This is a great job for someone who has a strong analytical mindset and experience in business analysis or change delivery, ideally within a finance function within financial services.

Are you a Business Analyst looking to broaden into a more delivery-focused role or already working in a project or change environment and keen to deepen your impact across a large scale, complex transformation programme?

A bit about the job

This role sits within the IWR (Insurance, wealth and retirements) Finance Transformation team and focuses on supporting change delivery across IWR Finance, either within our own portfolio, or as part of a Finance workstream on a programme funded outside of Finance. You'll analyse business processes, gather and document requirements, and help deliver improvements that enhance efficiency, data quality and regulatory compliance.

Working closely with stakeholders across a large-scale transformation programme, Finance and Technology, you'll act as a key link between business and technical teams. You'll support end-to-end change delivery, helping to shape solutions, track progress and ensure initiatives align to strategic objectives.

Skills and experience we're looking for

Experience in business analysis within finance or similarly regulated environments

Strong ability to gather, document and translate business requirements into clear solutions (e.g. user stories, process flows)

Confident stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work across business and technology teams

Knowledge of industry best practices, including both existing and emerging technologies (ideally holding a professional Business Analysis qualification).

Analytical mindset with experience identifying process improvements and driving efficiencies
