Front Office Business Analyst

We have partnered with a highly successful alternative investment manager on a very exciting hybrid position where you will be given the opportunity to capitalise on both your commercial acumen and stakeholder management skills alongside your technical background & expertise.

Sitting in their London office, you will be bridging the gap between the traders and the data engineering team to support the scaling data infrastructure of the firm. It will be pivotal that you've worked in a similar position with regards to supporting the Front Office and working closely with PMs/Traders.

Key responsibilities:

• Operate across the full data life cycle - from requirement gathering through delivery
• Acting as a conduit, translating technical information to non-technical stakeholders
• Gather and clarify business requests into actionable deliverables, partnering closely with the data engineering team to support implementation and delivery
• Working closely with PMs/Traders on a day to day basis - supporting them, speaking their language and understanding their needs
• Utilise market data and alternative datasets across multiple asset classes to translate complex trading strategies into scalable data engineering requirements, ensuring seamless delivery to the front office

Your background:

• 10+ years experience in a similar role
• Demonstrated experience in stakeholder management with front office - comfortable supporting and interacting with PMs/Traders on a daily basis
• Strong ability to translate technical information to non-technical stakeholders
• Deep understanding of schemas, data modelling principles, query optimisation - working understanding of SQL & Python will be important
• Extensive experience working with market data/alternative datasets across multiple asset classes (ideally with vendors like Bloomberg or Refinitiv/LSEG), experience working across structured & unstructured datasets
• Experience with equities & fixed-income asset classes (buy or sell-side)

This is a hybrid role, where you will need to utilise your technical background in order to sit with traders, understand their priorities, and feed this back to our data engineers. It will be hugely important that you are comfortable communicating with the Front Office, being able to speak their language and translate technical information in a way that is digestible to them.

This is a very unique opportunity to sit in a high-impact role in a hugely successful business.
