LOCATION
This role is based at London, Victoria and offers hybrid working (Minimum 3 days in the office).
THE TEAM
You will join the Project Evolve team within Group Finance, working closely with colleagues across D&T, Finance Operations, Financial Reporting and Commercial Finance. The team sits at the heart of the organisation and plays a key role in supporting Landsec’s systems and reporting needs.
The team culture is collaborative, supportive, and focused on continuous improvement. You will work alongside experienced finance professionals who value clear communication, teamwork, strong analytical skills, and a proactive mindset that embraces accountability and delivers positive change.
THE ROLE
This is a key Business Process Analyst role within Project Evolve, Landsec’s joint Finance and D&T programme to establish trusted data, governance, reporting and process foundations for the business.
Reporting to the Group Financial Controller, the Business Process Analyst will work closely with the Finance Technical Lead, Project Manager, D&T and stakeholders across Finance, Portfolio & Asset Management, Investment, Strategy and the wider business.
The role will support the business to identify, prioritise, change and manage improvements in business processes across both core finance processes, including General Ledger activity, and operational processes linked to the Tenancy Schedule.
Acting as the practical bridge between the project team and the business, the role will help ensure improved processes are well understood, appropriately prioritised, aligned to the new data governance policy and supporting frameworks, and embedded with the teams who own and use them.
What makes this role unique?
- You will play a central role in one of Landsec’s key transformation priorities, helping the business move from inconsistent, manual or locally managed processes to clearer, more controlled and more efficient ways of working.
- You will work across both core finance processes, including General Ledger activity, and operational processes linked to the Tenancy Schedule, helping teams prioritise and implement sustainable improvements.
- You will help embed the new data governance policy and supporting frameworks by making expectations clear, practical and aligned to day-to-day business processes.
- You will be responsible for personally documenting and maintaining current and future-state process maps in Lucidchart, ensuring process knowledge, ownership and controls are clearly captured and maintained.
