Position: Tesco Bank Senior Business Analyst (Credit Risk)

Duration: 6 months Temporary Contract

PAYE Only

Tesco Bank is part of Barclays. All contingent opportunities are managed by Randstad in partnership with Barclays.

About the Role

We are seeking a versatile Business Analyst who thrives at the intersection of people, process, and technology. Your main mission will be to serve as the critical bridge between our business stakeholders and technical squads translating high-level needs into clear, actionable requirements.

This role is all about communication and problem-solving rather than technical execution. You won't be building dashboards or coding models. Instead, we need a strong generalist who can comfortably navigate uncertainty, map out end-to-end business journeys, and ensure our projects seamlessly align with legal and compliance standards in a highly regulated landscape.

Core Competencies

• Act as the critical bridge between business stakeholders and technology teams gathering requirements and passing them seamlessly to the technical specialists.
• Map out clear, robust business processes and document them flawlessly.
• Bring structure to complex situations using your stellar people skills, communication, and analytical mind.
• Focus on the broader business journey (including compliance and legal alignments) rather than hands-on data programming or building dashboards.

Requirements & Experience

• Financial Services Expertise: Proven experience working as a BA within a highly regulated financial services environment.
• Core BA Skillset: Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and structured problem-solving skills.
• Agile Frameworks: Experience working in an Agile environment (Jira experience is nice to have, but not essential).
• Product Knowledge (Advantageous): Previous experience with Retail Credit Risk, Loans, or Cards is highly desirable and will fast-track your application.
