Location: Greater London
Job Description:

About the Role

Engelhart is looking to appoint an experienced Business Analyst to strengthen and expand its Business Change capability as it embarks on a multi-year cross-company transformation programme. This programme aims to change the core technology architecture and embed a new operating model and ways of working, including developing a centralised market data platform. The Business Analyst role will sit within our Business Change function, focusing on developing the new operating model across the organisation, with a particular focus on designing and driving the future‑state market data platform.

This role will work closely with stakeholders across front, middle and back office to challenge existing ways of working, design future‑state processes and identify solutions for market data problems. It will also partner closely with the Data team in Technology to gather requirements for the future state.

Responsibilities

  • Partnering with stakeholders across front office, middle office and back office teams to understand current‑state processes, pain points and constraints.
  • Facilitating workshops and stakeholder discussions to challenge existing ways of working and support teams in defining a clear, forward‑thinking future state.
  • Acting as a bridge between business teams and technology, ensuring that business needs and outcomes remain central, while also driving delivery of activities.
  • Defining business requirements for the ingestion, cleansing, validation, transformation and distribution of external market data feeds, trader marks and other market data.
  • Translating business needs into technology requirements.
  • Understanding, prioritising and coordinating market data initiatives to shape a coherent future state.
  • Identifying opportunities to drive the operating model into the future, especially enabled by technology, data, automation or AI.
  • Contributing to a portfolio of change initiatives, helping to prioritise work and align improvements with strategic objectives.
  • Supporting the development of Engelhart’s change capability by introducing analysis best practices.

About You

This individual will have several years of experience in a Business Analyst role within the commodities or energy trading sector. The role would suit someone comfortable working in ambiguity and shaping problems before solutions are defined.

  • Strong understanding of how market data flows through a trading organisation; especially EOD price processes, real‑time feeds, curve building, valuation inputs and trader marks.
  • Proven experience analysing and redesigning business processes in complex, cross‑functional, global environments.
  • Ability to collaborate with stakeholders, constructively challenging assumptions while building trust and alignment.
  • Experience working with technology‑enabled and data‑driven change, including automation and AI.
  • Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to translate complex topics into clear, actionable technology solutions.
  • Curious and improvement‑oriented, with a natural inclination to ask “why” and “what could be better”.

In addition, the following knowledge and experience is not explicitly required for application, but highly desirable for this role:

  • Understanding of how market data integrates into CTRMs, risk engines and analytics platforms.
  • Experience working with or alongside third‑party market data tools and platforms.
  • Experience contributing to operating model or target architecture design.
  • Experience shaping AI strategy or identifying opportunities to embed AI into business processes to improve efficiency, controls, or insight generation.

What we Offer

  • Competitive compensation and participation in Engelhart’s discretionary bonus plan.
  • 25 days of annual holiday entitlement, excluding UK public holidays.
  • Robust benefits package such as medical, dental, life insurance, generous pension contribution, and supplemental benefits partially subsidised by the Company.

We believe in inclusivity and are therefore dedicated to ensuring all employees – across gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, life experience, background and more – feel welcome and included in the company. We promote diversity because we believe it is essential to our ability to think holistically.
