Key Skills:

• Proven track record as a Business Analyst with project management capabilities, ideally in regulatory or financial crime contexts.

• Familiarity with FCA Section 166 audits, AML processes, and financial crime frameworks.

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills to engage with senior stakeholders and manage expectations effectively.

• Ability to work independently and take ownership of workstreams, driving them to successful completion.

• Comfortable working in a small team where flexibility and cross-functional collaboration are essential.

• Expertise in identifying control gaps and delivering actionable recommendations.

Hybrid Working

Barclays is currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. Barclays is flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month or a quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. Barclays also has a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances
