Job description

IT Business Analyst (Banking / Financial Services)

Immediately start

Eindhoven / Working from home (hybrid)

Are you a business analyst who loves turning complex processes into working solutions? Join a leading financial services organisation, where you help turn business needs into clear processes, validated prototypes, and a prioritised delivery backlog.

You’ll work in close, continuous iteration with the Solution Architect: mapping and challenging how the business works today and tomorrow, and quickly testing solution ideas in prototypes. The outcome is an MVP-ready backlog that carries into implementation with the delivery team.

What you’ll do

• Run workshops and interviews with business stakeholders to capture and model as-is and to-be processes
• Identify pain points, manual steps, handovers, data needs, and control points, and make assumptions and dependencies explicit
• Translate regulatory and policy requirements (e.g. KYC/AML, GDPR, DORA, audit and control) into process and system requirements
• Work in short iteration cycles with the Solution Architect: map, prototype, validate with the business, refine, including user flows, wireframes, fit-gap, and technical constraints
• Run demos and feedback sessions with stakeholders and turn their input into requirements and decisions
• Convert validated processes and prototypes into epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria (Given/When/Then), and prioritise the MVP scope with the Product Owner towards the April release
• Act as the bridge between business and delivery team: support refinement, sprint planning, test preparation, UAT, and acceptance, and manage change requests, risks, and decisions
• Process modelling
• Jira / Azure DevOps and Confluence
• Prototyping and design tools (e.g. Figma)
• APIs, integration patterns, data models, and cloud platforms (basic technical literacy)

This is you

• 5+ years of experience as a Business Analyst or Functional Consultant in banking, financial services, or insurance
• Proven track record of taking projects from process analysis through to a delivered backlog and implementation
• Hands-on experience in agile delivery (Scrum/SAFe) and in a mixed client/vendor team
• Strong process modelling (BPMN) and requirements engineering skills (user stories, acceptance criteria)
• Good understanding of banking domains (e.g. onboarding, lending or leasing, payments, CRM, customer servicing) and of the regulatory context
• Pragmatic and fast: you prefer a testable prototype over a long document, and you can simplify complex topics for senior stakeholders
• Collaborative: you work as a pair with the architect and challenge constructively
• Fluent in English; Dutch is a plus
