We're looking for a Senior Business Analyst with strong, hands-on experience delivering data initiatives to join a major financial services organisation.

This role sits within a central enterprise data function, working across Risk, Finance and Technology to shape and deliver data products, platform capabilities and strategic data solutions.

This is not a generalist BA role. We're looking for someone whose experience is genuinely centred around data transformation, data products, data platforms and enterprise data capabilities.

What you'll be doing

• Lead business analysis across enterprise data strategy and data transformation initiatives
• Define and document data requirements, business rules, data definitions and business needs
• Work with business stakeholders to understand how data needs to be produced, consumed and used to support decision-making and regulatory requirements
• Translate complex business needs into practical, scalable solutions alongside data, technology and architecture teams
• Contribute to the development of enterprise data products and reusable data capabilities
• Analyse complex data-related problems and identify opportunities to improve data quality, consistency, scalability and reuse
• Facilitate workshops and bring business and technology stakeholders together around data requirements and solutions
• Support the successful delivery and adoption of new data capabilities across the organisation

What we're looking for

• Senior Business Analyst experience with a strong and demonstrable data focus
• Financial services or banking experience
• Proven delivery experience across data platforms, data products, enterprise data solutions or data transformation
• Strong capability in defining data requirements, business rules, data flows and data-related business requirements
• Experience working closely with data teams, technology teams, architects and business stakeholders
• Ability to understand complex business problems and translate them into effective, scalable data solutions
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence, challenge and build alignment with senior stakeholders
• Experience operating within a large, complex enterprise environment

Highly desirable

• Risk or Finance data experience
• Data governance, data quality or regulatory data experience
• Experience with enterprise data transformation
• Experience working with data products or product-oriented data delivery
• Experience developing reusable data capabilities across multiple business areas

The opportunity

This is an opportunity to work on strategic, enterprise-level data initiatives with genuine business impact.

You'll operate at the intersection of business, data and technology, helping define what data the organisation needs, how it should be structured and managed, and how new data capabilities can be delivered and reused across the enterprise.

If you're a Senior BA who genuinely specialises in data and has delivered enterprise data initiatives within a complex financial services environment, we'd like to hear from you.
