Business Analyst · Product Owner · Liverpool
It takes careful listening, clear requirements, and someone willing to sit between stakeholders and engineers until everyone is speaking the same language. With over seven years in FinTech and banking software, I handle the conversations that make complex changes feel easy—shielding your developers from noise while aligning internal teams and external suppliers.
Over the past seven years, I have driven complex digital transformations, platform migrations, and API integrations across highly regulated environments. Having cut my teeth in high-compliance FinTech and banking software, I bring that same structural discipline and process-first mindset to tech platforms of any kind.
Highly regulated projects fail when processes are sloppy or requirements are ambiguous. My approach is straightforward: establish clean traceability from day one, turn chaotic workloads into a structured backlog, and write great user stories that leave zero ambiguity for engineering teams.
I specialise in having the right conversations to make change easy—shielding developers from distraction so they can focus on building, while working seamlessly with both internal teams and external suppliers to ensure compliance and business goals are aligned before development begins.
Outside of project delivery, I spend time supporting people entering the field. I previously directed the finova Women’s Network, and I mentor junior analysts on navigating project environments and breaking down technical problems.
Digital Transformation & Major Platform Migrations
Drove a major household insurance digital transformation. Performed the data transformation requirements for an end-to-end migration of over 40,000 policies to the ICE Insuretech platform. Went live on price comparison websites with a new business journey. Scoped and designed an MVP for a customer portal and direct-to-consumer sales journey, while authoring REST API specifications for identity verification and SIRA fraud prevention.
B2B Buy-to-Let SaaS Originations & Technical Consultancy
Served as the key technical consultant for B2B SaaS originations serving tier-2 banks including Aldermore, Metro Bank, and Redwood.

Regulatory Servicing Delivery & Debt Migration UAT Validation
Delivered a major 11,000-case seasonal payments project in close collaboration with finance teams to guarantee processing accuracy. Led end-to-end UAT validation, defect tracking, and SQL-driven test data creation across critical debt migration projects while ensuring strict compliance with CCMA, CPC, and SME codes.

Streamlined core e-commerce workflows and digital operations by translating complex business bottlenecks into structured process improvements, resulting in faster order execution and reliable operational delivery.
Key integrations
Based in the North West, I am 25 minutes from Liverpool city centre and 45 minutes from Manchester and Chester. I am happy working remotely or in a hybrid rhythm, and I can make one day a month in London work for the right project.
Whether you need requirements untangled, a backlog structured, or a steady hand between stakeholders and engineers—send a note and I will come back to you.
