Business Analyst/Senior Business Analyst - Secondment - Allianz - Bournemouth

Job description

Role Description

In an exciting time of change at Allianz Personal, where collaboration is key! As a Business Analyst/Senior Business Analyst, you will be an integral part of this evolution, keeping our customer-centric approach and putting the heart back into insurance as we develop out new propositions from idea through to customer launch.

Working in an agile environment, you will be bringing energy to our strategies on key change for the business. This is a dynamic and fast-moving place to work, and with so many moving parts, you will need to be engaging, persuasive and the glue that holds different teams together.

A hands-on approach is needed as in this role you will be the bridge between the business functions and technical teams, working with stakeholders to ensure we achieve our vison. .

Salary Information

Business Analyst: Circa £46,000

Senior Business Analyst: Circa £60,000

Pay is based on relevant experience, skills for the role, and location. Salary is only one part of our total reward package.

About You

You’re a Business Analyst who is looking to make a difference and exact real change who is used to taking a loose brief and shaping this into what’s required for the Business. You’ll want a role where you can work collaboratively, but with a lot of autonomy too – supported by others in your team but trusted to do your job well and be given the flexibility to manage your time to get the job done.

As an analyst with industry experience, you will be building your track record of taking strategic vision through to realisation. You’re naturally curious, insightful and get to the bottom of problems that your stakeholders haven’t even thought of yet!

Your ability to communicate and collaborate with others will be one of the most important skillset you have for this position: understanding and translating for colleagues with very different specialisms associated within their fields; from stakeholders with operational and strategic sway, to the more technical IT and Development teams

Experience in the General Insurance sector and an ability to work at a strategic level to help shape up new ideas would be very beneficial – we have a wide range of areas you could be assigned to – from our digital services for our main home, motor or pet insurance products, direct or via our Brokers – right through to our underwriting and pricing areas that underpin everything we do.

Any previous agile experience would be a benefit but is not essential – an open, collaborative mind-set is what we need from you.

You’ll be attached to either our Croydon or Bournemouth office; sometimes working remotely but regularly coming into the office to collaborate with others.
