You will play a key role in transforming the Rates and Credit Fixed Income technology landscape.

Working closely with traders, quants, product owners and engineers, you'll connect deep domain knowledge with practical technical understanding. You'll challenge existing processes, define target workflows and turn complex requirements into clear, prioritised increments. This is a hands-on role combining analysis, stakeholder management and Agile delivery, with opportunities to apply AI-assisted tools to improve the quality and pace of your work.

What we’ll offer you

A healthy, engaged and well-supported workforce are better equipped to do their best work and, more importantly, enjoy their lives inside and outside the workplace. That’s why we are committed to providing an environment with your development and wellbeing at its centre.

You can expect:  

• Hybrid Working - we understand that employee expectations and preferences are changing. We have implemented a model that enables eligible employees to work remotely for a part of their working time and reach a working pattern that works for them

Your key responsibilities

• Lead analysis of Rates and Credit pricing, quoting and analytics workflows, identifying opportunities to simplify processes and deliver measurable business value

• Build strong relationships across trading, quantitative analytics, technology and control functions, facilitating workshops, resolving competing priorities and securing agreement on scope and outcomes

• Map current and target workflows, data flows and business rules, defining clear user stories and acceptance criteria, including exception scenarios and non-functional requirements

• Partner with product owners and engineers to refine and prioritise the backlog, break complex changes into valuable increments and manage dependencies through Agile and Kanban practices

• Use data analysis and technical investigation to validate requirements and resolve ambiguity; work with QA and traders to define business acceptance scenarios, coordinate UAT and incorporate feedback

• Apply AI-assisted tools to research, requirements analysis and documentation, critically validating outputs and protecting sensitive information; support adoption and assess whether delivered capabilities achieve their intended

Your skills and experience

• Rates and Credit expertise: substantial front-office business analysis experience across both Rates and Credit, with a strong understanding of fixed income instruments, bond pricing, yield and spread measures, market data and risk sensitivities, and how traders use them in pricing and quoting decisions
• Stakeholder management: proven ability to build credibility with traders, quants and engineers, influence senior stakeholders, challenge constructively and reconcile competing needs. You communicate complex subjects clearly and drive decisions through to resolution
• Technical and analytical fluency: confidence using SQL to investigate data and working with APIs, event-driven services and data models. You can trace information across systems, discuss integration and performance requirements with engineers, and translate between business and technical perspectives
• Agile delivery and transformation: experience modernising complex trading platforms through iterative delivery. You write actionable stories and testable acceptance criteria, manage backlogs and dependencies, and use Kanban practices such as work-in-progress limits and flow metrics to improve delivery
• AI-assisted analysis and ownership: practical experience using generative AI or agentic tools to accelerate analysis, synthesis and documentation, with sound judgement about accuracy, confidentiality and limitations. You take ownership from problem discovery through acceptance and adoption, promoting effective analysis practices across the team.
• Proven ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, optimise workflows to solve business problems, while applying critical judgment to ensure responsible and ethical use of data and AI outputs
