively identify and escalate risks or blockers and take ownership in ambiguous situations to ensure timely delivery.

• 10+ years of experience in a technology role, preferably as a Business Systems Analyst, Product Owner, or Solutions Engineer within financial services.
• Proven experience as a Data Product Owner and/or Technical Business Analyst working with large-scale datasets or data platforms within Fixed Income.
• Experience developing product roadmaps, managing backlogs, and guiding prioritization of data products using Agile methodologies and tools such as Jira and Confluence.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences, and vice versa.
• Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills, combined with sound business judgment.
• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and executive stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams, influence stakeholders, and drive consensus across business and technology groups.
• Strong data evaluation and mapping skills, including interface mapping to databases and integration with internal and external applications.
• Technical proficiency in Python, SQL, Power BI, and data analysis tools.

What will set you apart?

• Bachelor\'s degree in Finance, Economics, Statistics, Computer Science, or related discipline.
