Business Analyst — Data

Description

The role of Business Analyst – Data forms a critical part of the delivery team for the development and improvement of With Intelligence data workflows.

They will analyse, document, and summarise existing workflows, systems, and data capture/processing capabilities. They will work closely with end users and stakeholders within the Data Teams to reflect how the business operates today and what the target state is.

Working within a matrix operating model across Data, Technology, and Product, their focus is to prepare and support requirements in the backlogs of our Data Capture, Data Automation, and Data Enrichment Development Squads.

They will be part of the newly formed Data Management Team, reporting into the Head of Data but working closely with other key stakeholders, and supporting the backlog management tasks undertaken by the Product Owners.

As improving data workflows is at the heart of the role, a potent blend of core business analyst skills, along with an excellent grasp of data processing and management, is integral to succeeding in this role.

As such this role could be a good opportunity for someone looking to move from data operations into a data management or product management role.

Alternatively, suitable candidates would have prior BA experience working in a data operations business.
