Senior Business Analyst

Senior Business Analyst, Lending UK | 3 days a week in the office | £75,000–£90,000 We are looking for a Senior Business Analyst to own requirements and functional delivery for lending software projects, from initial discovery through client acceptance. This is a hands-on senior position with real responsibility and a strong focus on commercial outcomes. The company develops configurable software for lenders and insurers. It is a founder-led tech scale-up, where decisions are made quickly, and your judgement is valued. The Lending team is expanding and needs a senior analyst to lead implementations from the first discovery call to client sign-off. You will lead discovery and scoping, question requests that increase costs without adding value, and write clear, testable specifications and user stories. You will also be hands-on, configuring fields and workflows, working with JSON and SQL as needed, and seeing work through testing and user acceptance. You will work closely with a Project Manager, who manages the plan and budget, while you focus on requirements and functional quality. You will also review and mentor junior analysts. What we're looking for

• Lending experience as a business analyst, in any area of lending, for example asset finance, SME or commercial lending, consumer credit or mortgages
• Business analysis experience on SaaS, workflow, CRM or operational software implementations
• Excellent requirements, process mapping and specification writing, with a record of getting formal sign-off
• Strong commercial judgement. You proactively challenge requests and understand how changes affect effort and cost.
• You are comfortable with configuration-led delivery, testing, and user acceptance. JSON experience is a plus, SQL is helpful, and a willingness to learn is essential.
• Confident leading client conversations independently What's on offer
• You will have real ownership of requirements and functional delivery.
• You will work directly with the product, not just on documentation.
• You will join a small team where senior input is valued, with opportunities to take on more leadership.
• The salary is £75,000 to £90,000, plus benefits. You must have the right to work in the UK and be available to work in the office three days a week. If you are interested, please click Apply or contact us to learn more.
