Business Analyst Opportunity for Large Investment Bank - Midtown-Manhattan
Job Description
Our client, a large multi-national investment bank, is seeking a consultant for an initial 6-month contract.
- At least 5 years experience, of which 2 years would have been working with Fidessa
- Strong understanding of both the business/markets and technology
- Previous experience with testing is required
- Previous experience working on global equities trading systems is not required, but preferred
- Strong communication (interpersonal & documentation), organizational and problem solving skills.
The business/markets understanding is key as the analyst will be required to document requirements originating from the business (traders/management), operations, compliance, product control, risk as well as the various IT groups (post trade, finance, etc.). The analyst will also be required to investigate and document various IT solutions to meet the user requirements, identifying which option will work best based on the user requirement, priority and available resources. To propose an IT solution will obviously require a strong understanding of the systems used, which will be Fidessa the majority of the time. The role is hands-on, with the analyst often testing their own solutions first before passing along to the testing team. Testing responsibilities include review of SIT cases, writing and executing UAT with the user groups requesting the changes and tracking defects & following through with the necessary IT (development) staff to resolve these defects. Due to the nature of the company & trading platforms, there is a need to work with colleagues globally in Europe & Asia.
