Department description
Marex has unique access across markets with significant share globally both on and off exchange. The depth of knowledge amongst its teams and divisions provides its customers with clear advantage, and its technology-led service provides access to all major exchanges, order-flow management via screen, voice and DMA, plus award-winning data, insights and analytics.
The Technology Department delivers differentiation, scalability and security for the business. Technology provides digital tools, software services and infrastructure globally to all business groups. Software development and support teams work in agile ‘streams’ aligned to specific business areas. Our other teams work enterprise-wide to provide critical services including our global service desk, network and system infrastructure, IT operations, security, enterprise architecture and design.
The Business Technology function ensures delivery of Technology services to each Marex business area. We partner with the business to optimise their technology stack, prioritise their strategic technology roadmap and drive their software delivery lifecycle. We define and agree change initiatives with the organisation’s business areas and then coordinate delivery against specific acceptance criteria. Each Business Technology team is aligned to one of Marex’s business divisions and works with a corresponding Development team and Application Support team. A global team of implementation resources coordinate and support the technology business streams with delivery.
Role Summary
A Business Analyst within Client Technology partners with Front Office, Operations, Compliance, Risk, Client Services and Technology teams to shape and deliver improvements to client-facing technology and associated processes. The role focuses on capturing and refining requirements, mapping end-to-end client journeys, and translating business needs into clear deliverables for development, configuration and operational teams.
The Business Analyst supports delivery from discovery through to implementation and business acceptance, coordinating with product owners, developers, QA and support to ensure solutions meet client needs and operational controls. They remain a key point of contact for stakeholders throughout the lifecycle, including during go‑live, hypercare and transition to BAU support.
The Business Analyst will help Client Technology define, prioritise and deliver technology change that enhances the end-to-end client experience, improves service and operational efficiency, and supports scalable growth at Marex. The role will be aligned to the Client Technology workstream but is expected to collaborate across business streams where client journeys and shared platforms (data, reporting, digital channels and integration) intersect.
Responsibilities

- Lead discovery and requirements definition for client technology change (client onboarding, client portals/digital channels, connectivity/integration, CRM and client data, reporting and communications).
- Analyse and document end-to-end client journeys and operating models, identifying pain points, control gaps and opportunities for automation/standardisation.
- Translate business needs into epics, features and user stories with clear acceptance criteria, data requirements and non-functional requirements (security, resilience, performance, auditability).

- Contribute to product and platform direction by evaluating solutions (build/buy/configure), documenting trade-offs, and ensuring alignment with enterprise architecture and standards.
- Maintain clear documentation (process maps, requirements, data definitions, test evidence) and provide transparent reporting of scope, progress, dependencies, risks and decisions.
- Coordinate delivery across multiple teams (development, QA, infrastructure, security, vendors) to ensure outcomes are delivered on time, on budget and to agreed quality.
- Build and maintain effective relationships with senior business and technology stakeholders, ensuring alignment on objectives, scope, priorities, dependencies and delivery outcomes.
- Manage stakeholder expectations and communications, facilitating workshops and ensuring priorities are agreed and kept current.
- Ensure delivered solutions are production-ready, appropriately controlled, and handed over with support documentation, training materials and agreed operational procedures.
- Be familiar with regulatory, audit and compliance requirements impacting client onboarding, communications, data handling and access; ensure solutions meet these requirements.
- Promote secure-by-design and resilient-by-design delivery, ensuring appropriate controls for identity and access management, data privacy, and third-party integrations.
- Leverage AI and modern analysis/tooling (where appropriate and compliant) to accelerate requirements elicitation, improve documentation quality/consistency, and enhance insight generation across client journeys and data.
- Support continuous improvement of analysis and delivery practices (templates, standards, tooling), and contribute to lessons learned to reduce rework and improve client outcomes.
