•    User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Facilitate UAT processes to validate automation solutions and ensure they meet business requirements.

•    Business Analysis: Gather and analyze requirements from stakeholders to inform automation projects and solutions.

•    Documentation: Maintain clear documentation of automation processes, standards, and project progress to ensure transparency and knowledge sharing.
What we are looking for: 

• years of experience as a business analyst, modeler or product owner in a data-centric environment.

•    Fundamental understanding of equity and fixed income markets.

•    Proven experience working within an Agile framework, including sprint management and collaboration with cross-functional teams.

•    Proficiency in Python programming, including experience in developing automation scripts and implementing best practices.

•    Strong capabilities in business analysis, requirement gathering, and effective stakeholder communication.

•    Familiarity with User Acceptance Testing (UAT) processes is a plus.
