What do we expect from you?
- As our solution owner, you shape the roadmap for the applications we use to support our new and developing investors.

You also follow up on the execution of the roadmap, and are always ready for the next sprint. You do this in collaboration with the project sponsor.

- You define the MVP, the business value and the priorities.
- You set the business requirements by fine-tuning them with the internal client, the office staff and your colleagues from the Legal & Compliance department.
- You also work in close collaboration with colleagues from Product Development, Product Management and of course, IT.

Can you help us make the difference?
For the past two years I have enjoyed working as a business analyst at KBC Asset Management. This position has many positive points of which two immediately stand out. One important aspect of the job that I really appreciate, is the collaboration with different product and business teams within the organization. Thanks to open communication and trust, we successfully launched several epics. This cooperation brings you in contact with different functions, cultures and departments in a very short time, which strengthens your learning curve. A second aspect is the great variety of the job. No two days are the same. Both from an operational and strategic perspective you can take on tasks, you never have a dull moment. This also ensures that you go broader than just business analysis. Functional analyses, roadmap support, operational issues, ... in an international context are all part of your job. These are just two positive aspects to the position. There are many more, which you can discover if you choose this position. Highly recommended!
