Data Analyst

One of our critical technology groups is looking for a Data Analyst to join their team. One of the many responsibilities of this team is to work with the trading desks and Compliance teams to ensure our systems are compliant in handling order and trade flow. In this role, you will query, analyze, cleanse and transform this data in response to internal and external regulatory inquiries. We get regulatory requests for specific orders along with more broad system inquiries, so you will need to be both detailed and holistic in your approach.

Your skills will be used to detect patterns and anomalies in the data, which you will then interpret and present to management. In turn, this will allow them to make informed business decisions based on your findings. You will be tasked with thinking about how our systems requirements will change in light of new regulatory rules and work with the various technology teams to address these changes within our environment. In order to be successful in this role, you will work with multiple stakeholders as you gather business information, elicit requirements, and evaluate needs.
