Are you a backend-focused, finance-savvy Business Analyst who thrives on bridging the gap between numbers and engineering?

We are a recruiting for a leading multinational retail company, and we are looking for a Lead Business Analyst to join their Finance Technology team. To hit the ground running, they require someone who comes directly from a retail corporate background or possesses highly similar fast-paced consumer sector experience.

This isn't a customer-facing or UX/UI role-this is a heavy-duty, backend position where you will sit squarely between their Finance and Software Engineering teams, ensuring their financial ecosystem and payment tracking infrastructure run flawlessly.

• Translate & Bridge: Turn complex financial processes (R2R, Accounts Payable, Procurement) into crisp, technical requirements for software engineers.

• Own the Agile Process: Lead ceremonies, manage backlogs in Azure DevOps, and write flawless User Stories using standard syntax and GHERKIN criteria.

• Data & Integrity: Use SQL and Excel to extract data, model alternative solutions, and ensure bulletproof system integrity (security, auditing, and logging).

• Mentor & Lead: Guide and upskill fellow BAs and Product Owners within the team, fostering a high-performing Agile community of practice.

• Industry Experience: A strong corporate background within a retail company or an identical fast-paced, high-volume consumer environment.

• Domain Expertise: Deep technical knowledge of backend financial systems, specifically Record to Report (R2R), Accounts Payable, and payment recording.

• Technical Chops: Advanced SQL skills for heavy data extraction, modelling, and trend analysis.

• Methodology: Practical expertise in Agile, backlog management (Azure DevOps preferred), and technical documentation.
