Overview:
The client is looking for two business analysts to build the foundations of the solutions supporting its derivatives and fixed income desks, along with the related regulatory and operational requirements. The role sits at the junction of the front office and IT: the person analyzes needs, documents the full trade lifecycle and presents business deliverables to a wide range of stakeholders, from trading to compliance. Domain expertise is the distinguishing criterion, with 5 years of business analysis in capital markets and direct collaboration with the front office, quantitative developers and pricing models. The mandate also covers the feasibility and design phases, including the requirements register and RFI and RFP calls, meaning upstream work ahead of execution. Finally, the sought profile stresses posture: systematic meeting preparation, steering discussions toward decisions and clear visibility for executive stakeholders.
Target candidate: a business analyst specialized in capital markets who has delivered projects involving derivatives and fixed income, from the trading desk through settlement and accounting, and who translates pricing model logic into requirements IT can act on. The target person can hold a meeting with a trader, a quantitative developer or a compliance officer, rather than learning the domain during the mandate.
Requirements Required:
Business analysis in solution delivery projects, capital markets sector
Business topics of the derivatives desk and the fixed income desk
Direct collaboration with the front office, quantitative developers and pricing models
End-to-end business solution management: trading platforms, position management, valuation, settlement, accounting, risk
Understanding of IT and relationship with the agile team
Excellent communication and presentation skills
Preferred:
Communication with executive stakeholders, visibility on issues, decisions and progress
Systematic preparation of a game plan and structured agenda for each meeting
Steering business discussions toward concrete decisions
Technology leadership, technical and functional aptitudes
Soft skills: autonomy and teamwork, attention to detail and critical thinking, problem solving, intellectual abilities, working under pressure, strong learning ability
