Full Job Description

This is not a typical Business Analyst role. You'll own discovery and analysis for an evolving digital product - working closely with senior stakeholders to define problems, bring structure to ambiguity, and ensure every piece of work is grounded in clear business value before it enters delivery. Partnering closely with the Principal Product Manager, you'll operate with a high degree of autonomy, bridging business needs and technical delivery while helping shape the product as it matures. As the product develops, you'll gain increasing exposure to product ownership - offering a clear pathway into a more product-led career. What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead discovery and analysis to define business problems, outcomes and success criteria
  • Engage senior stakeholders to understand processes, challenges and opportunities
  • Own and shape high-quality, outcome-focused requirements for delivery

  • Act as a key interface between business stakeholders and offshore engineering teams

  • Work at the intersection of business, data and technology
  • Gain exposure to product ownership and strategy
  • Be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking D&T function driving real business impact
