Role Overview

This is an AI Augmented Business Analyst role within the Corporate Functions Technology team, part of the TP ICAP Technology division. The role combines traditional business analysis disciplines-requirements elicitation, stakeholder communication, process mapping-with modern AI assisted ways of working to drive productivity, quality, and speed of delivery. The focus will be working across the delivery portfolios for the Brokerage & Pricing organisations, with a particular emphasis on leveraging AI tooling to extract logic from legacy codebases, automate documentation workflows, and provide rapid, evidence based responses to business and technology queries.

Responsibilities Business Analysis (Core)

• Elicit, analyse, and document requirements for Technology projects, producing clear, concise artefacts including User Stories, Business Process Flows, Gap Analyses, and Impact Assessments.
• Lead requirements gathering and process definition workshops with business stakeholders; proactively ensure sign off from senior Business and Technology stakeholders.
• Monitor, track, and elevate risks, issues, and dependencies on analysis and requirements work.
• Contribute to business architecture and business solution design alongside Solution Architects and Development teams.
• Support User Acceptance Testing definition and end user training.

AI Assisted Analysis & Legacy Migration

• Use AI tools (e.g. LLMs, code reading agents) to review and interpret source code, extracting business logic and rules from legacy systems to support migration to modern platforms.
• Produce logic mapping documentation between legacy and target systems, ensuring completeness and traceability of business rules through the migration lifecycle.
• Respond to business and technology queries by leveraging AI to interrogate the codebase directly, providing rapid, evidence based answers rather than relying solely on tribal knowledge.
• Validate AI generated outputs against domain expertise to ensure accuracy and business alignment.

Automation & Productivity

• Use MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations and automation tooling to publish and maintain documentation directly in Confluence and JIRA, reducing manual overhead and keeping artefacts current.
• Automate repetitive analysis tasks-such as impact assessments, data mapping, and requirement traceability-using AI assisted workflows.
• Continuously identify opportunities to streamline BA processes through AI and automation, setting a standard for the wider team.

AI Agents, Steering & Skills Guidance

• Evaluate, configure, and steer AI agents (e.g. coding assistants, documentation agents, query response agents) to support delivery within the Brokerage & Pricing portfolio.
• Provide skills analysis and practical guidance to teams within Corporate Services on effective use of AI tools in their day to day work-including prompt engineering, agent configuration, and output validation.
• Act as a point of reference for AI first ways of working within the BA discipline, championing responsible adoption and sharing best practices across the Technology division.
