Today Saltus manages and advises on over £11 billion of client assets, acquired through a combination of organic business growth and corporate acquisitions.

What does this role look like?

• Act as the primary go between for business stakeholders and the BI developers, ensuring requirements are clearly understood on both sides.
• Partner with business stakeholders across the firm (e.g. financial planning, operations, compliance) to understand their goals and translate them into well defined BI requirements.
• Challenge and refine incoming requests to ensure the underlying business question is properly understood before development begins, not just the surface-level ask.
• Work closely with the BI Manager to prioritise the JIRA backlog, ensuring tickets are well-scoped, appropriately sequenced, and reflect business value and urgency.
• Own the creation and upkeep of epics, stories and tickets in JIRA, including acceptance criteria, so developers have what they need to build the right solution first time.
• Validate delivered dashboards, reports and data products against the original business question, ensuring genuine business value is delivered not just a technically complete ticket.
• Provide regular visibility to stakeholders on progress, timelines and trade offs, managing expectations proactively.
• Identify recurring themes or gaps in business requests and feed these back into the team’s roadmap and prioritisation discussions.
• Support adoption of delivered BI solutions, gathering feedback and feeding enhancement requests back into the backlog.
• Champion best practice in requirement gathering and backlog management across the wider BI team.

Technical competencies/Skillsets desired:

• Degree level qualification (2:1 or higher), ideally in a related field, and around 5 years’ experience in BI development, data analysis, or a similar role.
• Experience in wealth management, asset management, or broader financial services, with an understanding of the industry’s data and reporting needs.
• Proven experience with Power BI dashboards and strong data visualisation skills enough to have informed conversations with developers on feasibility, data models and design trade offs.
• Advanced SQL skills.
• Practical JIRA experience for backlog management, ticket writing and prioritisation (epics, sprints, story grooming).
• A strong track record as a business analyst, product owner, or BI/data business partner, turning ambiguous business needs into clear technical requirements.
• A can-do, outcomes-first mindset using initiative to spot opportunities and solve challenges with data, and thriving on suggesting solutions rather than just flagging issues.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to challenge requests constructively across technical and non-technical audiences.
• A genuine passion for data-driven insights and their impact on business performance.
