Business Analyst - 12 Month FTC Manchester, England
Job description
Description
Our Strategic Commercial Transformation programme called BluePrint seeks Business Analysts to join our exciting project on a 12-month fixed term contract.

These changes will be delivered through a combination of process, people, organisation, and technology change that will come together to embody the new operating model. Delivery will be structured into releases formed of a number of SCRUMS and focusing on delivering a new way of working for the AXA Commercial Business.
