Senior Technical Business Analyst
Northampton
As a Barclays Senior Technical Business Analyst, you will join our innovative team focused on data democratization and the development of a cutting-edge Data Marketplace. You will play a crucial role in defining end-to-end user journeys, gathering requirements, and driving the implementation of solutions that enable access to data and insights across the organization.
Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, established in 1690, with a legacy of success, quality, and innovation. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.
At Barclays, we offer a hybrid working experience that blends the positives of working alongside colleagues at our onsite locations, together with working from home. We have a structured approach where colleagues work at an onsite location on fixed, ‘anchor’, days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week or more, as set by the business area (or nearest equivalent if working part-time hours). Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.
What will you be doing?
• Defining end-to-end user journeys and workflows for data democratization initiatives, ensuring a seamless and intuitive user experience across the Data Marketplace platform
• Collaborating with data engineers, developers to gather and analyze requirements, identify business needs, and translate them into actionable insights and user stories
• Conducting stakeholder interviews, workshops, and requirement gathering sessions to elicit and prioritize requirements, validate assumptions, and define project scope
• Developing and maintaining comprehensive documentation, including business requirements, functional specifications, use cases, process flows, and user stories
• Working with data engineers/architects to understand sources, structures, integration points, to ensure alignment between business requirements and technical solutions
• Collaborating with UX/UI designers to create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes that visualize user journeys and facilitate user testing and feedback
• Driving and supporting Agile development processes, including sprint planning, backlog grooming, and sprint reviews, to ensure timely delivery of high-quality solutions
• Conducting user acceptance testing (UAT) and facilitate user training and adoption to ensure successful implementation and deployment of data democratization initiatives
What we’re looking for:
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business Administration, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field
• Proven experience as a Business Analyst or similar role, with a focus on data-driven projects, data democratization, or data marketplace initiatives
• Extensive understanding of data management concepts, data governance principles, and data access and security requirements
• Experience defining end-to-end user journeys, workflows, and business processes, and translating business requirements into actionable technical specifications
Skills that will help you in the role:
• Proficiency in Agile methodologies and tools, such as Scrum, Kanban, JIRA, or similar
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze complex data sets, identify patterns, trends, and insights, and derive actionable recommendations
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively engage and collaborate with stakeholders at all levels of the organization
• Extensive organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, deliverables, and deadlines in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
