The role will likely be visible to, and involve working with, all levels of the business - from Partners to frontline operational teams.

The roles are varied and extend beyond the fundamentals of the core BA - into guidance and helping the business in ownership of delivery. As a result, the team may often work with the business and product owners to challenge, highlight, and determine key decisions - and so are key to the success and final outcomes of a project.

• Enable and adopt effective risk management and governance frameworks.
• Offer technical advice and support to colleagues and external stakeholders.
• Use data and MI to strengthen decision making outcomes.
• Develop knowledge of Isio services, brand and opportunities to present and advocate.
• Ensuring processes are embedded into BAU Administration and completing post project analysis to confirm acceptance and provide lessons learned.

What we're looking for

Essential

• Knowledge and experience of working with UK Defined Benefit Pensions in an administration environment.
• Experience of developing pensions administration processes
• Knowledge of non-BAU opportunities within the pensions industry.
• Previous experience in a Business Analyst role.
• Track record of solutions implementation and transformation.
• Pragmatic, with a keen eye for detail.
• Collaborative, transparent and inclusive values.
• Dynamic and organised, to enable effective decision making and prioritisation.
• Positive role model to colleagues and stakeholders.
• People who are driven by Isio's purpose and values and a culture of continuous improvement, change and growth.

Desirable

• Experience delivering projects of various size and types as a business analyst.
• Comfortable with managing stakeholders of all kinds to influence and determine acceptable solutions.
• Experience creating detailed reports and giving presentations.
• Experience in both Waterfall and Agile methodologies.
• Presentation skills that demonstrate the ability to communicate across various mediums to both technical and non-technical audiences at all levels.

What you can expect in return

• A competitive salary and market leading bonus scheme with stretch targets for high performance
