Do you have a proven track record in ensuring business outcomes are articulated and understood? Are you keen and interested in developing people in business analytics functions?

The team/ department

Our Change Directorate is at the forefront of our ambition to transform the FCA into a data-led regulator, and our work enables the FCA to effectively regulate some of the UK’s most complex financial markets.

Within the Change Directorate, our Departmental Change Teams (DCT) work closely with business areas to deliver business change activities in support of technology, regulation, process and behavioural changes. DCTs are made up of key change disciplines such as business change, project management and business analysis.

The Business Analyst sits within one of the three DCTs. 10% of the role holder’s time is allocated to people management for a small number of direct reports. The remaining time is dedicated to delivery of business analysis on projects, particularly high risk or high reputation projects, and developing the Business Analysis (BA) Community of Practice (CoP). The role holder will have a strong delivery track record, be adept at ensuring business outcomes are articulated and understood and will have a keen interest in developing people and the BA practice.
