? About the Project

Our client is migrating from a legacy market data infrastructure to a modern, federated Data & Analytics (DnA) platform. The programme involves:

• Multiple federated technical teams (data mesh / domain-driven model) delivering data products in parallel
  


• Heavy reconciliation and sign-off of risk and market data products with business and risk stakeholders

? Your Responsibilities

As the Senior Technical Business Analyst, you will be the bridge between business / risk stakeholders and the federated technical teams, with focus on:

• Reconciliation & sign-off – drive reconciliation topics (legacy vs target market data products, risk data products vs current sources) through to formal business and risk sign-off
  


• Requirements engineering – gather, clarify, and document requirements from business and risk users; translate them into actionable specifications for the technical teams
  


• Translation layer – act as the bridge between business/risk stakeholders and the federated development teams (data engineers, platform engineers, architects)
  


• Issue resolution – support business users on data issues and unblock the technical teams on open business or risk questions
  


• Technical follow-up – support the PM with technical follow-ups, open item tracking, and stakeholder clarifications
  


• Work independently on end-to-end ownership of reconciliation and sign-off topics
  

? Must-Have Profile

• Strong Business Analyst background with solid technical understanding (data platforms, ingestion pipelines, APIs, data modelling)
  


• Proven experience in market data, risk, or trading environments
  


• Confident engaging both business / risk users and development teams — comfortable on both sides of the table
  


• Track record of independent ownership of requirements engineering and reconciliation / sign-off topics
  


• Comfortable with federated delivery models (data mesh, domain-driven, agile-at-scale)
  


• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
  


• Fluent English (mandatory)
  


• German language skills (B2+ / fluent) – strongly preferred for stakeholder interactions
  

? Strong Plus / Differentiators

• Hands-on exposure to ETRM/CTRM systems (Mesap, Endur, Allegro, RightAngle, OpenLink, Aligne)

• Familiarity with risk concepts: VaR, P&L attribution, position keeping, curves, forward pricing, regulatory reporting (REMIT, EMIR, MiFID II, FRTB)
  


• Technical fluency: SQL, REST APIs, JSON, Python (read-level), data modelling, Databricks, Snowflake, Azure Data Platform, Kafka, Airflow
