Responsibilities

Position

Purpose:

StoneX is embarking on a significant, multi-year transformation of its institutional securities business. The program will build a shared enterprise platform that brings together how institutional order flow is received, processed and settled across markets, regions and legal entities, replacing fragmented and duplicated processing with common services that can be reused as the business grows. It is a foundational piece of work that will shape our institutional operating model for years to come, and it is being delivered in stages so that value reaches the business early and often.

We are looking for a technically minded Senior Business Analyst to support the Head of Product for Institutional Securities, who owns the vision and direction for the program. You will be their right hand in turning that vision into well-defined, deliverable capability, owning the analysis that connects front office, operations and technology across the order, trade, settlement and funding life cycles, and working closely with product, architecture, engineering and operations to get it built.

This is a high-visibility global role on a greenfield program, with genuine breadth, exposure to senior stakeholders, and real room to grow and to shape how StoneX delivers institutional securities capability.

Primary Accountabilities/Responsibilities

Own the analysis behind enterprise order orchestration – defining how institutional orders are received, normalized, identified, validated, enriched, routed to downstream order management systems, and reported back with real-time status.
Lead requirements definition for the first institutional products delivered on the platform, including electronic order acceptance and routing, settlement visibility, broker give-up and take-up, FX and multi-currency handling, and cross-border trading and settlement.
Map current versus target state across the order, trade, settlement and funding life cycles, identifying where duplicated or manual processing can be replaced by shared platform services and standardized flows.
Become the in-house subject-matter expert on the platform’s capabilities and how they map to real business processes across desks, regions and legal entities.
Translate business and technical needs into clear user stories, functional specifications, message and field mappings, data dictionaries and acceptance criteria, working in close partnership with product, architecture, engineering and operations.
Support platform and vendor evaluation where build-versus-buy decisions arise – capturing functional and non-functional requirements, defining evaluation criteria, and contributing to an evidence‑based recommendation.
Partner with operations, clearing, settlement, treasury and control functions to define exception handling, reconciliation, controls and reporting requirements so that new capability is operationally sound from day one.
Contribute to business cases and scope definition, presenting complex platform and integration concepts…
