This is an excellent opportunity for a Business Analyst who combines strong stakeholder engagement and requirements gathering expertise with deep London Market insurance knowledge, particularly across underwriting operations and insurance data flows.

You'll play a key role in delivering business and technology change initiatives, working closely with underwriting teams, operations, product owners, data specialists, and senior business stakeholders.

• Work closely with underwriting, broking and operational teams to understand current-state processes and define future-state solutions.
• Facilitate workshops with business and technical stakeholders.
• Document business requirements, process maps, user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Analyse and document end-to-end business processes and data flows.
• Support solution design by ensuring business requirements are clearly understood and translated into deliverable outcomes.
• Identify opportunities for process improvement, efficiency gains and enhanced data quality.
• Act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.

Required Experience

We are seeking a proven Business Analyst with significant London Market insurance experience, ideally gained through work with brokers, insurers, Lloyd's syndicates or London Market consulting engagements.

• Data lineage and traceability
• End-to-end data flows
• Data mapping and transformation requirements
• Data quality and governance considerations
• Identifying upstream and downstream data impacts
• Working with data teams and architects

Please note:
