Description:

Business Systems Analyst

Project: Digital Transformation

Industry: Energy Trading

Location: London

X4 Technology are partnered with a high-growth trading organisation undergoing a major multi-year digital transformation, offering the opportunity for a Mandarin-Speaking Business Systems Analyst to join their London technology team in a newly-created, growth-oriented role.

This digital transformation is enterprise-scale and technically-diverse, covering everything from trading systems to AI, data science, modelling and real-time analytics. Key initiatives include trading optimisation, live price forecasting, global market data consolidation, front-office time-series management, curve building, commercial risk and P&L reporting. You'll gain end-to-end exposure across microservices architecture, system integrations and platform migrations, giving you a broad view across the business, application, data and trading technology landscape.

Day-to-day, you'll work at the heart of these key initiatives to gather, document and own technical requirements through to production, while also getting hands-on with the technologies themselves - investigating system and data issues, querying databases, validating information and working directly with both business users and technical teams across the UK and Far East, using your Mandarin language skills to bridge the two.

This is a role that combines business-facing analysis with genuine technical depth, playing a key role in driving a high-performing digital estate across the organisation's global trading environment.
