Job description

Who are we?

Howden is a collective – a group of talented and passionate people all around the world. Together, we have pushed the boundaries of insurance. We are united by a shared passion and no-limits mindset, and our strength lies in our ability to collaborate as a powerful international team comprised of 18,000 employees spanning over 100 countries.

People join Howden for many different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. It’s what sets us apart, and the reason our employees have been turning down headhunters for years. Whatever your priorities – work / life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering – you’ll find like‑minded people driving change at Howden.

What is the role?

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Business Process Analyst to help drive delivery of Finance System Integrations. This role is pivotal in bridging the gap between finance business operations and IT systems, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance of financial platforms. This role requires a proactive and strategic thinker who can translate business needs into the most efficient process and technical solution. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in finance and IT, with a passion for driving true business transformation through technology, automation and process optimisation.

Please note that this role will initially be structured as an 18‑month FTC. This is also a fully‑remote role that can be based anywhere in the UK.

What will you be doing?

• Analyze and optimise business processes to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
• Document existing processes, workflows and procedures.
• Participate in process mapping and modelling activities.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to develop and recommend process improvements.
• Conduct data analysis to support decision‑making and measure process performance.
• Prepare reports and presentations for stakeholders on process improvement initiatives.

What are we looking for?

• Previous BA experience in Finance Systems, Finance Transformation, and/or Systems implementation projects/programmes.
• Lucidchart, Visio, or other BPM documentation experience.
• Ability to challenge the status quo constructively, with standardisation (data/process) and addressing control/risks as key deliverables.
• Strong analytical skills and proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, PowerPoint).
• Lean / Six Sigma certification desirable, not essential.

What do we offer in return?

A career that you define. At Howden, we value diversity – there is no one Howden type. Instead, we’re looking for individuals who share the same values as us:

• Our successes have all come from someone brave enough to try something new.
• We support each other in the small everyday moments and the bigger challenges.
• We are determined to make a positive difference at work and beyond.

Reasonable adjustments

We’re committed to providing reasonable accommodations at Howden to ensure that our positions align well with your needs. Besides the usual adjustments such as software, IT, and office setups, we can also accommodate other changes such as flexible hours* or hybrid working*.

If you’re excited by this role but have some doubts about whether it’s the right fit for you, send us your application – if your profile fits the role’s criteria, we will be in touch to assist in helping to get you set up with any reasonable adjustments you may require.
