Role Purpose
The Data Aligned Business Analyst will bridge business
processes and data management, ensuring that critical data used across the
organisation is clearly defined, well captured, high quality, and fit for
purpose. The role focuses on
understanding business data needs, assessing data quality, identifying root
causes of issues, and driving improvements through governance, process change,
and stakeholder engagement.
This is not a deep technical engineering role — it is
a business-facing data quality/governance role requiring strong
communication, analytical thinking, and relationship building.
Key Responsibilities
1. Requirements & Data Understanding
· Understand critical data needs across the
business, especially for digitisation.
· Document data requirements and translate
business needs into clear, logical data specifications.
· Assess “as-is” vs “to-be” processes for data
capture and flow.
2. Data Quality & Governance
1. Conduct end-to-end data quality assessments across the full data lifecycle.
2. Perform root cause analysis to identify issues in data capture, processing, or systems.
3. Recommend preventative and remedial actions — including process changes, system changes, manual fixes, and governance controls.
3. Process & Stakeholder Facilitation
4. Run workshops with business stakeholders to understand data capture points and pain points.
5. Document business rules and ensure they are understood by technical and non‑technical teams.
6. Build relationships across the organisation and influence behaviours to improve data quality.
4. Specification & Design
7. Produce clear data specifications, business rules, logical designs, and documentation for implementation by engineering or analytics teams.
8. (Optional) Provide light prototyping or data exploration using SQL.
5. Metadata & Master Data Management (MDM)
9. Support MDM efforts across client, product, market, and related domains.
10. Assist in documenting metadata, definitions, and data standards.
11. Help build a structured approach to metadata/catalogue management in partnership with US counterparts.
6. Reporting & Controls
12. Help define data quality KPIs, metrics, and dashboards (design/spec – not deep build).
13. Contribute to governance standards and data control frameworks.
Essential Skills & Experience
14. 5+ years in data governance, data quality, data management, or a closely related data-focused role.
15. Strong understanding of data lifecycle concepts and data quality methodologies.
16. Ability to translate technical issues into business language.
17. Strong verbal and written communication — able to influence senior leaders and non‑technical stakeholders.
18. Workshop facilitation and process mapping Experience.
19. Experience documenting business rules, data requirements, and logical data designs.
20. Working knowledge of SQL for exploratory analysis (not deep engineering).
21. Experience in insurance or financial services is highly desirable given complexity and domain-specific nuances.
Desirable Attributes
22. Strong relationship builder; able to make allies across business functions.
23. Comfortable working in ambiguity and shaping new governance processes.
24. Analytical but words driven, able to articulate impact and cost of poor data.
25. Experience with MDM, metadata management, and data catalogues.
Contract & Working Pattern
26. 12‑month contract, aiming to start within 3 weeks.
27. Hybrid working: in the London office (flexible based on workshops and project needs).
28. Expected to “hit the ground running” with minimal onboarding time on insurance domain knowledge.
