What You'll Be Doing
We're looking for an accomplished Business Change Business Analyst who thrives on variety.
You'll be equally comfortable analysing data, facilitating workshops, mapping customer journeys and identifying opportunities to improve the way we work.
This isn't an IT Business Analyst role and it does not focus purely on systems or documentation. We need someone who rolls up their sleeves, adapts to each project, and delivers practical business solutions.
Working across business change and transformation initiatives, you'll partner with operational teams, project managers, product owners, technology colleagues and senior stakeholders to deliver measurable business outcomes using data, insight and stakeholder feedback.
If you thrive in fast-paced environments, embrace ambiguity and take ownership, we'd love to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead business analysis across transformation and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Facilitate workshops to understand business needs and opportunities.
- Analyse data to identify trends, root causes and improvements.
- Map current and future-state processes and customer journeys.
- Improve customer experience, operational efficiency and business performance.
- Capture, analyse and document business requirements.
- Produce process maps, user stories, business cases and BA artefacts.
- Challenge existing processes and recommend practical improvements.
- Shape solutions, outcomes and benefits with stakeholders.
- Identify opportunities for AI, automation and emerging technologies.
- Partner with operational, project, product and technology teams.
- Support testing, implementation and business adoption.
- Track outcomes and benefits realisation.
- Manage changing priorities and multiple workstreams.
- Take ownership and get involved wherever needed to deliver results.
Core Requirements
- Proven Business Analyst experience delivering business change, transformation or process improvement.
- Workshop facilitation and stakeholder engagement at all levels.
- Strong business process analysis and process mapping skills.
- Experience using data to support recommendations and decisions.
- Experience supporting AI, automation or new/emerging technology initiatives
- Experience improving customer or colleague journeys.
- Strong requirements elicitation, analysis and documentation skills.
- Ability to analyse business problems and recommend practical solutions.
- Experience supporting business change and adoption.
- Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills.
- Experience managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills.
- Experience working in Agile, Waterfall or hybrid environments.
- Intermediate Microsoft 365 skills, including Power BI.
Additionally, for Senior Business Analyst appointments:
- Experience mentoring, coaching or supporting other Business Analysts.
Desirable Knowledge & Experience
- BCS Business Analysis qualification (or equivalent).
- AI, automation or technology-enabled improvement.
- Experience within property, legal, financial services or another complex operational environment.
- Business case development and benefits realisation.
- Lean Six Sigma, Change Management, or Process Improvement qualification.
- Visio, Miro, Lucidchart or similar.
What Success Looks Like:
- You'll wear multiple hats and get stuck in.
- Take ownership and deliver business outcomes.
- Think analytically while remaining pragmatic.
- Enjoy working with data, people, processes and technology.
- Build trusted stakeholder relationships.
- Challenge constructively and seek continuous improvement.
- Turn complex problems into practical solutions.
- Thrive in ambiguity and changing priorities.
- Communicate confidently at all levels.
- Embrace AI, automation and innovation.
Not the Right Fit if:
- Your experience is primarily IT business analysis rather than business change analysis
- You prefer documenting requirements over improving the business.
- You avoid ambiguity or changing priorities.
- You're more process-focused than outcome-focused.
- You'd rather coordinate than get stuck in.
- You can't demonstrate measurable business outcomes and benefits.
