About the Role
We are looking for an energetic and adaptable Business Analyst to join a growing organisation delivering digital transformation, technology deployment, and business change programmes across the utilities sector.
This is an opportunity to work on a variety of client-facing projects, helping organisations understand business challenges, define requirements, and support the successful implementation of technology and digital solutions. The role will involve working closely with clients, project managers, product teams, and technical specialists to ensure solutions are delivered effectively and provide measurable business value.
While experience within utilities, energy, or infrastructure environments would be highly beneficial, we are equally interested in candidates who have worked on digital transformation or technology deployment projects in adjacent sectors.
Key Responsibilities
- Engage with stakeholders to understand business objectives, challenges, and requirements.
- Facilitate workshops, interviews, and discovery sessions with clients and project teams.
- Gather, analyse, document, and validate business and functional requirements.
- Map and review existing business processes, identifying opportunities for improvement.
- Support the deployment and adoption of digital products and technology solutions.
- Produce high-quality documentation including business requirements, process maps, user stories, and functional specifications.
- Work closely with project managers, product teams, and technical specialists throughout the project lifecycle.
- Support testing, user acceptance activities, and change adoption initiatives.
- Assist clients in defining business cases, benefits, and success measures.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of delivery methodologies and best practices.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
