Technical Business Analyst

The role

Reporting to the Head of Technical Delivery, this Senior Business Analyst role sits at the centre of complex, high‑impact initiatives - helping turn business needs into well defined, deliverable outcomes. You’ll work closely with stakeholders across Technology and the wider business to build a strong understanding of our systems, processes, and customer journeys. This is a hands on role where you’ll bring structure to ambiguity, ask the right questions, and translate ideas into clear requirements that support quality, agile delivery.

You’ll play a key role in shaping solutions, influencing decisions, and helping teams deliver meaningful change.

What you'll do 

• Quickly build a clear end‑to‑end understanding of initiatives, including scope, requirements, risks, dependencies, and measures of success.
• Lead discovery sessions and workshops with subject matter experts to clarify problems, explore options, and recommend practical, value focused solutions.
• Own the requirements lifecycle - from discovery and documentation through to prioritisation, refinement, and change management.
• Write clear and well structured user stories and acceptance criteria to support iterative, agile delivery.
• Act as the bridge between business and technology, ensuring shared understanding and alignment throughout delivery.
• Partner closely with delivery teams during build and test phases, supporting refinement and issue resolution as needed.
• Work flexibly across a shared delivery pool, contributing to strategic programmes, business transformation, and project work.

What you'll bring 

• 5+ years’ experience as a Senior Business Analyst working in agile environments, ideally within financial services.
• Must have a strong experience working with financial services platforms and processes – ideally having worked on large transformation in this area.
• A structured, analytical approach to problem‑solving, with confidence to challenge assumptions and influence a range of stakeholders.
• Proven experience facilitating workshops, documenting requirements, and supporting delivery teams through change.
• Clear, confident communication skills, with the ability to work at pace in a dynamic and evolving environment.
