We deliver across web and mobile across a range of technologies. We believe in collaboration, with Agile delivery practices being at the heart of everything we do.

We are looking for someone who is ambitious and loves the analytical and collaborative side of being a technologist but also someone who will ensure that the customer experience is always at the heart of it.
We are looking for a Business Analyst who is highly motivated and is actively looking for their next permanent career challenge.

Day to day you'll:
• Progress and deliver business analysis activities to ensure your team has all the information they need to keep things moving
Work as part of a multi-disciplinary Squad delivering work in Sprints
• Contribute to standard Agile planning ceremonies (sprint planning, sprint retrospective) as well as Daily Stand Ups
• Support the Scrum Master and Product Owner in managing the Product Backlog and ensuring that key metrics are understood and followed by the team
• Be the voice of the business and end user and help your team develop and test software for one of our key digital channels
To be successful you'll need to bring:
• A proven track record in business analysis within an agile digital environment

• Proven capability in gathering and documenting complex requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria
• Proficient in creating detailed process maps using industry standard techniques

It's a bonus if you have, but is not essential:

Inclusion at Virgin Money
Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do here at Virgin Money. It's good for you, it's good for us and it's amazing for our customers. We know that great minds don't think alike, so we rely on your diverse thoughts, feelings, beliefs and backgrounds to be the best we can possibly be. Got any questions about this or need some support with your application? We'd love to hear from you so get in touch with our friendly team via email.
Point to note???
At the minute, depending on which team you are joining, lots of us are working from home. This is something that may change over time, and if so, we will come together in one of our hub locations, giving you the chance to meet your new colleagues in person. We will of course, make sure you have the IT equipment to access our systems and to interact digitally with your new team and colleagues, but we thought it best to let you know this in advance, so you can make sure you are set up to work safely and productively. If you have any questions on this let us know!
Now the legal bit???
If we offer you a job and you accept, there are some checks we need to complete before you can start with us. This will include a credit and criminal record check, as well as providing 3 years' worth of satisfactory references.
