What you will do

• Lead end-to-end business analysis for products, domains or major workstreams.
• Work directly with client business, product, technology and architecture stakeholders.
• Gather and structure business and functional requirements, translating them into processes, capabilities, user stories, acceptance criteria and analysis outputs.
• Facilitate workshops, interviews and discovery sessions; analyse current-state products, processes and customer journeys and define future-state solutions.
• Challenge assumptions, support scope definition and prioritisation, assess estimates and solution options, and identify and resolve delivery, design and dependency risks.
• Collaborate with Product Owners, architects, developers, testers and delivery teams; review deliverables, maintain quality standards and mentor less experienced analysts.

Requirements

• Typically 5+ years of relevant commercial experience in business analysis or a closely related role, including hands-on experience as a Business Analyst, Functional Analyst or product-oriented Business Analyst.
• Proven banking or financial-services experience is required.
• Strong understanding of banking products, processes and operating models, including experience in at least one retail banking area: payments, cards, deposits or accounts, onboarding/KYC, lending/credit or digital banking.
• Ability to independently manage an analysis workstream and deliver high-quality outputs.
• Strong stakeholder management, workshop facilitation, client-facing communication and presentation skills.
• Ability to structure ambiguous problems, challenge assumptions and turn business needs into clear next steps.
• Very good English and strong communication skills.
• Experience working with technology and delivery teams in Agile environments.

• API, integration and data-modelling awareness; BPMN/UML and SQL sufficient to support analysis.
• Product Owner, product discovery or consulting experience.
• Practical experience using generative AI in business analysis or software delivery.
