Job description

Job Description:

DeepLight AI is a specialist AI and data consultancy with extensive experience implementing intelligent enterprise systems across multiple industries, with particular depth in financial services and banking. Our team combines deep expertise in data science, statistical modeling, AI/ML technologies, workflow automation, and systems integration with a practical understanding of complex business operations.

The Business Analyst acts as the critical bridge between business objectives and technical AI execution. This role is responsible for driving the successful delivery of AI-powered solutions by translating complex business needs into actionable technical requirements and system specifications. You will ensure that every AI initiative is aligned with ethical, regulatory, and performance standards while supporting the end-to-end lifecycle—from initial elicitation and feasibility testing with Data Scientists to User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and change management. Your goal is to ensure AI tools are not only technically sound but also practically integrated into banking workflows to drive measurable business value.

Your responsibilities as the Business Analyst include:

• Facilitation of workshops and interviews to gather and document business requirements, translating them into clear AI specifications for data inputs and model outputs.


• Partnering with Data Scientists and ML Engineers to validate the feasibility of AI use cases and ensure alignment with strategic business goals.


• Defining AI-specific test strategies, including model validation, bias detection, and performance benchmarking to ensure accuracy and fairness.


• Developing tailored training materials and user manuals to help staff understand AI confidence scores, outputs, and system limitations.


• Identifying high-impact opportunities for AI-driven automation and predictive analytics within existing banking processes.


• Acting as an \"analytics translator,\" communicating complex requirements between business units and IT while ensuring traceability throughout the project lifecycle.

As an AI consultancy, our greatest asset is the expertise of our people.

While technical mastery is the foundation of what we do, the ability to bridge the gap between complex data science and actionable business value is what defines your success with Deeplight.

Were looking for individuals who are not only world-class in their fields of specialism, but also compelling communicators and persuasive advocates for their own skills.

You will be the face of our firm, tasked with building trust, articulating the \"why\" behind your technical decisions, and effectively \"selling\" your vision to high-level stakeholders.

If you thrive on the challenge of presenting cutting-edge solutions as much as you do on building them, you will fit right in.

What we need you to have:

• A Bachelor’s Degree in Computing, Engineering, Commerce, or Business Administration.


• A minimum of 5 years of experience in professional business analysis.


• A proven track record of supporting AI/ML project lifecycles, specifically in requirement documentation and UAT support.


• Experience navigating regulatory compliance and data governance within a financial services environment.


• Proven ability to convert vague business needs into precise technical metrics and performance benchmarks for AI systems.


• Experience in model validation techniques and a strong understanding of how to detect anomalies or bias in AI behavior.


• Expertise in maintaining detailed audit trails, versioning, and decision logic documentation for AI models.


• Deep understanding of data privacy regulations, ethical AI principles, and internal governance frameworks.


• Skilled in analyzing complex workflows to find automation \"hotspots\" suitable for AI intervention.


• Strong experience in stakeholder management and excellent presentation and communication skills.

What wed like you to have:

• Proven ability to explain \"black box\" AI concepts to non-technical users in a way that builds trust and promotes responsible usage.


• Familiarity with improving business analysis processes to support rapid, iterative AI development cycles.


• Ability to uncover \"hidden\" business needs that stakeholders may not yet realize can be solved by AI.


• A proactive mindset regarding the monitoring of AI model behavior for ethical concerns or performance drift.

Benefits & Growth Opportunities:

• Competitive salary.


• Visa Sponsorship for the successful individual.


• Comprehensive health insurance for the successful individual.


• Professional development and certification support.


• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects.


• Career advancement opportunities in a rapidly growing AI company.

This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of AI implementation while working with a talented team of professionals at the forefront of technological innovation. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in driving our companys success in delivering transformative AI solutions to our clients.

At DeepLight AI, we recognise that diversity drives innovation. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where individuals with different thinking styles can thrive and contribute their unique strengths to our specialised AI and data solutions.

Our goal is to ensure our application and interview process is accessible, predictable, and fair for all candidates.
