• Analyse existing data definitions, business rules, transformation logic, and integration dependencies.
• Identify data gaps, inconsistencies, duplication, quality issues, and areas requiring business clarification.
• Facilitate workshops and working sessions with business stakeholders, data owners, regional teams, and technical teams.
• Produce clear documentation to support data model governance, decision-making, and implementation.
• Collaborate closely with Data Modelers to ensure discovery outputs are translated into structured conceptual and logical models.
• Work with API Engineers to ensure mapped data structures can support API specifications, payloads, and integration requirements.
• Support alignment between regional data variations and the target canonical data model.

Required Skills and Experience

• Strong experience in business analysis and data analysis within enterprise environments.
• Good understanding of data mapping, source-to-target analysis, and requirements gathering.
• Experience working with enterprise data models, canonical data models, or integration-focused data structures.
• Ability to analyse data definitions, business rules, dependencies, and transformation requirements.
• Understanding of data governance, data quality, metadata, and documentation standards.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including the ability to facilitate workshops and manage input from multiple business teams.
• Good communication skills, with the ability to translate business requirements into clear data documentation.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work with complex, cross-regional data landscapes.

Nice to Have

• Previous experience in the insurance domain.
• Experience supporting Canonical Data Model initiatives.
• Experience with data transformation, data migration, integration, or platform modernisation projects.
• Familiarity with API-led integration or enterprise integration patterns.
• Experience working across multiple regions, business units, or regulatory environments.
