Business Analyst - Enterprise Data Platform Migration
We are hiring a Business Analyst to join an Intellias delivery team on a large-scale enterprise data platform migration programme for a financial services client. You will bridge the client's domain owners and stewards on one side and the delivery engineers on the other, and you will own the backlog in Azure DevOps.
Project overview:
Our client is an independent, active global asset manager with over R3 trillion in assets under management. They are executing a firm-wide data strategy to govern, manage and engineer data as a product across more than 70 business-owned sub-domains.
As part of this, they are migrating to Databricks as the foundational layer of their Enterprise Data Platform, adopting a lakehouse architecture built on open formats, declarative pipelines and Unity Catalog.
Requirements:
- Financial services background, ideally asset management, banking or capital markets.
- 5+ years of business analysis on data or platform programmes.
- Strong experience of Azure DevOps for backlog management, sprint planning and reporting.
- Comfort with data engineering vocabulary: schemas, contracts, lineage, DQ, medallion architecture, Unity Catalog.
- Track record of writing engineer-ready requirements rather than high-level statements.
- Experience working across multiple domain teams and stakeholders on a single programme.
- Fluent working English.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with investment management data (positions, transactions, portfolio, performance, security master, reference data).
- Prior experience in a federated data mesh or data domain operating model.
- Databricks working knowledge sufficient to walk a steward through Unity Catalog artefacts.
Responsibilities:
- Elicit requirements from domain owners and stewards and turn them into engineer-ready specifications with source-to-target mappings, semantic definitions and DQ expectations.
- Define data contracts and agree acceptance criteria for each migrated domain.
- Maintain the programme backlog in Azure DevOps against the client's ways of working.
- Track cross-domain dependencies and surface them to the Delivery Manager and Programme Steering.
- Own the domain migration readiness checklist (steward committed, source contracts documented, consumption use cases agreed) before a domain enters build.
- Contribute to documentation living alongside the code.
