About The Job
Job Summary
As one of our Associate Business Analysts, you’ll be at the heart of interesting projects that help us to keep the UK safe. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you’ll seek to understand intricate problems, uncover opportunities, and shape solutions that meet both user and business needs. You’ll analyse requirements, then turn your insight into action mapping processes, helping to design services that are efficient, effective, and aligned with our strategic goals. It’s all about solving the right problems, in the right way, delivering value for the colleagues who’ll depend on you.
Job Description
Day to day, you’ll support the gathering and validation of business and user needs through workshops, interviews, document reviews, and collaborative working. Working with more senior analysts, you’ll assist in the production of analysis, defining, and escalating risks. And you’ll prepare materials for stakeholders, capture feedback, and ensure information is always accurate and clear.
You’ll be supported by an experienced Business Analyst who’ll help you manage your portfolio of projects and grow your skills. It’s an excellent opportunity to develop your core business analysis skills, gain exposure to delivery environments, and build an understanding of how analysis supports decision making. When you’re ready, there’ll also be the chance to take on more complex projects and progress to a more senior role. You could be working within technology, facilities, people, or information departments, to name a few. So, your diverse workload will vary between supporting vital internal systems and processes, to helping develop new tech that supports mission-critical activity. You’ll also work with stakeholders throughout the UK’s Intelligence Services and support teams through periods of change.

Person Specification
You’ll have practical experience working as an Associate Business Analyst, delivering analysis for projects or programmes of work. Your foundational knowledge and skills in business modelling will mean you’re comfortable working on process analysis and improvement, and that you’re able to create organisation, process, system, and data models to support decision making. Due to the nature of our work, you’ll need to be adaptable and resilient when operating in complex environments where priorities can change and requirements can be ambiguous. Your ability to elicit and manage user requirements will be key. And since you’ll need to tailor outputs to different audiences and work across multiple teams, communication and collaboration skills are a must.
