As a Barclays Wholesale Lending Business Analyst, you will be responsible for a key component of the Wholesale Lending Strategy which is the implementation of a new Loan Processing Application, Loan IQ.

Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager.
