Closing Date 30-Jan-2022

As Business Change and Readiness Analyst you will support the Business Change and Readiness team with their core activities, you will own the co-ordination of the Business Readiness forums, managing their agendas and driving the action logs. You will be working with representatives from various business areas and change to understand, document and maintain the overarching change management/business readiness risks and issues. Furthermore you will support business readiness project deliverables with guidance from the business change and readiness managers. 

Depending on the team, most of our roles offer flexible working.

So what would you be doing?...

• Supporting the Business Change and Readiness team with their deliverables as needed.
•Taking responsibility for the preparation and smooth running of the Business Readiness Oversight Committee and Business Change Partner Network forums.
•Co-ordinating other key meetings with business and change team reps, including senior stakeholders across the bank as required to understand key challenges and emerging trends.
•Owning the Business Change and Readiness function risk and issue log, working with the team to ensure accuracy and completeness.
•Owning specific initiative related business change and readiness deliverables as delegated by the Business Change and Readiness Managers / Business Change and Readiness Leads.
•Supporting the wider Change and Readiness team transition into a hybrid agile way of working.
•Maintaining the business readiness sharepoint and templates.
•Thinking critically and proactively and contribute ideas for improved working practices.

You need to be this kind of person…

• Passionate about providing unparalleled levels of service and convenience for customers
• Able to work and learn quickly in a fast paced, fun and dynamic environment
• Prepared to stick at something – we get nervous if someone has jumped from job to job as we want people who are prepared to learn and grow
• Care about doing a great job and exceeding expectations with the quality of what you do

And... we are a bank so risk is a part of everything we do. We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the courage to call out any concerns.

We always support colleagues to develop their skills. But to be successful in this job you really do need to already be able to do most of these wonderful things...

•Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders
• Naturally you will enjoy working in a fast paced environment with constantly changing requirements and adopting new ways of working.
•You will have a good understanding of the project lifecycle. 
•You will need to gather information from projects/programmes and won’t be afraid to ask additional questions to ensure a simple and accurate understanding is achieved.
•You will be autonomous, proactive, forward looking, demonstrating a flexible attitude and the ability to provide rigour.
•You should have strong interpersonal skills and confidence to promote new ideas and work effectively with various stakeholders.
•You will demonstrate proficiency in MS Excel, MS Teams, MS PowerPoint & MS Word. 
•It is preferable if you have Jira/Confluence experience but not essential.
•You should have an understanding of Agile delivery methodology.

Important Footnote Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box.  We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked.  So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl? Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.. Good luck!
