Business Analyst with a strong financial services background urgently required to support a variety of change and product delivery projects on an initial 3-month contract (high potential for extension).
The assignment is deemed inside IR35, offers a daily rate of £590 and is based flexibly from Swindon.
This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role for a flexible BA who combines strong data analysis skills with Agile delivery experience.
Working closely with Product Owners, Business Leads, and delivery teams, you’ll play a key role in supporting business decision-making through data analysis and insight, whilst driving the definition and delivery of change via well-crafted user stories and structured Agile processes.
To be considered for this opportunity, applicants must have the following:
* Proven experience as a Business Analyst within Financial Services
* Strong data analysis skills - confident working with Excel, SQL, and/or data visualisation tools (e.g. Power BI)
* Demonstrable experience in Agile delivery - excellent skills in writing user stories and contributing to Refinement sessions
* Exemplary stakeholder management, communication, and influencing skills
* Ability to manage workload flexibly across multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced environment
* Strong understanding of Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban) and product delivery processes
This is an excellent opportunity to join a multi-year, complex transformation programme - you’ll be responsible for analysing business and operational data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities, and present these insights to stakeholders to inform product development and project decisions.
You will capture and document business requirements, translating them into clear, actionable user stories with defined acceptance criteria. A key part of the role will be participating in Agile ceremonies - including backlog refinement sessions - where you’ll talk through requirements and user stories with delivery teams. As priorities evolve, you’ll need to operate flexibly across multiple projects, supporting initiatives at different stages of delivery within a financial services environment.
To be considered for this assignment, applicants must have a strong business analysis background within financial services, working across change and product delivery projects and excellent data analysis skills.
