The Mission

We are looking for a team player who is enthusiastic to join the Management Reporting & Analytics Tribe to work as a Business Analyst in the Non-Financial Risk Reporting squad. NFR Reporting squad is the COE for global reporting on non-financial risk data. The squad is also responsible for development and maintenance of IT systems pertinent to NFR data.

The Business Analyst should be able to (collaboratively) solve problems in a structured manner and communicate the solutions in the squad and with the stakeholders.

You will join the Management Reporting & Analytics Tribe within the COORF organisation as a Business Analyst in the NFR squad. You will work together with a wide range of stakeholders inside and outside the squad to identify and solve problems. You will be part of the Business Analyst Chapter, in order to share standards, expertise and skills with Business Analysts that work in other squads.

Your day to day

As a Business Analyst you focus on identifying and solving strategic problems in the squad. These problems often require active collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders. Together with the Product Owner and the other squad members you actively drive the strategic direction of the squad, which focuses on automation and meeting user needs.

You break features down into stories (storymapping), prepare refinement of stories, write user stories and test the delivered stories. You ensure the full workflow lands in the Agile Way of Working we apply at ING, and you work together with the other squad members to ensure full alignment & understanding of the work to be done.

You support the implementation of solutions that you’ve (co-)created, by communicating about the solution design in a structured manner and by influencing decision making. You are clear and to the point, and focus on getting things done.

The Non-Financial Risk, Compliance community is your client base, in almost all countries where ING is currently active. Therefore, staying in close contact with these clients will be an important part of your job.
