IT Analyst with insurance experience, Nordea Life Finland

Job ID: 6926

We're an award-winning insurance company looking for a DevOps Engineer who believes that production infrastructure deserves the same rigour and quality discipline as the code it delivers.

Nordea Life & Pension Finland combines the strengths of a specialised insurance company with the backing of a large financial group. We are much smaller than Nordea Bank, which means closer collaboration, shorter decision paths and strong ownership in day-to-day work. At the same time, because we are part of the Nordea Group, the role also requires the ability to work across shared platforms, common processes and a larger enterprise environment. We are a small company recognized repeatedly as Finland's best financial sector workplace by Great Place to Work and winner of the Finnish Quality Award. Quality is not a project; it is part of how we think. We do things properly, improve continuously, and keep structures light so people can focus on meaningful work

About this opportunity

Welcome to Nordea Life & Pension Finland. We are a solvent Finnish life insurance company and part of the Nordea Group, but we are not Nordea Bank’s everyday banking business. Our focus is on life insurance, savings and pension-related products, and while Nordea Bank acts as an important distribution channel and agent for several of our products, Nordea Life & Pension has its own business domain, products and dedicated IT organisation.

We are seeking a talented Business Analyst to join our IT development team in Finland. In this role, you will play a key part in turning business needs into solutions that improve our business and customer experience. You will work at the intersection of business and technology as part of our Agile development setup, collaborating closely with Product Owners, developers and business stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle.

Main responsibilities in this role:

• Analyze business processes and identify opportunities for improvement and digitalization
• Gather, clarify and validate business needs together with relevant stakeholders
• Translate business needs into clear features, user stories and acceptance criteria in close collaboration with Product Owners and development teams
• Drive analysis and requirement refinement for the development and enhancement of life and pension solutions
• Support prioritization and refinement of the backlog by clarifying business value, requirements and dependencies
• Identify dependencies and impacts across processes, systems and teams
• Participate actively in Agile/SAFe ceremonies, including refinement, PI Planning and iteration planning
• Conduct data analysis to support business decisions and development
• Facilitate workshops and meetings with business and cross-functional development teams
• Ensure that regulatory and compliance requirements are considered throughout the development process
• Support testing and validation to ensure that delivered solutions meet agreed business needs
• Create and maintain relevant business process and requirements documentation

The role is based in Kaisaniemi, Helsinki. We follow hybrid model of working (60% onsite - up to 40% remote).

Who you are

This is the right role for you if you are experienced in turning complex business needs into clear requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria, and are familiar with business process modelling, Agile development, Jira and Confluence. Finally, you are a curious and analytical team player who builds strong stakeholder relationships, takes ownership and enjoys bridging the gap between business and technology while keeping the customer and bigger picture in mind.

Your background and skills include:

• 3+ years of experience in business analysis, requirements management or digital development, preferably within financial services
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a structured approach and an end-to-end perspective
• Experience in business process modelling and turning complex business needs into clear requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria
• Experience working in Agile development
• Experience with Jira and Confluence
• Strong understanding of life insurance and/or pension products
• Communication skills in English as this is our primary language among IT/Tech professionals
• Fluency in Finnish or Swedish - as the application is written in FI/SE, it is necessary to know of of these languages
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business Administration, Finance, IT or a related field

It is beneficial if you have:

• Experience working with SAFe
• Swedish language skills
• Previous experience specifically within financial services
• Experience working in cross-functional teams across business and technology
