Client Reporting Business Analyst - 6 month FTC

At M&G, our purpose is to give everyone real confidence to put their money to work. With a heritage dating back more than 175 years, we have a long history of innovation in savings and investments, combining asset management and insurance expertise to offer a wide range of solutions.
Our two distinct operating segments, Asset Management and Life, work together to provide access to balanced, long-term investment and savings solutions.
Through telling it like it is, owning it now and moving it forward together with care and integrity; we are creating an exceptional place to work for exceptional talent.
We will consider flexible working arrangements for any of our roles and offer workplace adjustments to ensure you have the support you need to succeed in your role.

This six-month fixed-term role will support Client Reporting through the implementation and readiness phase of the CCI programme, helping deliver the enhanced EMT requirements while maintaining existing BAU commitments.

The CCI programme will provide the underlying data required for the enhanced EMT standards. Client Reporting will own the enhanced EMT output and associated BAU process, including the incorporation of additional CCI-related EMT fields.

The Business Analyst will build a detailed understanding of the current reporting process, assess the impact of the CCI-driven changes and translate requirements into practical changes to processes, controls and ways of working. The role will support implementation and effective transition into a robust Client Reporting BAU operating model.

The role will also consider related reporting activities, identifying opportunities to improve consistency, reduce duplication and make better use of common data, processes, templates and controls.
