Senior Business Analyst - Commercial Insurance

About the Company Our client is a major insurer operating a commercial insurance business, serving customers from SME through to upper mid-market. They've built a risk management platform with a vendor, and continue to invest in strengthening this capability as the business grows.

About the Role This Senior Business Analyst role leads discovery on a major API integration rebuild with an external vendor, redefining requirements as the vendor overhauls their API structure. Reporting to the Product Owner and working closely with business SMEs, you'll translate vendor and business input into clear requirements, operating independently ahead of the delivery team being resourced.
