Business Analyst/Product Owner-Canadian Brokerage Experience

**Hybrid Remote | 2 weeks per month onsite in Boston, MA, Smithfield, RI, Merrimack, NH, or Westlake, TX**

The Role

The Senior Business Systems Analyst / Product Owner is responsible for partnering with the tech lead to drive requirements, prioritize delivery, and ensure solutions meet both business and technical objectives. This hybrid role blends the strategic vision and prioritization skills of a Product Owner with the analytical rigor and detail orientation of a Business Analyst.

This position will focus on complex and large-scale brokerage trading platforms, with an emphasis on Canadian brokerage trading, clearing, and settlement processes—including integration with Canadian depositories, custodians, and regulatory frameworks. The successful candidate will work closely with traders, operations teams, and technology partners to support the full trade lifecycle from order execution through post-trade settlement and reconciliation.

You will thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment, collaborating across teams and geographies to bring innovative ideas to market within the company. This role requires an ability to translate business needs into clear, actionable stories, manage a product backlog, and ensure delivery aligns with both strategic objectives and operational realities.

Due to client requirement, applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
