A leading Capital Markets business is seeking a hands-on Business Analyst to support its Front Office regulatory controls function. This is a high-visibility, fast-paced role working directly with a senior stakeholder. The team is intentionally lean, so you will be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, prioritise effectively under pressure, and deliver with minimal oversight.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner closely with Front Office, COO, Risk, Compliance, and Technology teams

• Analyse and support the resolution of Front Office issues, including control breaches, trader incidents, electronic trading queries, and limit management

• Conduct process reviews and gap analyses to identify opportunities for control improvements

• Work directly with a senior subject matter expert to define problems and propose solutions, taking ownership of delivery

• Produce clear, structured analysis, documentation, and reporting to drive issues through to resolution

What We're Looking For Essential:

• Proven Business Analyst experience within a Front Office (sales & trading) environment

• Direct exposure to regulatory or control-related issues such as control breaches, trader incidents, electronic trading, and/or limits management

• Comfortable operating as the sole BA aligned to a desk, without a wider team for support

• Strong self-management and prioritisation skills

• Ability to quickly grasp complex regulatory topics

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence engaging senior stakeholder

• Experience within a Tier 1 or Tier 2 investment bank

• Familiarity with capital markets regulatory frameworks (eg MiFID II, electronic trading controls, market risk limits)
