Job description

SUMMARY

The Technical Business Analyst will play a critical role in the delivery of complex technology implementation initiatives across the firm. The role requires a high-calibre generalist who combines strong analytical capability with hands‑on experience of technology platforms, data, and systems integration.

The successful candidate will work closely with business stakeholders and technology teams to translate business needs into clear, actionable requirements, support solution design, and ensure high‑quality delivery outcomes. Experience within financial services and delivering in a regulated environment is essential, with exposure to private markets (private equity, private credit, secondaries, real assets, funds) considered a strong advantage but not essential.

What you’ll do

• Business Analysis & Requirements Lead end‑to‑end business analysis activities across technology implementation projects. Elicit, analyse, document and validate business, functional and non‑functional requirements. Translate business requirements into clear user stories, acceptance criteria and specifications suitable for technical delivery teams. Ensure requirements are traceable through design, build, testing and deployment.
• Technology & Solution Design Support Work closely with architects, engineers and vendors to support solution and integration design. Contribute to the definition of system interfaces, data flows and integration patterns. Support vendor and platform implementations, including configuration‑led solutions. Act as a bridge between business stakeholders and technical teams, ensuring shared understanding.
• Process & Operating Model Analysis Map and analyse current‑state and target‑state business processes across front‑to‑back operating models. Identify inefficiencies, control gaps and opportunities for automation or simplification. Support the design of future‑state processes aligned to technology solutions and strategic objectives.
• Data Analysis Analyse data structures, data flows and reporting requirements across systems. Support data migration, data quality assessments and reconciliation activities. Work with data and technology teams to define data requirements and logic.
• Delivery & Ways of Working Operate effectively within Agile delivery frameworks (Scrum, Kanban or hybrid). Manage and maintain backlogs, user stories and epics using Jira. Support sprint planning, refinement, reviews and retrospectives. Partner with Product Owners and Delivery Leads to ensure priorities are clear and achievable.
• Stakeholder Management Engage confidently with senior stakeholders across Technology, Operations, Risk and Compliance. Facilitate workshops, working sessions and design discussions. Provide clear, structured communication on requirements, issues and dependencies.
• Required Experience & Skills Proven experience as a Business Analyst or Technical Business Analyst delivering technology implementation projects. Strong background in financial services within regulated environments. Demonstrable experience supporting enterprise technology or core platform implementations. Strong capabilities in process mapping and analysis, requirements definition and documentation, integration and interface design support, data analysis and data‑driven problem solving. Hands‑on experience working in Agile delivery environments. Strong Jira experience, including backlog management and user story definition. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly.

Your Expertise

• Experience within private markets (private equity, private credit, secondaries, fund management).
• Experience working with third‑party vendors and system integrators.
