Business Analyst - Regulatory Reporting Change

Hello, we're Starling. We built a new kind of bank because we knew technology had the power to help people save, spend and manage their money in a new and transformative way. We're a fully licensed UK bank with the culture and spirit of a fast-moving, disruptive tech company. We're a bank, but better: fairer, easier to use and designed to demystify money for everyone. We employ more than 3,000 people across our London, Southampton, Cardiff and Manchester offices.

The role sits within the Regulatory Reporting team within Finance at Starling Bank. The team is London based and comprises 9 individuals covering reporting, regulatory change and regulatory assurance. As a small team the activities are shared across the team and the ability to work on different reports over time and develop processes and work on various internal and external changes is key to the role.

This is a new permanent role in the team as we build our capability to deliver change projects.  The initial focus will be on implementing a new regulatory reporting system and enabling reporting on a Basel 3.1 basis.  The Business Analyst will contribute throughout the project lifecycle, from requirement definition through to testing and implementation.   Starling prefers small incremental changes, and our projects usually have multiple production releases each month.  The Business Analyst will be expected to adopt an agile approach, collaborating closely with colleagues in Technology, Data and Regulatory Reporting.
