Looking to change my career a little- I've been in Investment Management Ops for years now but I am craving a change, thinking of staying in finance but wanting a role that is more data analysis oriented where you work on solving issues vs working on daily repetitive tasks. Does anyone have thoughts/advice? How hard it is with no SQL experience, I see it is required most of the time?

Learn SQL at at a min and not cut and paste SQL but how to code- when I post Data Analyst or Data Scientist jobs I get 4X the number of applicants- mostly early career-but all have Python, R, SQL, BI tools out the wazoo and CS or IT degrees etc etc - I can be super picky- but SQL is table stakes and unless you're applying for finance excel jockey jobs it will be required. Maybe Focus on BA/ BI roles? Get certs in Tableau, and other data viz tools and you'll probably be able to qualify for BI / BA roles supporting finance orgs to make the most of your experience.
