Job description

About FinXL IT

FinXL IT Professional Services is an established, innovative Australian company, providing technology-enabled business solutions and professional services to a diverse client base of blue-chip organisations.

The Opportunity

FinXL IT is currently seeking a highly experienced and proactive Senior Business Analyst to join our delivery team on-site at a leading general insurance organisation. This is a pivotal role requiring decommissioning experience, where you will manage the end-to-end lifecycle of retiring complex legacy systems and infrastructure.

You will act as a strategic functional and technical "bridge," ensuring that as systems are decommissioned, business continuity is protected and future-state processes are optimised. This role involves managing a high-priority pipeline of initiatives that require a sophisticated "risk mindset" and deep analytical rigour.

Key Responsibilities

  • End-to-End Analysis: Lead decommissioning initiatives from initial scoping and requirements gathering through to final execution.
  • Process Engineering: Create future-state business processes and evaluate solution impacts and cross-program dependencies.
  • Workshop Leadership: Facilitate stakeholder workshops to align business needs with technical constraints.
  • Technical Liaison: Serve as the primary conduit between Tech teams and Business units to ensure delivery meets stakeholder expectations.
  • Change & Training: Assist with Change Management scoping and the development of training materials for transitioning teams.
  • Documentation Mastery: Maintain and update project artefacts, diagrams, and playbooks within Confluence, JIRA, and Visio.
  • Program Oversight: Share responsibility for the quality, consistency, and collaboration of BA work across the broader program.

What You'll Need to Succeed

  • Substantial experience as a Senior BA with a strong background in the general insurance industry.

  • A decommissioning specialist: Proven track record in system decommissioning, legacy retirement, or complex migration projects.

  • Risk-First Mindset: Ability to identify hidden dependencies and proactively mitigate project risks.

  • Tool Proficiency: Advanced hands-on skills in JIRA, Confluence, and Visio are essential for this role.

  • Communication: Exceptional ability to articulate technical solutions and "options papers" to non-technical senior sponsors.

What's On Offer?

  • Initial 6 months' contract, with a view to extend
  • Located in Sydney CBD
  • Hybrid working arrangement (2-3 days in the office)
