Are you a Business Analyst who enjoys getting close to the business, influencing stakeholders and helping drive meaningful change?

We're partnering with a highly respected professional services organisation that is investing heavily in its Business Transformation capability. As part of this growth, they are looking to appoint a Business Analyst to join a collaborative team delivering a varied portfolio of business and technology change initiatives.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially-minded BA who wants to do more than simply gather requirements. You'll have the chance to influence decision-making, contribute ideas, help shape best practice and play a key role in the evolution of the transformation function.

The Opportunity

Working within a growing Business Transformation team, you'll act as the bridge between business stakeholders and technical teams, helping to identify opportunities, define requirements and deliver solutions that drive genuine business improvement.

The role offers exposure to a broad range of initiatives, including:

• Business-wide transformation programmes
• Enterprise software implementations
• Business process improvement projects
• Business change initiatives
• Future HR and operational transformation programmes
• Technology-enabled change projects

You'll also have the opportunity to contribute to the development of the Business Analysis framework, helping shape how the team operates as it continues to grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with stakeholders to understand business challenges and identify solutions.
• Gather, document and analyse business requirements.
• Produce business cases, benefits analysis and supporting documentation.
• Facilitate workshops and stakeholder meetings.
• Analyse and improve business processes through As-Is and To-Be mapping.
• Translate technical concepts into language accessible to non-technical stakeholders.
• Support solution design, testing and implementation activities.
• Create functional requirements, user stories, use cases and process documentation.
• Work closely with Project Managers, Change professionals and technical teams to ensure successful project delivery.
• Contribute to the ongoing development of Business Analysis standards, tools and best practice.

The ideal candidate will bring:

• Previous experience in a Business Analyst role.
• Formal Business Analysis qualifications or training.
• Experience producing user stories, use cases, process maps and requirements documentation.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Experience working within structured project environments such as Agile or PRINCE2.
• Exposure to business change, transformation or continuous improvement initiatives.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

Just as importantly, we're looking for someone with energy, curiosity and a desire to contribute. This role would suit a BA who enjoys bringing ideas to the table, challenging thinking constructively and helping shape how a team works, rather than simply taking requirements and moving on.

What's on Offer?

• Salary up to 55,000
• Annual bonus
• Private medical insurance
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Pension scheme
• Annual salary review
• Hybrid working (typically two days in the office)
