The role of a Business Analyst consists of specifying business requirements and their solution, from a functional rather than technical perspective.

Business Analysts work with new and existing clients, as well as new product initiatives. This requires the analyst to have extensive and in-depth knowledge of all aspects of electronic trading: e.g., interfaces, order origination, order routing, market access, smart routing, position keeping, trade reporting, regulatory compliance, trade confirmation and allocation, back-office processing, etc. Strong knowledge and experience with equities is required.

In order to determine how Fidessa may meet client needs, Business Analysts must also have detailed knowledge of how Fidessa products work (this is not a requirement for applicants, but the successful applicant will have an ability to learn the Fidessa trading product quickly).

At Fidessa, the position of a Business Analyst goes well beyond the traditional role of producing technical specifications – rather, we seek to understand the client’s business objectives and to be a consulting partner in crafting business solutions using the Fidessa product suite. The analyst must also be comfortable meeting with head traders, senior managers, and technical personnel. The analyst will work as a member of a small team. The successful applicant will exhibit superior ability with respect to: intelligence, analytical thought (ability to analyze and logically organize information), communication skills (both written and oral), self motivation, inquisitiveness, and attention to detail.
