Decision Focus SME / Technical Business Analyst

G MASS Consulting is looking for an experienced Decision Focus SME / Technical Business Analyst to support a leading Lloyd’s Managing Agent within its Technology function.

The successful consultant will act as the organisation’s internal subject matter expert for Decision Focus, providing functional and technical oversight of the platform and helping ensure the business is deriving maximum value from its investment.

Working across Technology, Risk and other business functions, the consultant will help shape the future direction of the platform, assess additional modules and functionality, and ensure that proposed solutions are proportionate, technically appropriate and aligned to the organisation’s wider GRC and technology strategy.

• Review the current implementation and identify gaps between existing functionality, business requirements and the wider capabilities of Decision Focus
• Understand how the platform supports the organisation’s broader governance, risk and compliance framework, including areas such as risk and controls, regulatory oversight, reporting and assurance
• Provide informed challenge around platform configuration, solution design, data flows, integrations and proposed changes
• Act as an intelligent customer when engaging with the Decision Focus vendor, distinguishing between configuration, process, integration and genuine product limitations
• Assess new modules and functionality, providing clear recommendations on their suitability, value and impact
• Translate business, risk and regulatory requirements into clear functional and technical requirements
• Evaluate solution options, considering business need, architecture, integration, cost, complexity and long-term maintainability
• Support the design and delivery of enhancements, integrations and wider platform change
• Understand how Decision Focus interacts with the organisation’s wider technology, data and control environment
• Build effective relationships across Technology, Risk and other relevant functions, acting as a bridge between technical, operational and business stakeholders
