I am responsible for the gathering and design of specifications to ensure the successful delivery of business requirements. I interact with business sponsors in New York, other BA’s in London and technologists in Glasgow. I also have working relationships with a number of 3rd party vendors.
I previously worked in London for UBS Investment Bank as a Business Analyst in Equities e-commerce. With my husband originally from Scotland, we were looking to relocate. I knew that the ETC existed and periodically used the company website to keep track changes in the ETC and job opportunities in Glasgow. When the appropriate position came up I applied for my current role.
First impressions of the ETC?
The central location of the offices is beneficial for commuting and access to many shops/restaurants etc.
Did you relocate? If so, where from?
I relocated from London to work at the ETC.
How do you ‘make a difference’ in your work?
As a business analyst, I have the opportunity to examine current business processes, allowing the possibility for both technology and business improvement.
Where do you commute from?
I live in Prestwick and travel to work by train. It takes around 45 minutes to make the 35 mile journey. This is compared to the 50 minutes it took to travel 7 miles by train when I commuted to work in London.
Are there outside activities/pursuits you can do now you are in the ETC and couldn’t do before?
With such a wide variety of courses all close to home, I have taken up golf since moving to Scotland.
Any quotes you would like us to use?
“J.P.Morgan is a global organisation with a great reputation in the world of finance. Very few companies within the central belt of Scotland can compete as an employer.”
