Business Analyst

London (Hybrid) Up to £60,000 Permanent or 18-24 Month FTC

A high-growth, private equity-backed professional services platform is looking for a high-calibre Business Analyst to join its central transformation team.

This is a rare opportunity to work at the heart of a fast-scaling business executing an ambitious buy-and-build strategy, giving you direct exposure to M&A, value creation, and enterprise-wide transformation.

If you're currently in management consulting (strategy, operations, or transformation) and looking to transition into an in-house role where you can see your impact delivered at pace, this is an excellent next step.

You'll join a high-performing, commercially focused transformation function at the centre of the organisation, working closely with senior leadership on initiatives that materially drive growth and performance.

This is not a typical BA role - you'll be embedded in value creation, working across:

• M&A integration and operational due diligence
• End-to-end process transformation
• Data-driven performance improvement
• Technology and automation initiatives (including AI / no-code tools)

Expect a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment where your work will directly influence strategic outcomes.

• Process & business analysis: Map and redesign processes across a growing portfolio of businesses
• Value identification: Identify operational inefficiencies and build actionable improvement plans
• M&A exposure: Support integration activity and operational due diligence on acquisitions
• Data & insights: Analyse financial and operational data to shape decisions
• Transformation delivery: Support implementation of scalable, tech-enabled solutions
• Stakeholder engagement: Produce board-level materials and work closely with senior stakeholders

We're particularly interested in candidates with:

• 2-5 years' experience in management consulting (strategy, operations, transformation)
• Strong grounding in structured problem solving, process mapping, and data analysis
• Experience supporting large scale transformation or system implementations
• Excellent PowerPoint / Excel skills and ability to produce senior-ready outputs
• A proactive, high ownership mindset and comfort working in ambiguity

Exposure to automation, AI tools, or low-code platforms (e.g. Power Platform) is a plus, not essential.
