IT Business Analyst - Energy Trading - London

We are looking for a highly organised, delivery-focused Front Office IT Business Analyst to play a pivotal role in driving a consistent, high-quality continuous delivery cadence within our pre-trade technology domain.

In this hands-on position, you will serve as a central coordination point between trading desks, quant researchers, analysts, and engineering teams. You will manage multiple product backlogs, translate fast-moving commercial priorities into clear delivery plans, and ensure predictable, high-quality execution across several product groups.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who thrives in high-paced environments and enjoys enabling fast feedback loops, efficient flow, and commercially impactful outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and maintain several JIRA backlogs across pre-trade initiatives.

• Prioritise, sequence, and clarify demand based on business needs and resource availability.

• Ensure alignment, transparency, and predictable delivery across multiple product teams.

• Define and run sprint planning cycles, coordinating delivery sequencing.

• Protect a continuous delivery rhythm with short cycles and frequent releases.

• Proactively remove impediments and maintain smooth, efficient workflow.

• Work closely with traders, analysts, quant researchers, and engineering teams.

• Gather requirements, communicate progress, and provide clarity on decisions, risks, and priorities.

• Contribute to strategic product and data roadmaps in areas like data ingestion, storage, and distribution.

• Champion improvements in workflow, tooling, backlog hygiene, and agile practices.

• Track and improve key flow metrics (lead time, cycle time, deployment frequency, throughput).

The successful candidate will demonstrate

• Strong experience in delivery management, agile delivery, or backlog ownership, ideally in a data-centric or trading-related environment.

• Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent backlogs and coordinate delivery across diverse teams.

• Experience working directly with Front Office stakeholders such as traders, analysts, and quantitative researchers.

• Understanding of continuous delivery and flow-based principles in high-performing engineering environments.

This role will suit someone that is currently working within a trading environment, ideal commodities or energy trading specifically.
