Business Analyst
Whippany, NJ

As a Barclays Business Analyst, you will be successfully providing Business Analysis. You will also be responsible for coordinating, planning, and performing analysis tasks for one or more components of a program and/ or transaction cycle business process and/ or specialist applications. Lastly, you will be responsible for acting as a reviewer and quality gate for analysis output, ensuring root cause is addressed and the right design delivered for user requirements.

Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality, and innovation behind us. We've helped millions of individuals and businesses thrive, creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted. An important and growing presence in the USA, we offer careers providing endless opportunity.

We are 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. We’re 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. We also have a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances

Please discuss the detail of the working pattern options for the role with the hiring manager.
