Estimated Duration: 12 Months
 

 

Lead Business Analyst, Direct Venture
Job Overview
The Lead Business Analyst leads business analysis on the organization’s largest and most complex change initiatives, and sets the standards and methods other analysts work to. Partnering with business leaders, Product Owners, and delivery teams, the role frames problems and options before scope is set, keeps requirements coherent across teams and initiatives, and builds analysis capability across the organization. At this level, the incumbent sets direction on how analysis is approached and is accountable for its quality on initiatives with significant business, financial, or regulatory impact.
Job Responsibilities

  • Lead discovery on initiatives that are ambiguous, cross-cutting, or high-risk, framing the problem and the viable options before a solution direction is set.
  • Frame features on evidence, including customer feedback, journey insight, and operational performance.
  • Lead analysis of end-to-end customer and operational journeys that span business units, where no single area owns the full experience.
  • Partner with business leaders and sponsors to translate objectives into initiative scope, and provide the analysis that informs business cases and investment decisions.
  • Define the analysis approach for large initiatives: what needs to be analyzed, in what depth, in what sequence, and by whom.
  • Lead the definition and documentation of business rules that govern the processes and systems in scope, working in partnership with the business owners accountable for those rules.
  • Write epics and user stories with clear, testable acceptance criteria.
  • Resolve conflicting requirements across business units, and bring trade-offs to stakeholders with a clear recommendation.
  • Work with compliance, legal, and risk partners to ensure regulatory and control requirements are identified and addressed consistently across initiatives.
  • Partner with Product Owners across teams to keep backlogs coherent and sequenced against the overall initiative.
  • Break large and complex initiatives down into features and stories that delivery teams can start on with confidence.
  • Provide analysis leadership to multiple delivery teams, maintaining consistency of requirements, business rules, and terminology across them.
  • Identify and drive resolution of cross-team dependencies, risks, and issues, escalating to sponsors when they can’t be resolved at the team level.
  • Assess the business impact of significant changes in scope or direction and advise leaders on the implications.
  • Define how the success of a change will be measured, and review customer and operational results after implementation to confirm the intended outcomes were achieved.
  • Oversee business acceptance and implementation readiness for initiatives spanning multiple business areas.
  • Assess the cumulative impact of change on business processes, procedures, and roles, and partner with business leaders on readiness.
  • Own and evolve business analysis standards, templates, and methods, and drive their adoption across teams.
  • Coach and mentor analysts at all levels, including senior analysts, and support onboarding, development, and hiring.
  • Assess analysis capability and capacity against the portfolio of work, and advise leadership on gaps.
  • Identify and lead improvements to how the organization defines and delivers change.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in business or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
  • 5+ for a senior BA or 7+ or more years of lead business analysis experience, including leading analysis on large, cross-functional initiatives
  • Experience in property and casualty insurance or another regulated financial services environment
  • Demonstrated experience setting analysis approach and standards, and coaching or mentoring analysts
  • Proficiency with tools such as Jira and Confluence, and comfort using AI-assisted tools in day-to-day work
  • Business analysis certification (e.g., CBAP) or insurance designation (e.g., CIP) is an asset
