Company Description

Helping over ten million people around the world manage their savings, retirement plans and life insurance requires a lot of people behind-the-scenes.  It’s up to us in L&G Group functions – which includes our tech and digital teams, Group Finance, HR, Risk and Corporate Comms to provide the essential support services that all areas of the business need, here in the UK and overseas. Simply put, we enable everyone at Legal & General to do what they do best. That means we’re helping to improve our customers’ lives, and contributing to the success of the business every day.


Job Description

This is an exciting opportunity for a Business Analyst to join our innovative Discovery & Automation function here at L&G.

We are a highly motivated team delivering excellence in everything we do – from working on change transformation projects and large programmes – to robotic process automation and artificial intelligence – to discovering and re-engineering our business to drive better decisions, ideas, and outcomes. 

You will help us to deliver quality analysis, automation, and transformation services to our internal customers - Group Functions (HR, Brand, Tax, IT, Treasury Risk & Compliance) and Group Finance, whilst working collaboratively with global external partners and suppliers.  This will be delivered as part of a partnership we have with a big 4 accounting & consulting firm.  This means that you will benefit from working with both L&G business leaders and experts as well as senior consulting resources who will help to upskill you in transformational best practices and thinking.  

Our work environment naturally has significant variety where no two days are the same and there is a supportive, inclusive, training focussed environment that fosters curiosity and innovation.   So, if you like variety, self-development, and innovation – then a career within Discovery & Automation is for you.


Qualifications

  • Extensive understanding of Business Analysis techniques such as; Enterprise Analysis, Business Analysis Planning & Monitoring, Requirements Analysis, Elicitation, Requirements Management & Communication, Solution Assessment & Validation
  • Extensive understanding of Business Analysis techniques
  • Extensive understanding of Business Process Modelling
  • Extensive experience working in a continuous improvement environment
  • Able to confidently lead and set activities/workload for other Business Analysts within a project
  • BCS Business Analysis certifications, including the BCS International Business Analysis Diploma are desirable

Additional Information

When you commit to Legal & General, we’ll commit to you too. That means we’ll recognise and reward your hard work, your performance and your contribution.

If you join us, you’ll get access to some great benefits, including private medical insurance, at least 25 days holiday (excluding bank holidays), a generous pension scheme, life assurance, and Income Protection. You can participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice. We’re also proud to offer competitive family leave. 

You’ll have the opportunity to participate in our annual, performance-related bonus plan and valuable share schemes. And then there are the many discounts we offer that you can take advantage of – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online offerings. 

Great news! We will let you know when a new job like this has been added!
