G MASS are working with an international financial services group to appoint a Senior Business Analyst to lead the move of their synthetic equity swaps operation onto a new third-party SaaS platform. The business currently runs on a spreadsheet-driven process that has grown over time with little formal documentation, and this role will turn it into a clearly defined, controlled and auditable operating model.
You will own the overall delivery plan and testing approach, working alongside a London-based platform specialist who will lead the detailed technical challenge to the vendor. This is a hands-on position covering everything from current state discovery through to go-live, parallel running and post-launch improvement, suited to someone who understands the swap lifecycle in depth and is comfortable holding a demanding business to account.
Responsibilities
- Build a complete picture of how the process works today, working with the trading, operations and client services teams to unpick the spreadsheet and macro logic and the services currently provided by the vendor
- Translate that understanding into business requirements and target state process designs for the new platform, keeping them up to date as scope develops
- Design new operating procedures for the activities being brought in-house from the vendor
- Plan and lead user acceptance testing with the BAU team, producing the test evidence and sign-off pack needed for audit
- Oversee reconciliation of migrated data and manage the parallel run ahead of cutover
- Produce procedures and control descriptions that satisfy SOX requirements and are practical for operations staff to use day to day
- After go-live, support the onboarding of new clients and flows, and identify and specify opportunities to automate remaining manual work
Requirements
- Background as a business analyst or senior operations professional within equity swaps, total return swaps, CFDs or wider synthetic equity
- Strong grasp of the full swap lifecycle, including resets, financing, dividends, corporate actions, collateral, settlement and reconciliations
- Experience documenting processes and controls within a SOX or similarly regulated control environment
- Hands-on UAT delivery, including producing audit-ready test evidence
- Excellent written communication, with the confidence to challenge senior stakeholders constructively
Desirable
- Experience using or supporting Calypso
- Exposure to synthetic prime brokerage, or swap business with hedge funds or ETF issuers
- A track record of replacing spreadsheet-based tools with system-driven processes
Benefits
Location: New York, in the office five days a week by default
Engagement: Contract through G MASS on an initial six month basis. Option to convert to a permanent role.

Tips for Your Equity Analyst Job Search
Tailor your resume to sector coverage
Equity analyst postings often specify a sector, tech, healthcare, financials, industrials. Rewrite your resume's summary and experience bullets to match the exact sector in each posting, naming the companies and metrics you've analyzed within that vertical.
Highlight your financial modeling depth
Hiring managers scan for DCF, LBO, and comparable company analysis by name. List the specific models you've built, the data sources you used, and the investment decisions those models informed, not just that you have modeling experience.
Get your CFA progress on the page early
Many postings treat CFA Level I passage as a threshold filter. If you've passed any level or are enrolled, state it clearly near the top of your resume so it isn't buried and missed by a quick scan.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists equity analyst openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match your sector focus and seniority level and apply directly to each listing without sorting through unrelated results.
Prepare a stock pitch before every interview
Almost every equity analyst interview includes a live pitch, a buy, sell, or hold recommendation on a stock of your choice. Prepare two or three pitches across different sectors so you can pivot if the interviewer requests a specific industry.
Follow up with a written investment idea
After a first-round interview, send a brief written investment thesis on a company relevant to the firm's coverage universe. It demonstrates initiative and gives the team a concrete sample of your research quality before the next round.
Equity Analyst Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most equity analysts?
The companies hiring the most equity analysts right now include JPMorganChase, Guidepoint, and Thrivent, with the largest share of openings in New York, Texas, and Massachusetts, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially concentrated at large asset managers, regional investment banks, and independent research boutiques.
How many equity analyst jobs are remote?
About 71% of equity analyst openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with remote arrangements more common in quantitative research and data-focused roles than in traditional sell-side or buy-side coverage positions, which often require on-site presence for client meetings and trading floor access.
How do you become an equity analyst?
Start with a bachelor's degree in finance, economics, or accounting, then build financial modeling skills through coursework, case competitions, or internships at an investment firm. Passing CFA Level I strengthens your application significantly. Entry-level roles at research boutiques or as a junior analyst on a coverage team are the most common starting points before moving into independent stock coverage.
How do you get hired as an equity analyst with little or no experience?
Focus on demonstrating analytical output rather than titles. Build a stock pitch portfolio with written reports covering two or three companies in a specific sector, using publicly available filings and earnings transcripts. Internships at regional broker-dealers or small asset managers, even unpaid ones, give you coverage experience that full-time hiring managers treat as equivalent to entry-level tenure.
What does the equity analyst interview process look like?
Most equity analyst interviews run three to four rounds. The first is a screening call focused on your background and market interest. Subsequent rounds involve a live stock pitch, a financial modeling test using a provided dataset, and a case study or written research sample submitted in advance. Final rounds at buy-side firms often include a meeting with the portfolio manager overseeing the coverage team.
Where can I find and apply to equity analyst jobs?
You can find and apply to equity analyst jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search for roles that match your sector focus, seniority level, and preferred location, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background.
