The Opportunity
Within EBS, we’re looking for a Business Analyst to support the delivery of data pipelines into our enterprise data lake, working closely with data engineers and project stakeholders. This role focuses on gathering and refining data requirements for new IT initiatives and industry-driven changes. The analyst will assess the impact of changes on existing data assets, ensure alignment with business needs, and help bridge the gap between technical teams and business users.
We’re looking for someone with previous experience working as a Business Analyst – particularly within data-focused or IT transformation projects. You’ll be a strong collaborator, who is confident in analysing and documenting complex requirements and assessing impact. You’ll be comfortable working across a number of projects and building relationships with people from across our business.
If this sounds like a role you’d enjoy, we’d love to hear from you.
