Business Analyst, SDLC, Technology, Global, Big Data, Professional Services, Big 4, Insurance, Remote
Business Analyst required to join a global Professional Services business based in Central London. However, this is practically a remote role, but when travel is required (to London, Europe and the States on occasions), you will be reimbursed for your travel and accommodation.The Business Analyst will work with stakeholders from key business units and related third parties to define and document business processes and software requirements for Global IT’s product suite, including online products, content management systems, and business information systems.
The purpose of this position is to act as the pivot or intermediary between defined business stakeholder groups and IT to ensure that business requirements are delivered in IT solutions; inclusive of the development of reports, preparing information from internal and external data sources to support compliance-oriented business decisions, projects and other initiatives.
This is basically working alongside a Product Management team who work on a suite of large digital product that are used globally by this particular company. However, it is heavily governed in a regulated environment, so we are ideally looking for someone who has owed products that are surrounded by governance.
Anyone from industry sectors like the Big 4, Insurance, Accountancy or Banking would be ideal for this role. We need this person to have hardened Business and Technical Stakeholder Management skills, who can manage stakeholders globally and sometimes attend face to face meetings in the likes of the Europe and America. We also need someone who is tech / SDLC heavy in their experience and has managed significant platforms in the past from a Business Analysis perspective.
As this has global coverage, there may be some early / late calls. You must be prepared for this. There will be give and take with times, along with some flexibility if things are becoming quite taxing. However, we want someone dedicated and definitely not someone who wants a hardened 9am - 5pm kind of position! Read on for more details…
