Posted Yesterday job requisition  we do exists to find alpha, investment value the market has overlooked. We believe technology is a genuine source of that edge and core to how we find and act on conviction. Because of this, we are modernising our core platform, investing seriously in our data, and building AI solutions that help us achieve alpha for our clients.

Data is the thread that connects all of it. Structured, governed and well-understood data is what turns our investment philosophy into decisions, and what makes our platform and AI ambitions possible. We are aligning the platform, data and AI to work as one.

As a Data Business Analyst, you sit at that point. You will work across the Investment, Operations and Client pillars with the data owners who hold the firm's data, framing the right problems and translating them into clear, well-scoped requirements engineers can build against. You will own discovery and scoping across a portfolio of initiatives - establishing what data quality means in each domain, clarifying where domain boundaries and ownership sit, and shaping the business input into architectural change as the platform evolves.

The work is influential by design: the problems you frame shape the direction data takes at Orbis, and how we use it to generate client alpha.

We are home to world-class talent, and we're looking for more of it to help define what our investment edge looks like next.
