Senior Data Business Analyst
role at
M&G
You will be part of a digital and data transformation programme, bridging business needs with technology to deliver data‑driven use cases across Asset Management, Life Insurance and Finance.
Key accountabilities
Lead complex data analysis to validate business requirements – interrogating source systems directly rather than relying solely on stakeholder interviews.
Work with business stakeholders across Asset Management, Life Insurance and Finance to elicit, identify, document and translate business requirements into functional and non‑functional data requirements, ensuring definitions align across business groups.
Understand and map ETL processes, assessing upstream and downstream data flows, dependencies and interdependencies within the enterprise data architecture.
Write technical IT change narratives that translate business needs into specifications technology teams can build against, with full traceability.
Interrogate and sense‑check requirements from a sustainable data perspective, challenging and providing options to the business when requirements are unfeasible or technically costly.
Interface closely with Data Engineering teams to ensure requirements are accurately converted into built data products.
Lead data quality assessments and support the development of data‑driven improvement strategies, supporting Data Governance & Data Management colleagues.
Key skills and experience
Proven expertise combining business analysis with hands‑on data skills – analyse source systems, not just facilitate workshops.
Strong understanding of Enterprise Data Platforms, semantic models and dimensional modelling (star schemas, fact/dimension tables).
Experience with data architecture principles, ETL processes and data pipeline concepts.
Proficiency in SQL for data validation and analysis; familiarity with data visualisation tools and cloud‑based data platforms.
Track record translating complex data requirements into technical specifications in financial services.
Ability to translate technical data concepts into business‑friendly language for diverse stakeholders up to senior leadership level.
Key behaviours
Analytically rigorous – dig into detail and validate what you’re told rather than taking requirements at face value.
Constructively challenging – push back when requirements don’t make sense from a data perspective, while maintaining productive relationships.
Strong communicator who bridges business and technology teams, translating in both directions.
Pragmatic problem‑solver who balances ideal data solutions with delivery constraints.
Collaborative across boundaries – works effectively with Data Engineering, business SMEs and senior stakeholders.
What we offer Benefits include a 18% pension scheme, Share Save & Share Incentive Plan, 38 days annual leave (plus extra days), comprehensive parental leave, private healthcare, critical illness cover and life assurance.
We encourage a diverse workforce and inclusive culture, welcome military service and those returning from career breaks. M&G is a Disability Confident Leader – applications from candidates with long‑term health conditions, disabilities or neuro‑divergent conditions are welcomed.
