A high-growth, technology-driven specialty insurer is looking to hire a Business Analyst into its Financial Operations (FinOps) team, supporting a rapidly expanding international platform across the UK, Europe, and US.
This is a broad, hybrid BA role sitting at the intersection of finance, operations, data, and technology, with a strong focus on supporting core FinOps systems, data pipelines, and global product delivery. You will play a key role in gathering international business requirements, supporting system and data processes, and driving improvements across financial operations platforms, working closely with stakeholders across multiple regions and functions.
The role combines classic Business Analysis responsibilities with hands-on technical exposure, including SQL querying, data validation, and supporting data pipelines (e.g. bordereaux ingestion, ETL/ELT processes). You'll also be involved in UAT, process documentation, and supporting product rollouts and change initiatives globally.
Key responsibilities include:
- Requirements gathering, stakeholder engagement, and translating business needs into technical solutions
- Supporting FinOps systems and troubleshooting data and platform issues
- Working with financial and operational data (premium, claims, bordereaux)
- Writing SQL queries for data analysis, validation, and reporting
- Supporting data pipelines, ingestion processes, and system enhancements
- Contributing to product delivery, UAT, and continuous improvement initiatives
- Acting as a key link between international business teams and technical functions
Ideal profile:
- 2–5 years' experience as a Business Analyst within insurance or financial services
- Exposure to finance / operations data and processes
- Strong SQL and data analysis capability
- Experience working with data pipelines / ETL processes
- Comfortable operating in a product-led, fast-paced, international environment
This is an excellent opportunity to join a modern, data-centric insurer, offering strong exposure to global operations, cutting-edge systems, and end-to-end product delivery, alongside a highly collaborative and agile culture.
