Business Analyst

We're partnering with a leading Life Insurance organization expanding its team to support a major Disability and Absence portal transformation. This is a chance to play a key role in delivering a new customer and claimant portal experience, working closely across Product, Engineering, UX, and Claims. The immediate priority is rapidly delivering an MVP portal for Disability, covering both the Claimant and Customer experience, with the roadmap set to expand into the broader Absence experience across the full product portfolio and integration with the FINEOS Claims platform. It's a fast-moving environment with a tight delivery timeline, so you'll need to be comfortable operating with pace and through ambiguity. The Opportunity As a Business Analyst, you'll focus heavily on the front-end customer experience and requirements, working closely with Product Owners to gather and define requirements and translate user and business needs into clear, actionable deliverables for the team. You'll need to be proactive and comfortable driving clarity independently, particularly in areas where clear SMEs aren't always available, while working closely with UX to ensure requirements translate into an effective, intuitive customer experience. The role calls for a reasonable level of technical understanding, though the primary focus is on user experience, customer journeys, and requirements rather than deep technical solution design.
