Technology Business Analyst

Role Summary

We are seeking a Technology Business Analyst to support finance transformation initiatives. This role will bridge business stakeholders and technical teams by gathering requirements, analyzing data, documenting workflows, supporting integrations, and helping deliver reporting, automation, and system enhancement projects. This role serves primarily as a Business Analyst, with the ideal candidate combining strong business analysis skills with hands-on technical ability (SQL/Python) to independently investigate issues, deliver small fixes/enhancements, and perform data analysis — reducing dependency on developers for routine tasks.

Key Responsibilities

Business Analysis & Requirements

Partner with finance, treasury, and operations stakeholders to understand current-state processes and pain points across trading, margin, funding, and subledger accounting workflows

Gather, document, and prioritize business and functional requirements for finance/treasury systems

Convey business requirements and context to technical teams to ensure alignment

Document workflows and business processes to support ongoing system enhancements

Integration & Systems Support

Support integrations between front-office, treasury, and accounting subledger systems

Assist in defining and validating data flows and interface specifications between systems

Coordinate with technical teams on integration testing and issue resolution

Data Analysis & Technical Support

Write and optimize SQL queries to investigate data issues, validate reconciliations, and support root-cause analysis across trade, margin, and subledger data

Use Python for data manipulation, automation of repetitive tasks, and building lightweight analysis/reporting scripts

Perform data profiling and quality checks across finance data sets (GL, subledger, trade/position data, margin calls)

Deliver small fixes, configuration changes, and enhancements independently, reducing turnaround time on minor defects

Support data mapping and reconciliation between front-office/treasury systems and the accounting subledger

Support the design and delivery of reporting and automation solutions for finance and treasury stakeholders

Testing & Quality

Design and execute test cases/scripts for UAT

Validate reports, interfaces, and reconciliations post-enhancement or post go-live

Troubleshoot data discrepancies using SQL before escalating to development teams

Required Skills & Qualifications

3–6+ years of experience as a Business Analyst in Finance Transformation, Treasury Technology, or Financial Systems projects

Strong understanding of core finance/treasury processes (trade capture, margin management, funding, subledger accounting, reconciliations, reporting)

SQL: Ability to write intermediate-to-advanced queries (joins, aggregations) to investigate and validate data independently

Python: Working knowledge for data analysis (pandas), scripting small automations, and supporting enhancement/fix development

Experience with at least one of the following platforms: Bloomberg TOMS/MARS (trade order management/multi-asset risk system), Workday (financials/HCM), OptiFunder (warehouse funding optimization), Acadia Margin Manager (collateral/margin management), FIS (treasury/financial systems suite), Accounting Subledger platforms (TPG, SBO, or similar)

Familiarity with Jira/Confluence and Agile delivery methods

Strong stakeholder communication skills — able to translate between business, treasury/trading, and technical teams

Prior experience in banking, asset management, mortgage finance, treasury operations, or capital markets operations

Bachelor’s degree in finance, Accounting, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field

Nice to Have

Exposure to data migration/ETL concepts between trading systems and accounting subledgers, including understanding of APIs, batch jobs, data feeds, reconciliations, and financial reporting processes

Basic understanding of financial controls, margin/collateral processes, and audit requirements
