Preqin Solutions is seeking a Junior Business Analyst for our software implementation team in London. If you're curious about software, and love to build, tinker and analyse models (maybe you know a little SQL or VBA but are not a software engineer? Great at building Excel models but not a seasoned Analyst?), and if you have a logical and friendly approach to problem-solving, we'd love to hear from you.
The Junior Business Analyst will work with a small, energetic, and intelligent team in London to configure our finance software for clients during and after software implementation. It requires familiarity with financial concepts, Excel skills, and good communication skills. We are looking for curiosity and an interest in working at the intersection of Finance and Technology.
