Job description

Banks across the UK are modernizing their mortgage technology, but moving away from complex legacy systems is rarely straightforward.

As a Business Analyst - Origination at Ohpen, you’ll help prospective clients understand what that transformation could look like with our cloud-based Lending Platform. Combining your knowledge of the UK mortgage market with a strong understanding of technology, you’ll explore client challenges and demonstrate how Ohpen can solve them.

Briefing

You’ll work closely with prospective UK clients, getting to know their mortgage products, processes, technology landscape and ambitions. From there, you’ll identify how the capabilities of the Ohpen Platform can best support what they want to achieve.

A key part of your role will be turning those conversations into something tangible. You’ll prepare and lead client workshops, deep dives and tailored platform demonstrations, adapting your approach to the specific needs of each prospect.

You’ll also play an important role in RFI and RFP processes, bringing together the right knowledge from across Ohpen to provide clear and detailed responses. This means collaborating closely with our Product, Engineering and Configuration Implementation teams and being comfortable moving between functional and technical conversations.

Not every client challenge will have an obvious answer. Sometimes you’ll need to explore new possibilities, challenge existing thinking, and help shape solutions that we haven’t delivered before.

Your goal is to give prospective clients a clear understanding of what the Ohpen Platform can do, how it fits into their technology landscape, and how it can help them achieve their objectives.

About You

• You have a strong understanding of the UK mortgage landscape, its products, processes and the challenges lenders face, ideally with hands-on experience delivering projects in this area; (hard requirement)
• You have at least 4 years of experience in a Business Analyst or similar role within a B2B environment;
• You’re energetic and engaging, with a natural flair for presenting and the confidence to lead workshops;
• You have a strong technical aptitude and are comfortable exploring areas such as API flows and IT architecture;
• You are adaptable and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly;
• You are comfortable travelling to clients across the UK and joining the team for monthly meetings in our London office.
