About the Role
Flow Traders runs on data. Trading, research, finance, and operations all depend on reliable numbers and a clear understanding of what those numbers mean. Today, business teams bring questions and project ideas to our BI and FP&A specialists, but there is a gap between business intent and the specific, measurable requirements needed to deliver effective solutions. This can result in projects starting without a clear definition of ROI and KPIs lacking clear business ownership.
Responsibilities
•Work with business teams to understand the decisions behind their requests and translate ambiguous questions into clear, testable requirements that analytics and data engineers can build from independently.
•Evaluate incoming requests based on their expected value and required effort, challenging or rejecting initiatives that lack sufficient justification.
•Collaborate with project management to establish expected returns and measurement frameworks before projects begin.
•Challenge business cases with unclear, unattributable, or overlapping benefits and track realized versus projected outcomes after delivery.
•Facilitate discussions with business stakeholders to define metrics, their underlying data, and the decisions they support.
•Secure formal sign-off from named business owners and conduct recurring reviews to keep definitions relevant.
•Resolve conflicting metric definitions between business teams, establish consistency, and escalate disagreements where alignment cannot be reached.
•Act as the central point of translation between departmental business questions and reporting requirements, ensuring stakeholders understand the origins and meaning of their data.
•Identify and consolidate reporting that no longer supports business decisions, reducing unnecessary complexity and improving efficiency.
Requirements
•Substantial experience as a business analyst in a data- or reporting-heavy environment, with a proven track record of owning business requirements.
•Strong ability to translate ambiguous business questions into clear, actionable technical specifications.
•Experience developing business cases, defining expected ROI, establishing measurement frameworks, and evaluating realized benefits.
•Proven ability to define KPIs with business stakeholders, establish clear ownership, and ensure accountability for agreed metrics.
•Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the confidence to challenge assumptions, defend recommendations, and escalate issues when necessary.
•Ability to operate independently in an advisory capacity, bringing structure to complex business questions and facilitating decisions with senior stakeholders.
Nice to Have
•Experience in financial services, trading, or another regulated environment.
•Working familiarity with a modern data stack such as SQL or Power BI, sufficient to collaborate effectively with technical teams without directly building solutions.
•Exposure to data governance or data quality practices.
