Help shape the future of data-driven decision making

At Tesco Insurance & Money Services, we're looking for a Business Analyst to join our team and play a key role in delivering data-led change across our insurance products, including Motor and Home Insurance.

Working closely with business stakeholders and specialist data teams, you'll be responsible for understanding business needs, defining requirements and ensuring that data solutions are aligned to business objectives. This role sits at the intersection of business and data, acting as the bridge between stakeholders and the teams responsible for delivering reporting, analytics and data capabilities.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Business Analyst who enjoys stakeholder engagement, requirements gathering and translating business needs into clear, actionable outcomes.

The Role

As a Business Analyst, you'll partner with teams across the business to understand new initiatives, product changes, regulatory requirements and improvement opportunities. You'll gather and analyse requirements, assess impacts and work closely with Data Engineering, Reporting and Analytics teams to ensure successful delivery.

While this isn't a technical data role, you'll need to be comfortable facilitating conversations with data teams and translating business requirements into requirements that can be delivered by technical specialists.

Key Responsibilities

• Engage with business stakeholders to understand objectives, challenges and opportunities.
• Facilitate workshops, discovery sessions and requirements gathering activities.
• Gather, document and manage business and functional requirements.
• Translate business requirements into clear and actionable requirements for Data Engineering, Reporting and Analytics teams.
• Act as the primary link between business stakeholders and technical data teams.
• Analyse existing processes and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Create process maps, user stories and business requirements documentation.
• Support the assessment of risks, impacts, dependencies and delivery considerations.
• Work collaboratively with data teams throughout the solution lifecycle to clarify requirements and support successful delivery.
• Support testing and implementation activities to ensure delivered solutions meet business needs.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across products, processes and systems.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience working as a Business Analyst within a complex organisation.
• Strong experience gathering, documenting and managing business requirements.
• Experience working alongside Data Engineering, BI, MI, Reporting, Analytics or Data teams.
• Ability to facilitate discussions between business stakeholders and technical teams.
• Strong workshop facilitation and stakeholder management skills.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to adapt your approach for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
• Experience supporting business change, transformation or technology initiatives.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Desirable Experience

• Experience within Insurance, Financial Services or another regulated industry.
• Exposure to Motor, Home or General Insurance products.
• Experience supporting data-led change or transformation programmes.
• Understanding of data governance, reporting or data management principles.
• Experience working within Agile environments.
