Business Analyst

We have an exciting opportunity for a highly experienced Business Analyst to join the Pensions & Savings Change team. As part of this high-profile strategic transformation programme, you will work across multiple business areas, programmes and third-party suppliers to shape and challenge business thinking, define and manage requirements, assess business impacts, and ensure solutions deliver the intended business and strategic outcomes. 

Operating within a complex and evolving environment, you will apply a range of analysis techniques to bring clarity to ambiguity, support informed decision-making, and drive successful delivery across multiple workstreams. Working with a high degree of autonomy, you will build strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels, influence key decisions through insight-led analysis, and help drive consensus across diverse business and technology teams.

You will be responsible for defining and managing scope, eliciting and analysing requirements, assessing impacts across people, processes, systems and operating models, and maintaining clear traceability throughout the delivery lifecycle. The role will also play a key part in supporting solution development, testing, business readiness, implementation and transition into business-as-usual operations, ensuring change is effectively embedded and delivers lasting business value.

Given the scale, complexity and strategic importance of Project Skye, this opportunity is best suited to a highly capable Business Analyst with a proven track record of delivering within large-scale business and operational transformation programmes and who is comfortable navigating complexity, ambiguity and competing priorities

• Demonstrable experience delivering business analysis within large-scale integration, migration or business transformation programmes.
• Diploma in Business Analysis or equivalent (e.g. BCS Diploma, IIBA Certifications) 
• Knowledge across Standard Life products, processes, and systems 
• Experience of regulatory change and working with third parties would be beneficial 

We are committed to ensuring that everyone feels accepted and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If your experience looks different from what we’ve advertised and you believe that you can bring value to the role, we’d love to hear from you. 

 If you require any adjustments to the recruitment process, please let us know so we can help you to be at your best.
