Client introduction Our client is an established financial services firm with a regional footprint and a strong focus on trading, brokerage and post-trade operations. They are expanding their Applications team and are looking for their first dedicated IT Business Analyst (Trading & Settlements) to support new technology initiatives across their trading and settlement platforms. This is not a pure documentation role. The successful candidate will partner with business users, in-house developers, external vendors and project teams to turn operational needs into clear system requirements and delivered technology changes. It would suit someone who understands how a trade moves from front office through to settlement, and who can bridge business process, system design and hands-on testing. What you will do:

Act as the link between business stakeholders, technology teams and vendors on trading, post-trade and settlement projects
Understand business needs across the trade lifecycle - confirmation, affirmation, settlement, exception handling and reconciliation - and translate them into clear functional and technical specifications developers can build from
Map current and future-state processes, including system flows, data movement and operational touchpoints
Support new initiatives and enhancements to existing trading, back-office and settlement platforms
Prepare user stories, acceptance criteria and test scenarios, and validate changes through UAT before go-live
Work with operations and business users to close requirement gaps and ensure delivered solutions hold up in day-to-day use
Support implementation, including user coordination, defect clarification and post-go-live follow-up
Identify where workflows, systems or controls can be made more efficient

What you should have:

At least 6 years of experience as a Business Analyst, IT Business Analyst, Systems Analyst or Implementation Analyst within financial services
A solid grasp of the trade lifecycle, from execution through confirmation, affirmation and settlement, with the ability to trace a settlement issue back to its source
Real depth in at least one of foreign exchange, futures or securities; exposure to more than one is an advantage
Strong post-trade and settlement knowledge - clearing, settlement, failed trades, exceptions or reconciliation
Able to write specifications that developers can work from directly
Hands-on enough to write and run test scenarios; this is a BA who validates their own work, not a dedicated QA or test manager role
Comfortable working with both in-house development teams and external vendors
Exposure to a back-office or settlement platform is advantageous; what matters most is understanding how settlement flows work, not any one specific system
SQL, data analysis or API and data-flow understanding is useful, though deep programming experience is not required
Practical, adaptable, and comfortable working independently in a lean team

Why you should join them

Come in as the first dedicated IT Business Analyst in the Applications team, with real visibility and room to shape how the function works
Spend your time on new projects and system enhancements rather than steady-state maintenance
Gain broad exposure across trading, settlement and post-trade technology, spanning multiple asset classes and markets rather than one narrow system
Sit close to both business operations and technology delivery, ideal for someone who wants to own the full trade lifecycle from idea through to implementation
Report directly to the Head of Applications, with close involvement across business and project stakeholders
