Job description

Technical Business Analyst | Global Electronic Trading | London - There aren't many projects in capital markets right now with the scale and profile of this one. Miller Maxwell is working with a leading international electronic trading firm to find a Technical Business Analyst to join the team driving it — sitting right at the point where engineering, product, and the firm's biggest clients meet.

You won't be one BA among many on a routine build. You'll be the person clients and engineers both come to when something needs translating — technical detail into business sense, business need into a spec an engineering team can actually build against. It's a role for someone who wants ownership, visibility, and a project people will still be talking about in a few years.

Duties for the Technical Business Analyst:

• Working directly with clients to unpick what they actually need, not just what they've asked for.
• Sitting with engineering, product, and sales to turn that into requirements that hold up under scrutiny.
• Juggling several fast-moving workstreams at once without losing sight of the bigger delivery goals.
• Explaining gnarly technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders in a way that actually lands.

Background and experience required for the Technical Business Analyst:

• A STEM degree (2:1 or above).
• 5+ years as a Technical Business Analyst in financial services, specifically within electronic trading — front-office, brokerage, exchange, an ISV, a software vendor, or market data.
• Experience within Equities or Fixed Income markets.
• Enough familiarity with Java, Python, or C++ to hold your own in an architecture conversation, even if you're not writing the code.
• Strong stakeholder management, equally comfortable with senior leadership and engineering teams.

Why this one's worth a look:

It's rare to get access to a project of this size this early. You'd be joining a global, forward-thinking team with real investment behind it — one that treats BAs as strategic partners, not ticket-writers — with genuine scope to grow as the programme does.
