Who are we?

We’re Standard Life, a retirement specialist focused entirely on retirement savings and income. We champion the belief that everyone’s journey to and through retirement can be better, and for more than 200 years, we’ve been helping our customers plan and prepare for their financial futures.

Life today is increasingly complicated, uncertain and unpredictable. People move through different careers, face unexpected moments and navigate important choices. We offer our colleagues flexibility, trust and benefits that work for whatever life brings. In return we expect curiosity, connection, accountability and high standards. We make room for what matters - so you can bring your best, every day.

The role

The Migration Business Analysis team plays a key role in delivering Standard Life’s ambitions, supporting change in an exciting and dynamic environment to innovate, improve customer experiences and help provide better financial futures. As part of the team, you will also have plenty of opportunities to support your own personal development along the way.

You will provide a comprehensive range of business analysis services to support our TTP3 Migration, bringing clarity to complex situations and using appropriate analysis techniques to define, agree, and document scope and requirements. You will produce a range of analysis artefacts, manage changes to scope and requirements, and ensure traceability throughout the lifecycle of your projects.

What are we looking for?

• Proven Business Analyst experience within large-scale customer, policy or platform migration and transformation programmes, assessing impacts across data, processes, people, technology and operating models.
• Strong requirements management experience across the full change lifecycle, from discovery and elicitation through design, testing, implementation and business readiness, including scope, traceability and change control.
• Experience producing clear, high-quality Business Analysis artefacts, including business requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria, process maps, customer journeys, impact assessments, traceability matrices, business rules and data requirements.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, using techniques such as process modelling, stakeholder analysis, root-cause analysis and impact assessment to turn complex issues into pragmatic recommendations.
• Excellent stakeholder management, facilitation and communication skills, with experience leading workshops, building consensus, constructively challenging decisions and translating complex business and technical information for different audiences.
• Ability to deliver effectively in a complex, regulated environment, managing competing priorities and dependencies across business, technology, suppliers and outsourced delivery partners; knowledge of financial services products or policy administration and a relevant Business Analysis qualification would be beneficial.

We want to hire the whole version of you.

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.
