Fitch Ratings is currently seeking a Business Analyst based out of our Manchester, UK office.
About the Team:
You’ll join Technology & Data Delivery Enablement, a squad-facing function that supports Agile delivery by translating business needs into clear, testable requirements and enabling predictable, high-quality outcomes. The team partners closely with Delivery Owners, Technical Owners, Product Owners, and cross-functional squad members, with strong visibility across technology initiatives.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
- Engage with business stakeholders and end users to elicit, validate, and refine requirements that drive measurable outcomes.
- Translate business needs into clear, testable, delivery-ready requirements aligned to business strategy and value.
- Partner with Delivery Owners, Product Owners, and squads on Agile ceremonies (story creation, backlog refinement, sprint planning) to support continuous flow.
- Identify and surface delivery risks early (e.g., requirement clarity, feasibility, dependencies) and drive mitigations with clear ownership.
- Maintain high-quality documentation and requirement artifacts in tools such as Jira and Confluence; support testing activities (e.g., smoke testing) to confirm requirements are met.
You May be a Good Fit if:
- You have a bachelor’s degree in business, Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- You bring 3–5 years of experience in business analysis, requirements management, or a related role, ideally in an Agile environment.
- You have strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across business and technical teams.
- You’re eager to learn and apply modern practices, including AI-enabled tools for requirements gathering and documentation.
What Would Make You Stand Out:
- Business Analysis or Agile certification (e.g., CBAP, CCBA, PMI-ACP).
- Hands-on experience with requirements/documentation tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence).
- Exposure to data analysis and/or SQL, including data profiling or documenting data flows.
- Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle and non-functional requirements.
Why Choose Fitch:
- Hybrid Work Environment: 3 days per week in the office; 2 days remote
- A Culture of Learning & Mobility: Dedicated training, leadership development and mentorship programs
- Investing in Your Future: Retirement planning and tuition reimbursement programs
- Promoting Health & Wellbeing: Comprehensive healthcare offerings supporting overall wellbeing
- Supportive Parenting Policies: Generous global parental leave and family-friendly policies
