  • Systems Enhancement: Support the evolution of OMS/EMS and proprietary platforms, ensuring all updates align with Front Office requirements and regulatory standards.

  • UAT Leadership: Lead the User Acceptance Testing cycle, including test case design and validation of MiFID reporting outputs.

  • Stakeholder Liaison: Act as the primary interface between the Trading floor, Compliance, and Dev teams to resolve issues and maintain strategic alignment.

About You

  • Experience: 3+ years as a Business Analyst in financial services, specifically within Front Office or active trading environments.

  • Equities Expertise: Deep understanding of equities markets and asset class nuances.

  • Regulatory Knowledge: Hands-on experience with MiFID II (specifically RTS 22 transaction reporting and post-trade transparency).

  • Technical Literacy: Proven ability to convert complex regulatory documentation into structured technical requirements.

  • Collaboration: A track record of working effectively with developers, QA, and high-pressure trading desks.
