Business Analyst

FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking an experienced Business Analyst to work for our client within the pensions and insurance sector. This is initially a 6-month contract with the potential to extend and will be a hybrid role based in Cheshire.

In this role, you’ll play a critical role in delivering a robust archive solution that meets the minimum operational and regulatory requirements for the successful decommissioning of their legacy system platform.

We invite candidates with strong stakeholder engagement, communication, organisational, and data analysis skills to apply.

Responsibilities:

• Engage with stakeholders to ensure alignment with operational, regulatory and legacy data access needs.
• Identify process changes required for the transition from the legacy platform to the archive.
• Conduct in depth analysis of the legacy data to support archive design and migration planning.
• Provide clear, concise and timely updates on analysis progress, risks and issues.

Requirements:

• Capture, document, and secure agreement on archive-related requirements and intended usage.
• Develop comprehensive documentation of business processes supporting and utilising the archive.
• Conduct detailed data analysis and create a thorough archive data dictionary.
• Perform source-to-target data mapping to ensure accurate data migration.
• Define and implement data quality rulesets to maintain integrity throughout the transition.
• Specify features and requirements to facilitate the seamless transition from the legacy platform to the archive.
