We’re working with our client on a major global data transformation programme and they’re looking to bring in two Senior Business Analysts to support a large-scale Delegated Authority harmonisation initiative.

This programme sits right at the centre of how data is standardised, governed, and consumed across the organisation’s global insurance operations. It’s a complex, data-heavy environment with multiple stakeholders, external partners, and large volumes of transactional information moving across systems.

If you enjoy untangling complex data structures, shaping how information flows across a business, and working closely with architects, governance teams, and senior stakeholders, this will be a genuinely interesting programme to get stuck into.

A big part of the role involves collaborating with both internal teams and external partners (including MGAs and TPAs) to ensure data can be consistently captured and integrated across the wider ecosystem.

Strong experience analysing large, complex datasets (policy, premium, exposure, claims, financial movements etc.)
Proven ability performing source-to-target mapping and business data definition
Experience defining data quality rules, validation frameworks, or governance standards
Comfortable running workshops and engaging senior stakeholders
Experience working with external partners or third-party data providers

Nice to have (at least one fo these ideally)

Delegated Authority or bordereaux data environments
