Senior Business Analyst - AI Workflow Design, SQL, Snowflake - £600 - £700/day
Are you an experienced Business Analyst ready to drive a major AI-led transformation at a leading global firm that invests in and grows successful companies? Do you possess the gravitas to challenge existing processes and design high-value, end-to-end AI solutions that augment human expertise?
A top-tier firm in the highly dynamic and specialized Private Markets sector is shifting its tech strategy from core system overhauls to an ambitious, business-centric AI Optimisation Roadmap. This is a critical, high-impact role where you'll be the linchpin between business operations and a new dedicated AI development team.
Senior Business Analyst: Core Responsibilities
Your mandate is to move beyond simple AI tools (like document-upload or prompt-based solutions) to design complex, integrated AI workflows that truly transform business functions.
* Process Transformation: Challenge existing operational models across teams (Firm Finance, Fund Finance, Tax, Legal) to identify and re-engineer processes ripe for AI optimisation.
* AI Workflow Design: Lead the design and documentation of sophisticated, end-to-end AI solutions that integrate multiple data sources and deliver tangible, monthly value to different business teams.
* Stakeholder Leadership: Act as a seasoned professional, carrying authority and leading business users through significant process change, particularly within specialized functions like Fund Finance and Portfolio Valuation.
* Technical Bridging: Facilitate clear, technical conversations with the newly engaged managed service development team (3 Developers + Scrum Master) to ensure solution integrity and deliverability.
Essential Experience & Technical Skillset for the Senior Business Analyst
We are seeking a 'hands-on' Business Analyst with a proven track record of delivering complex technical projects and the ability to operate at a senior level.
* Technical Proficiency: Essential SQL skills for data interrogation, specifically within a Snowflake environment.
* Architecture Understanding: A solid grasp of API architecture to inform design decisions, though no hands-on coding is required.
* Financial Domain: Experience in Private Markets or related financial services is highly preferred, but outstanding BA skills in complex workflows are paramount.
* Project Delivery: Proven ability to drive projects from initial concept through to successful launch, complementing a firm-wide initiative (Phase 1 recently launched, Phase 2 imminent).
The Opportunity & Next Steps 🚀
Join us at the start of a multi-year AI roadmap focused on doubling down on existing systems to deliver maximum data value.
