Business Analyst – Front Office Asset Management Platforms

Permanent · Remote-first

The Opportunity

Front Office transformation programmes sit at the heart of modern Asset Management firms. Whether it's portfolio management platforms, order management systems, trading workflows, market data solutions, or investment operations, these initiatives demand Business Analysts who can bridge the gap between investment teams and technology delivery.

We're looking for a Business Analyst who understands how investment businesses operate, can navigate stakeholder complexity, and has experience delivering change across critical front office platforms.

If you've worked alongside Portfolio Managers, Traders, Investment Operations teams, and technology specialists to deliver meaningful transformation, we'd like to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

Working across complex transformation programmes, you'll provide the analysis, structure, and stakeholder engagement that keeps delivery aligned to business outcomes. Day to day, that means:

• Gathering, analysing, and documenting business requirements across front office investment functions

• Supporting the implementation, enhancement, or integration of Front Office platforms including OMS, EMS, portfolio management, and market data solutions
• Translating business requirements into clear, actionable deliverables for technical teams and vendors
• Leading workshops, process mapping sessions, and stakeholder forums across multiple business functions
• Managing requirements, dependencies, risks, and traceability throughout the project lifecycle
• Supporting testing, business readiness, and implementation activities to ensure solutions meet operational and regulatory requirements
• Producing high-quality business analysis artefacts including requirements documents, process maps, user stories, and impact assessments
