Your role
We may be part of a large banking Group, but we’re a small, tight-knit bank with a focused business model and a young team. For our Mortgage Feature team, we are looking for a Business Analyst with proven experience in delivering changes. As a Business Analyst you will gather and validate business needs on the Mortgage product and translate them into documented requirements for implementation.
Do you like to be in close cooperation with the business, suppliers and other stakeholders? Would you like to carry out impact assessments and perform process analysis to define and deliver solutions? Do read further!
A day in the life of a Business Analyst
After your morning coffee you sit with the team and discuss latest progress on the ongoing activities, exchanging insights and challenges. You facilitate a workshop with key stakeholders where you identify their needs and translate them into requirements.
You grab lunch with a group of colleagues from another team, where you learn about the latest developments from another product that may affect the way our processes and systems are used as well as their performance – something to bear in mind and discuss with the key stakeholders?
After lunch you get in touch with a colleague from the Legal and Compliance department you work with regularly on project governance, facing the challenge of integrating Compliancy requirements with the specifics of the local business. You then integrate the outcome in the solution document and analyze the impact and address this with relevant stakeholders.
Towards the end of your workday, you have your weekly 1-1 session with the Product Owner, where you discuss the results as well as new challenges which might lead into new or adjusted epics.
Which team will you be joining?
