Business Analyst – One Year Contract

Liberty Life Assurance Kenya, a leading life insurance provider with over 50 years of serving Kenyans, is seeking a seasoned Business Analyst to join their team on a one-year contract basis. This role sits at the critical intersection of IT and Business, tasked with translating complex business needs into clear, actionable system requirements and data-driven insights that guide strategic decisions at the executive level.

The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in bridging operational gaps, driving business process improvements, and ensuring that technology solutions align with the company's broader strategic objectives. If you thrive in dynamic financial services environments and have a passion for turning data into decisions, this is your opportunity to make a tangible impact at one of Kenya's most established insurance brands.

• Lead the design, requirement definition, and testing of system enhancements arising from product changes or major business initiatives, ensuring accuracy and quality of all outputs.
• Identify, document, and prioritize technical and functional requirements in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Conduct trend analysis and monitor business practices to deliver regular operational control reports to senior and executive management.
• Maintain deep, specialist knowledge of Liberty's products, business rules, processes, and application systems.
• Manage the relationship model and uphold the integrity of interfacing and integrated systems.
• Ensure robust financial audit and control aspects are embedded within application systems.
• Plan, organize, and coordinate business process reengineering and improvement projects, as well as management reviews across the organization.
• Consult with various departments to elicit business needs and translate functional and technical requirements into strategic initiatives.
• Provide leadership during the rollout of large-scale and complex IT implementations, managing risk and stakeholder expectations throughout.

• Demonstrate at least 4 years of hands-on business analysis experience, including strategic analysis, implementation planning, and post-implementation review.
• Apply strong analytical thinking to dissect complex business problems and design structured, evidence-based solutions.
• Communicate clearly and persuasively — both in writing and verbally — with technical teams and non-technical executives alike.
• Facilitate workshops, requirements-gathering sessions, and stakeholder presentations with confidence and professionalism.
• Navigate financial services environments, understanding regulatory, audit, and compliance considerations that affect system and process design.
• Manage competing priorities with strong organizational discipline, consistently delivering accurate, detail-oriented work.
• Influence and build consensus among diverse stakeholders, including senior leadership, IT teams, and business unit heads.
• Hold a Bachelor's Degree in Business, Information Technology, Economics, Banking, Strategic Management, or a related field.
• A Master's Degree in Business or IT, a Certified Business Analyst (CBAP) certification, or a PMP/PRINCE2 qualification will be a distinct advantage.
• Prior experience in financial services and in IT disciplines (software development, networks, or systems administration) will strengthen your application.

Salary is competitive and aligned with the Kenyan market for mid-to-senior Business Analyst roles in the financial services sector. Based on industry benchmarks, the estimated monthly compensation for this role ranges between KES 120,000 and KES 200,000, commensurate with experience and qualifications. This is a one-year fixed-term contract position.

• Competitive contract remuneration
• Exposure to a leading, well-established insurance brand
• Opportunity to work on high-impact, enterprise-level IT and business transformation projects

This role is ideal for an experienced Business Analyst with a strong background in financial services who is comfortable operating at both a strategic and technical level. You are highly analytical, a confident communicator, and someone who can independently manage complex stakeholder landscapes. You bring structured thinking to ambiguous problems and have a proven track record of delivering on large IT implementations.

You should NOT apply if you have fewer than 4 years of relevant business analysis experience, have no exposure to IT systems or software environments, or are looking for a permanent, long-term employment arrangement — this is strictly a one-year contract engagement.
