Role Description
In an exciting time of change at Allianz Personal, collaboration is key!

Working in an agile environment, you will bring energy to our strategies on key change for the business.

Salary Information

* Pay is based on relevant experience, skills for the role, and location.
About You
You’re a Business Analyst looking to make a difference and exact real change, used to taking a loose brief and shaping it into what’s required for the Business. You’ll want a role where you can work collaboratively but with autonomy, supported by others in your team but trusted to do your job well and be given flexibility to manage your time to get the job done.
As an analyst with industry experience, you will build a track record of taking strategic vision through to realisation. You’re naturally curious, insightful and get to the bottom of problems your stakeholders haven't even thought of yet. Your ability to communicate and collaborate with others will be one of the most important skill sets for this position: understanding and translating for colleagues with very different specialisms, from stakeholders with operational and strategic sway to technical IT and Development teams.
Experience in the General Insurance sector and the ability to work at a strategic level to help shape new ideas is very beneficial – you could be assigned to digital services, underwriting, pricing areas, etc. Any previous agile experience would be a benefit but is not essential. You’ll be attached to either our Croydon or Bournemouth office; sometimes working remotely but regularly coming into the office to collaborate with others.
