Graduate Business Analyst Job Birmingham area,England UK,Finance & Banking

An exceptional opportunity for a junior Graduate Business Analyst to shape the future of Financial Services in Birmingham.

Financial services firms are under constant pressure to modernise how they process data, assess risk and serve customers, and a lean, fast-moving startup in this space needs sharp analytical minds to keep pace. This is a young company building tools for the sector, not a legacy institution set in its ways. You'll join at a point where decisions get made quickly and the impact of your work shows up within weeks, not years.

Here’s

what you’ll be doing:

Gather and translate business requirements from stakeholders across the Financial Services team into clear, actionable specifications
Analyse operational data to spot trends, flag risks and recommend improvements to existing processes
Build and maintain reports and dashboards that leadership actually uses to make decisions
Support the rollout of new systems and processes, testing changes before they go live
Work directly with product, engineering and compliance teams to make sure nothing falls through the cracks
Document processes and workflows so the wider team can move fast without losing track of what's changed

Here are the skills you’ll need:

A degree in business, finance, economics, maths or a related discipline
Strong Excel skills as a minimum, with an interest in learning SQL or data visualisation tools
Sharp analytical thinking. You'll need to spot the pattern others miss
Confident communication, written and verbal, since you'll present findings to people more senior than you
A genuine curiosity about how Financial Services works, from regulation to customer behaviour
Comfort with ambiguity. Startups don't hand you a manual

Key perks and benefits:

Salary of £23,500 to £31,500, depending on experience
Equity in a growing company, not just a payslip
Flexible working hours around a core office day in Birmingham
A dedicated learning and development budget to build your skills
Office-based role with a flat structure, so your ideas reach decision-makers fast

Why pursue a career in Financial Services?

Birmingham has become a genuine hub for this kind of work, with a growing cluster of finance and fintech employers outside London. Start as a Graduate Business Analyst here and the ceiling is high, from product to strategy to leadership roles within a few years.
