Role Overview

This is an AI-Augmented Business Analyst role within the Corporate Functions Technology team, part of the TP ICAP Technology division. The role combines traditional business analysis disciplines — requirements elicitation, stakeholder communication, process mapping — with modern AI-assisted ways of working to drive productivity, quality, and speed of delivery.

The focus will be working across the delivery portfolios for the Brokerage & Pricing organisations, with a particular emphasis on leveraging AI tooling to extract logic from legacy codebases, automate documentation workflows, and provide rapid, evidence-based responses to business and technology queries.

Role Responsibilities

Business Analysis (Core)

• Elicit, analyse, and document requirements for Technology projects, producing clear, concise artefacts including User Stories, Business Process Flows, Gap Analyses, and Impact Assessments.

• Lead requirements gathering and process definition workshops with business stakeholders; proactively ensure sign-off from senior Business and Technology stakeholders.

• Monitor, track, and escalate risks, issues, and dependencies on analysis and requirements work.

• Contribute to business architecture and business solution design alongside Solution Architects and Development teams.

• Support User Acceptance Testing definition and end-user training.

AI-Assisted Analysis & Legacy Migration

• Use AI tools (e.g. LLMs, code-reading agents) to review and interpret source code, extracting business logic and rules from legacy systems to support migration to modern platforms.

• Produce logic mapping documentation between legacy and target systems, ensuring completeness and traceability of business rules through the migration lifecycle.

• Respond to business and technology queries by leveraging AI to interrogate the codebase directly, providing rapid, evidence-based answers rather than relying solely on tribal knowledge.

• Validate AI-generated outputs against domain expertise to ensure accuracy and business alignment.

Automation & Productivity

• Use MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations and automation tooling to publish and maintain documentation directly in Confluence and JIRA, reducing manual overhead and keeping artefacts current.

• Automate repetitive analysis tasks — such as impact assessments, data mapping, and requirement traceability — using AI-assisted workflows.

• Continuously identify opportunities to streamline BA processes through AI and automation, setting a standard for the wider team.

AI Agents, Steering & Skills Guidance

• Evaluate, configure, and steer AI agents (e.g. coding assistants, documentation agents, query-response agents) to support delivery within the Brokerage & Pricing portfolio.

• Provide skills analysis and practical guidance to teams within Corporate Services on effective use of AI tools in their day-to-day work — including prompt engineering, agent configuration, and output validation.

• Act as a point of reference for AI-first ways of working within the BA discipline, championing responsible adoption and sharing best practices across the Technology division.

Experience / Competences

The chosen candidate will be an excellent communicator, a self-starter, comfortable working in complex environments, and genuinely curious about how AI can enhance — not replace — rigorous business analysis.

Knowledge

• Expert understanding of back-office and accounts receivable processes, including trading fee schedules, invoice generation, ledger management, cash collection, and cash allocation.

• Working knowledge of Accounts Receivable systems such as Oracle Financials (desirable).

• Good understanding of the front-to-back trade lifecycle, including trading, middle/back-office (booking, clearing), on-boarding, and reference data (desirable).

• Understanding of the full project lifecycle from requirements capture through to implementation and delivery.

• Familiarity with AI/LLM tooling (e.g. GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) and how they can be applied to code comprehension, documentation generation, and query resolution.

• Awareness of MCP (Model Context Protocol) and API-driven automation for integrating AI agents with enterprise tools (Confluence, JIRA, GitLab).

Experience

• Proven experience operating as a Business Analyst in Financial Services Technology.

• Experience in an Agile development environment and good knowledge of Agile processes.

• Experience — or demonstrable interest — in using AI tools to support analysis, documentation, or code comprehension (this can include personal projects, certifications, or self-directed learning).

• Experience supporting legacy system migrations, including logic extraction and mapping (desirable).

Skills

• Strong problem-solving, documentation, and ability to work to tight deadlines.

• Ability to use AI to read and interpret code to extract business logic and validate AI-generated outputs.

• Ability to work on multiple projects whilst managing differing priorities.

• Self-starter who identifies tasks independently and works effectively as a team member.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; strong stakeholder management and presentation skills at all levels.

• Ability to provide detailed, meaningful interpretation of information in a concise manner.

• Strong analytical ability with excellent attention to detail.

• Comfortable experimenting with new AI tools and workflows, with a bias towards practical application over theory.

• Skilled in Microsoft applications, inclusive of MS Visio and/or BPMN 2.0; familiarity with Confluence and JIRA.

• Service-oriented, adaptable, resilient, and results-driven with personal accountability.
