Overview

The Equities Trading Technology team is seeking a seasoned Business Analyst / Project Manager (BAPM) who thrives in a data-intensive environment. In this delivery-focused role, the successful candidate will take ownership of business analysis, project management, and product management initiatives across our front-office trading platform, with a particular emphasis on real-time pre-trade controls ingrained within the order management system.

Our Trading Services platform processes over 35 billion order and execution messages each year—a volume that demands not only technical competence but also a keen analytical mindset. The ideal candidate will demonstrate the ability to navigate, analyze, and distill actionable insights from large, complex datasets, turning data into strategic decisions. Deep engagement with trading data, systems architecture, and cross-functional stakeholders is essential to ensure robust, scalable solutions in this high-performance environment.

In addition to strong analytical and technical skills, this role requires the discipline and organizational acumen of a traditional project manager—capable of overseeing and delivering multiple projects simultaneously, often with competing priorities and tight deadlines. The candidate must be adept at structuring workflows, maintaining rigorous documentation, and applying best practices in project governance to keep initiatives on track.

Equally important is a true product management mindset. The successful Business Analyst / Project Manager will need to define and drive the product’s roadmap, collaborating closely with stakeholders and senior management to align vision, strategy, and execution. They must be comfortable representing the book of work, gathering and prioritizing requirements, and ensuring that development efforts are focused on delivering maximum value to the business.

This role demands an elevated level of intellectual curiosity, coupled with a proactive desire to understand how processes and systems operate beyond the immediate area of responsibility. Deep engagement with trading data, systems architecture, and cross-functional stakeholders will be critical to success.

If you are a driven and meticulous professional with a passion for problem-solving and delivering impactful solutions in a fast-paced environment, we encourage you to apply.
