Business Analyst
Location: UK / Remote
Salary: Competitive + strong benefits
Shape the next generation of fintech.
We’re partnering with an ambitious, high-growth financial technology company that’s reinventing how people move, manage and multiply money. They’re scaling fast and need a Business Analyst who can translate bold ideas into robust, data-driven solutions.
What you’ll be doing
Own the discovery process – mapping requirements from strategy through to delivery.
Break complex financial workflows into simple, testable stories for engineers and product teams.
Use data to uncover patterns, spot opportunities and back every recommendation.
Collaborate across product, design, and engineering to launch new features that delight customers and meet regulatory standards.
Constantly refine processes to keep projects lean and outcomes sharp.
What you’ll bring
Experience as a Business Analyst in fintech, payments, banking or a similar high-scale environment.
Strong grasp of APIs, data flows, and system integrations.
A talent for clear documentation and stakeholder communication.
Comfort working in agile squads and shipping quickly.
Curiosity and a love of digging deep into data and user behaviour.
Why join
This isn’t just another BA role. You’ll be embedded in a product team shaping the financial tools of tomorrow, with the autonomy to influence architecture, design and go-to-market strategy. Expect rapid growth, genuine ownership, and the chance to make a visible impact in a sector that’s moving faster than ever.

Culture overview

At Haystack we work like the product we build – fast, transparent and signal-driven. We trust people to own their work and give them the space to ship without red tape. Ideas win on merit, not job titles. We’re remote-friendly but tightly connected, using daily async stand-ups and quick calls when it matters. Feedback flows openly, experiments happen daily, and learning is built into the job. Everyone here cares about craft – whether that’s clean code, crisp design or clear communication – and we back each other to keep raising the bar. We celebrate wins, own mistakes and move on quickly. If you like autonomy, impact and a team that genuinely roots for each other, you’ll feel at home at Haystack.
