  • Take full ownership of managing the product backlog of key systems on change initiatives
  • Act as primary focus for questions related to business usage of systems within your sphere of influence.
  • Support the system and UAT test teams, helping with understanding of the change and reviewing test cases to ensure full coverage
  • Support the on-going development of the Business Analyst function at Hiscox, developing standards, procedures, and knowledge transfer
  • Design data lineage / data flows for the relevant interfaces and provide an analysis of the existing and future data retention and security requirements that need to be adhered to
  • Represent Group IT on change initiatives and ensure high business analysis standards are maintained
  • Support business units with ad hoc queries
  • Reconcile data between interfaces and manage any expectations with the business units
Technical Skills
