Business Analyst

Business Analyst Contractor - Financial Services - Belfast (Hybrid)

We're working with a Belfast-based product team delivering a core platform within a financial services environment and they're looking for an experienced Business Analyst contractor to support delivery across multiple work streams. You'll work closely with a Product Owner to capture domain knowledge and translate it into clear, actionable requirements for the engineering team.

This role suits a BA who is comfortable operating between business and technology, helping shape solutions while keeping delivery moving at pace.

You'll partner day‑to‑day with the Product Owner and stakeholders to understand business processes and product goals, documenting requirements in a way that enables efficient development and testing. You'll be responsible for writing user stories, acceptance criteria and supporting artefacts, as well as clarifying scope and priorities with the delivery team.

You'll also support backlog refinement, sprint planning and ongoing clarification during delivery, acting as a key point of contact between business users and developers.

• Financial services domain (not necessarily capital markets)
• Product‑led delivery model
• Agile / Scrum teams
• Close collaboration with engineering and QA

• Strong experience working as a Business Analyst in technology teams
• Some background in financial services environments
• Comfortable working with Product Owners to shape requirements
• Strong experience writing user stories and acceptance criteria
• Confident working directly with developers and testers
• Able to work onsite in Belfast at least 2 days per week

• Rate up to £500 per day
• Inside IR35
• Hybrid working with minimum 2 days onsite in Belfast
• Start within the next couple of weeks
• Interview process moving quickly

You'll be embedded in a product team where your work has direct impact on delivery. The role offers good stakeholder exposure, strong collaboration with engineering, and a chance to work on meaningful financial services systems rather than pure documentation exercises.
