Business Analyst (Talent Pool) London en-GB

Here at innocent, we're on a mission to make it easier for everyone to get more fruit and veg into their bodies. We started back in 1999 and since then we've gone from selling a few smoothies at a music festival to becoming one of Europe's biggest drinks companies with around 1,000 people (and the B Corp seal of approval).

It's nice to be able to say things like that but we're not patting ourselves on the back just yet. We want to show everyone that it's possible to be a successful business while looking after people and the planet too, so we're trying to get better in pretty much every way. And that's where this job comes in.

At innocent, data helps us make better decisions about our drinks, our operations, and how we grow the business responsibly. Our Business Analysts play a big role in this, partnering with teams across the business to turn questions into insights and insights into action.

This advert isn't for a specific open role right now. Instead, it's our way of meeting curious, analytical people who'd like to be part of innocent in the future. We're building a talent pool for Business Analyst roles across different levels. From those starting out in their analytics journey to more seasoned analysts looking for their next challenge. This is open to all levels and when a role comes up we'll match applications.

If you like solving meaningful problems, asking good questions, and working with humans as much as numbers, we'd love to hear from you.

Want to hear how this looks in practice? Business Analysts at innocent often:

• Partner with teams across the business to understand challenges and turn them into clear problems and requirements
• Analyse data, processes and systems to uncover insights, opportunities and risks
• Shape solutions by thinking across people, process, technology and data
• Create clear documentation, process maps, and analysis that help drive decisions
• Support or lead delivery across the full project lifecycle, from early concept through to rollout
• Work closely with project teams, engineers, subject matter experts and third party partners
• Contribute to testing activities, making sure changes work as expected and issues are resolved
• Help land change effectively through training, communication and ongoing support
• Track progress, manage risks and dependencies, and help keep work on track
• Work with various tools like Azure and Lucid Chart, and work with systems like Dynamics 365 and Kinaxis Maestro.

Depending on your level, you might also:

• Lead end to end analysis on complex projects
• Influence senior stakeholders and shape decision making
• Improve ways of working, governance and delivery standards
• Coach or support more junior analysts

Here's what we're looking for in our Business Analysts:

• A strong analytical mindset and curiosity for understanding how things work
• Experience working with data, processes or systems (this can look different depending on your level)
• The ability to turn complex information into clear, thoughtful recommendations
• Confidence working with stakeholders and adapting your style to different audiences
• A practical, problem solving approach and a desire to make things better
• Attention to detail, with the ability to see things through from idea to delivery
• Comfort using tools (e.g. Excel, reporting tools, systems) and a willingness to keep learning

For more experienced roles, we'll also look for:

• Experience delivering change end to end across projects or programmes
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and work through ambiguity
• Experience supporting or developing others

• The chance to be considered first for future Business Analyst roles at innocent
• Work with a variety of teams on many different projects. Keeping you learning non stop.
• A role where insights genuinely influence decisions, not just slides
• Support to grow your skills, whether you're deepening your technical toolkit or your commercial thinking
• The opportunity to do work that supports a business trying to leave things a little better than it found them

We want innocent to be a great place to work, so we do lots of stuff to make people feel at home and try to make sure everyone's career is shaping up the way they want it to. There are plenty of opportunities to have a go at something new or take things further.

In exchange for helping us do business in the right way, you'll get a solid rewards package that includes a salary (phew), private healthcare, a target based bonus, and a bunch of other nice things like a day off on your birthday. And yes, you get free smoothies.

We also know that not all our drinkers come from the same background, or think the same - so why should we? At innocent, we want to be a great place to work where a diverse bunch of people from all backgrounds can turn up and thrive. When we hire, we want all the juice, bits, and pulp that make you who you are.
