We are seeking a Senior Business Systems Analyst to support the Capital Markets Technology team, partnering closely with Fixed Income, Special Situations, and Public Equity investment professionals to shape the research and analytics platforms that guide front-office decision-making.

In this role, you will lead the analysis, design, and delivery of technology solutions that support investment research workflows. You will engage with stakeholders across investment, operations, and risk functions to understand their needs, translate complex business requirements into actionable technical specifications, and guide the full lifecycle of enhancementsfrom initial concept through testing and implementation. A central part of your work will involve improving research processes, optimizing the flow of financial and credit data, and advancing the systems used to produce reporting and insights for front-office teams.

You will also serve as a key liaison between internal technology teams and external vendors, ensuring that platforms supporting research and credit analytics meet enterprise standards, integrate effectively with broader systems, and evolve in step with business priorities.
