Medior Business Analyst

We are looking for a highly adaptable Business Analyst to support a fast-paced and evolving finance transformation environment. The team is currently facing a significant workload driven by critical upcoming deliverables, shifting priorities, and continuously evolving business requirements.

The successful candidate will operate in a dynamic setting where not all requirements are fully defined upfront. We are therefore looking for someone who is comfortable navigating ambiguity, works proactively, and can quickly understand both financial and technical topics. Rather than waiting for detailed instructions, this person takes ownership, asks the right questions, and actively helps bring structure and clarity to complex situations.

A significant part of the role will focus on gathering, clarifying, and translating business requirements related to processes and systems. The consultant will support the delivery of key project milestones while helping stakeholders navigate ongoing changes, new requirements, and evolving priorities.

We are looking for someone who thrives in a high-speed environment, remains effective under changing circumstances, and is energized by solving problems in situations where not everything is known from day one. The ideal candidate can quickly grasp both financial and technical concepts, communicate confidently with a variety of stakeholders, and adapt easily as priorities shift. Strong communication skills, flexibility, proactivity, and a willingness to learn are essential for success in this role.

This is not a role for someone who requires a highly structured environment with clearly defined requirements from the outset. Success in this position depends on the ability to adapt quickly, learn rapidly, and remain effective in a constantly evolving landscape.
