About Albany Beck

Albany Beck is a Management Consultancy focused on providing specialist talent and transformative solutions to Financial Services clients. We combine subject matter expertise with innovative delivery models that help clients scale efficiently, while offering meaningful, long-term career opportunities to our people. At Albany Beck, you'll be choosing to work with an organisation that's passionate about your learning journey and committed to your professional and personal development.

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Business Data Analyst with strong insurance domain expertise to join a long-term data transformation programme supporting a leading insurance organisation.

This role will play a critical part in improving enterprise-wide data quality, consistency and ownership across the group. The successful candidate will work closely with business stakeholders, operations teams, data modellers and technology teams to resolve existing data deficiencies and establish a single, agreed view of business data.

The team is driving a multi-year data transformation programme focused on building a single source of truth and delivering business value through a new Snowflake platform. This is a highly operational role with a strong emphasis on data quality, governance and business alignment rather than cloud engineering.

We are looking for a hands-on problem solver who is comfortable working with ambiguity, challenging existing processes and leading discussions to establish clear data hierarchies, business definitions and ownership models across multiple stakeholders.

The successful candidate will bring a strong understanding of insurance operations, data structures and SQL-based data analysis to support transformation initiatives and drive lasting improvements in data governance.
