Sydney | 6-Month Contract | Hybrid (3 days onsite)

We’re partnering with a leading international financial services organisation undertaking a significant enterprise application transition and rationalisation program across multiple APAC regions.

This is not a traditional transformation BA role focused on customer-facing digital products. Instead, you’ll work at the intersection of capital markets operations, enterprise applications, SQL-driven analysis, and stakeholder coordination.

You’ll join a small, high-performing technology and operations team responsible for transitioning a large portfolio of applications and operational processes into specialist technology teams.

You’ll be expected to investigate, document, analyse, recommend, and drive outcomes, rather than simply gather requirements.

Business Analyst Key Responsibilities:

- Gather and translate business requirements into clear technical requirements and user stories

- Work closely with developers to clarify functional and data-related impacts

- Support SQL and data-impact analysis for application and schema changes

- Coordinate transition and handover activities with receiving technology teams

- Engage stakeholders across Operations, Treasury, Risk, Finance, and other capital markets functions





- Produce practical recommendations and drive workstreams through to completion

Business Analyst Key Requirements:

- Strong Business Analysis experience within investment banking, capital markets, custody, treasury, settlements, regulatory, or middle/back-office environments

- Ability to write and understand SQL queries

- Experience working with enterprise applications rather than only digital/web products

- Strong analytical and documentation skills

- Ability to manage ambiguity and work independently

- Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills

Desirable:

- Exposure to Python or scripting environments (reading/understanding rather than hands-on development)

- Experience with application migration, rationalisation, decommissioning, or support transition programs

- Product Owner or hybrid BA/PO experience

Working Arrangements:

- Sydney-based

- Hybrid mode with minimum 3 days in the office

- Occasional collaboration with Singapore and Hong Kong stakeholders, so some flexibility around APAC hours is helpful

Interviews will be conducted from W/C 17th August so if you’re a technical BA from a capital markets or investment banking operations environment who enjoys owning workstreams end-to-end, please apply now for immediate consideration.
