With over £160bn in assets under management, we are committed to delivering strong, long-term investment returns to our members.

Your New Role

We are seeking a Lead Technical Business Analyst to join our Investment Platforms team in London. In this key role, you will support the delivery of technology solutions across Investments, Investment Operations, and ICOR (Investment Compliance and Operational Risk) departments. You will be responsible for capturing and analysing business requirements, designing system processes, and working closely with global teams to ensure solutions are fit for purpose.

Your experience in financial services, particularly within Investment Management, will enable you to bridge the gap between business and technology, delivering solutions that drive continuous improvement. While leadership experience is not essential, we are looking for someone with the potential to grow into a leadership role as the organisation expands.



Key Responsibilities

  • Lead technical business analysis efforts for Investment Platforms, ensuring the successful delivery of technology solutions; working on both small BAU projects and larger enhancements, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability.
  • Capture new demand and manage the team's capacity to service this demand.
  • Conduct high-level business analysis, define and document business and process requirements, and recommend improvements.
  • Collaborate with global teams, including those in Australia and New York, to deliver solutions that are globally aligned and operationalised effectively.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with internal stakeholders and external vendors to ensure seamless project delivery.


What You'll Bring

  • Significant and in-depth experience as a Technical Business or Systems Analyst in Financial Services, with a strong preference for Investment Management experience.
  • Knowledge of portfolio management systems (e.g., BlackRock Aladdin, Nasdaq Calypso), execution management systems (e.g., Bloomberg), and investment data management solutions is highly desired.
  • Experience in DevOps, cloud computing concepts (preferably Azure), and data warehousing.
  • Proven ability to deliver projects in an Agile environment, with experience using Atlassian tools (JIRA/Confluence).
  • A strategic thinker with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and the ability to work effectively in a global, matrixed environment.
