Our client is an exciting and rapidly growing investment technology company whose cloud-based platform is transforming the way some of the world's leading financial institutions manage their investment data and operations. Following continued growth, they are looking for a talented Senior Business Analyst to join their highly skilled team.
They are seeking a Senior Business Analyst with strong Investment Management and Investment Operations knowledge who genuinely understands the Investment Lifecycle and how investment products and data flow from front to back office.

You should be comfortable discussing complex Investment Management processes with senior stakeholders and have a strong understanding of IBOR, financial products and the Investment Lifecycle. Any experience with SQL, Python, APIs or data integration would be advantageous.
The successful Senior Business Analyst will combine excellent communication and client-facing skills with deep Investment Management and Investment Operations knowledge.
