QBE Europe is looking for a Senior IT Business Analyst to join a well-established Transformation and technology company. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to make a significant impact in a leading insurance company. You will have the chance to work with a talented and collaborative team, and your contributions will directly influence the success of our modernisation initiatives.

Understanding the business needs and desired outcomes remains of upmost importance and will be key to the next phases of our growth.

The Business Analyst’s role is to ensure that high value is delivered in the most efficient way to the customer. The BA will have the ability to problem solve and implement new ideas whilst inspiring creativity with the teams you work with. You may specialize in process, data, business, or systems analysis and will be required to use one or a combination of those skills to identify gaps in business procedures, gather both high level and detailed requirements and where appropriate define or redesign processes, methods of working with business applications, workflow or other related business tools as may be necessary.

Having the right to work in the UK is a requirement for this role. QBE may consider sponsorship at its discretion.

At QBE, we get to the heart of what matters for our customers. And we do it all with a human touch.

We’re an international insurer with more than 13,000 people working across 26 countries–which means we’re big enough for your ambitions, yet small enough for you to make a real impact. It’s an exciting time. We’re building momentum towards our vision to become the most consistent and innovative risk partner.

What if you could have a positive impact – at work and in the world? As part of the QBE team, you’ll get to spend every day working with people who are passionate, talented and kind.
