You will be working as the sole Business Analyst/Product Manager alongside an engineering team of 6 that is responsible for the ingestion of data into the Fixed Income technology department and then also out again to other internal areas and external 3rd parties. Currently, the responsibilities of this role are fulfilled by the manager and some of the lead engineers. You will be hired to carry out analysis of the team's function- the sources and destinations of data- and then the generation of a road map and target state for the area.

You will need to come from Front Office trading with Fixed Income knowledge. Buy-side experience is very desirable but not essential. Further, some Python Scripting ability would be very advantageous.

The official title for the role will be Business Analyst but the company is very Agile and this will be more of a product owner/manager role. You will be asked to foresee future challenges and requests with the data and integrate solutions into your roadmaps so that they're resolved before they become pressing and urgent.
