We are hiring a hybrid Technical Business Analyst & Developer/Engineer (Consultant) to support a large-scale RISK technology platform within a financial services environment.

This role sits at the intersection of business, data, and engineering
. You will work directly with investment and risk stakeholders to define requirements, then personally design and deliver the underlying technical solutions - from data mapping and development through production support.

This is not a documentation-only BA role. You are expected to own delivery end-to-end and stay hands-on with data and code.

• Work closely with business users across investment, risk, and operations teams to gather and refine requirements
• Translate business needs into technical specifications, data mappings, and acceptance criteria
• Act as a delivery owner
  , managing scope, priorities, and timelines
• Communicate progress, risks, and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences

• Write and optimize complex SQL for risk calculations, aggregation, reconciliation, and reporting
• Use Python for data analysis, automation, and validation workflows
• Leverage Unix/Linux scripting for operational support, job control, and troubleshooting
• Perform deep data analysis to investigate discrepancies, validate outputs, and trace data lineage
• Contribute to system design decisions and collaborate with engineering teams on enhancements

• Define and implement data flows across upstream and downstream systems (positions, transactions, risk outputs, etc.)
• Build controls, reconciliations, and monitoring to ensure data accuracy
• Troubleshoot production issues by analyzing data, logs, and system behavior
• Support releases, validation cycles, and ongoing platform stability

• Create and maintain documentation including requirements, mappings, and test plans
• Define and execute functional, integration, and UAT testing
• Manage work through JIRA or similar SDLC tools

• 5+ years in a hybrid BA / data engineering / risk technology role
• Proven ability to deliver data-driven systems into production
• Hands-on experience working with investment, portfolio, or risk data

• SQL: Advanced querying, tuning, and large-scale data analysis
• Python: Data processing, automation, and scripting (pandas or similar)
• Unix/Linux: Command line and shell scripting
• Strong understanding of data modeling, lineage, and reconciliation patterns
• Experience with JIRA and modern development workflows (Git/CI-CD is a plus)
• Strong Excel skills for analysis and validation

• Understanding of asset management workflows (portfolios, holdings, transactions, pricing)
• Familiarity with risk concepts (exposure, sensitivities, aggregation, reporting)
• Experience with risk data platforms or pipelines is highly desirable

• Able to move seamlessly between business conversations and hands-on technical work
• Strong problem-solver who can diagnose data and system issues independently
• Clear communicator who can explain complex topics simply
• Detail-oriented with a focus on data quality, controls, and reliability

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (or equivalent experience)
• Advanced degrees or certifications (CFA, FRM, etc.) are a plus
