The Technical Business Analyst - Custodial Projects will be embedded in this work from day one, sitting at the intersection of regulatory requirements, business operations, and system design.

Who You Are:
  • 3-6 years of experience in a business analyst, product analyst, or similar role within financial services, fintech, or a broker-dealer / FCM environment
  • NFA/CFTC experience is preferred. Candidates with equivalent regulatory experience or other domestic or international frameworks will be considered where they demonstrate strong regulatory acumen and a track record of developing domain expertise.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate complex regulatory or operational requirements into clear written specifications, process documentation, and system design inputs
  • Experience working across legal, compliance, and technology teams in a cross-functional environment
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication - you write clearly, ask sharp questions, and surface ambiguity before it becomes a problem
  • Proficiency with documentation tools (Confluence, Jira, or equivalent)
