Job Description

- Work closely with architects, engineers and vendors to support solution and integration design.
- Contribute to the definition of system interfaces, data flows and integration patterns.
- Support vendor and platform implementations, including configuration-led solutions.
- Act as a bridge between business stakeholders and technical teams, ensuring shared understanding.
- Process & Operating Model Analysis
- Map and analyse current-state and target-state business processes across front-to-back operating models.
- Identify inefficiencies, control gaps and opportunities for automation or simplification.
- Support the design of future-state processes aligned to technology solutions and strategic objectives.
- Data Analysis
- Analyse data structures, data flows and reporting requirements across systems.
- Support data migration, data quality assessments and reconciliation activities.
- Work with data and technology teams to define data requirements and logic.
- Delivery & Ways of Working
- Operate effectively within Agile delivery frameworks (Scrum, Kanban or hybrid).
- Manage and maintain backlogs, user stories and epics using Jira.
- Support sprint planning, refinement, reviews and retrospectives.
- Partner with Product Owners and Delivery Leads to ensure priorities are clear and achievable.
- Stakeholder Management
- Engage confidently with senior stakeholders across Technology, Operations, Finance, Risk and Compliance.
- Facilitate workshops, working sessions and design discussions.
- Provide clear, structured communication on requirements, issues and dependencies.
- Required Experience & Skills
- Proven experience as a Business Analyst or Technical Business Analyst delivering technology implementation projects.
- Strong background in financial services within regulated environments.
- Demonstrable experience supporting enterprise technology or core platform implementations
- Strong capabilities in:
-
-
- Process mapping and analysis
- Requirements definition and documentation
- Integration and interface design support
- Data analysis and data-driven problem solving
-
- Hands-on experience working in Agile delivery environments.
- Strong Jira experience, including backlog management and user story definition.
