Job description

Description

Are you a skilled Senior Data Business Analyst looking to make a significant impact within a leading health organisation? AXA Health is seeking a talented professional to join our Analytics Product Team on a 12-month FTC. You'll work across the organisation to capture and understand data requirements, supporting the development of innovative data products and solutions to meet increasing business demands. Operating within an agile environment, you'll be embedded within a dynamic squad alongside Product Leads, Data Modellers, Product Engineers, Visualisation Developers, and specialists in Data Quality, Governance, Metadata and Lineage, as well as Subject Matter Experts.

At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You\'ll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. We\'re also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.

What you\'ll be doing

• Meet with Business Leaders to understand their data needs, define problems, and explain how data solutions can help, assisting in the creation of new data products aligned with company goals.
• Collect detailed information about data needs, including data types, sources, and quality requirements, and document current and future data sources to ensure accurate data models.
• Prepare and review documents that prioritise data initiatives, get approval, and involve stakeholders to support decision-making and resource planning.
• Check data within the platform to confirm assumptions, find gaps, and discover new data sources, ensuring data quality and accuracy.
• Work daily with stakeholders and technical teams to design, build, test, and deploy data products, including user acceptance testing.
• Ensure data products meet stakeholder needs, are properly tested, and follow security and privacy standards by working with internal governance and security teams.
• Support and guide junior analysts, participate in data community groups, and help the lead in delivering initiatives.
• Estimate costs, timelines, and resources for projects, prepare approval documents, and assist after launch to keep delivering value.
• Due to the number of applications we expect to receive for this role, we reserve the right to close this advert earlier than the listed closing date to ensure we\'re able to effectively manage interest. Therefore, if you\'re interested in joining us at AXA, please don\'t hesitate to apply.

What you\'ll bring

• Previous experience as a Business Analyst, with proven expertise in developing health and financial data and analytics products.
• Demonstrable experience using the Azure Data Platform, including familiarity with Databricks.
• Adept at mentoring and supporting junior team members and promotion of best practices.
• Experience working within an Agile environment and using Azure Dev Ops.
• Ability to write clear, stakeholder focussed stories as well as detailed requirements including any calculation definitions, KPIs and acceptance criteria.
• Skilled in documenting data landscapes, including data flows, sources, and identifying gaps through analysis.
• Confident in running workshops, managing stakeholders, and communicating effectively with teams.
• Understanding of data security, privacy, and compliance standards.
• Internal candidates are encouraged to apply for this role as a secondment opportunity through the internal careers site.

As a precondition of employment for this role, you must be eligible and authorised to work in the United Kingdom.
