Technical Business Analyst

Project description

We're looking for a Business Analyst who's equally comfortable wearing a light Project Manager hat.

You'll translate business needs into clear requirements, keep the Book of Work current in Azure DevOps (epics/features/stories), run day-to-day delivery rituals, and consolidate status across multiple initiatives into crisp, executive-ready updates.

You'll bring strong financial-data domain understanding and enough technical literacy to partner with data engineers—without needing to be the one writing complex code.

Elicit, document, and prioritize requirements with stakeholders across Front, Middle/Back Office, and Technology.

Convert conceptual ideas or Excel prototypes into clear user stories with acceptance criteria and process/data flow diagrams.

Validate solutions through test scenarios and UAT coordination; ensure traceability from requirements to outcomes.

Own the Azure DevOps hygiene: structure epics/features/stories, maintain the roadmap and Book of Work, and ensure status is up to date.

Facilitate delivery ceremonies (stand-ups, sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives); unblock teams and drive decisions.

Manage dependencies, and escalate risks/issues with options and impacts and provide estimates of resource capacity

Prepare weekly and adhoc status reports across initiatives—clear milestones, progress, risks, and next steps.

Align cross-team deliverables (data providers, platforms, consuming applications) to timelines and success criteria.

Keep process maps, data dictionaries, and operating procedures current.

Promote best practices in change control, versioning, and requirement traceability.

Must have

Education: Bachelors degree or higher in IT or Finance or a related field.

Experience: Minimum 5 years in Business Analysis similar roles

SQL skills

Familiarity with ETL tools, processes, and data warehousing platforms, particularly Databricks.

Familiarity in PySpark (good to have)

Good understanding of data modelling, including dimensional modelling, normalization, and schema design.

Agile Methodologies: Comfortable with Agile practices, including sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives.

Collaboration Tools: Skilled in using Azure DevOps for team collaboration and project management.

Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have
