URGENT Requirement for a Contract Business Analyst (Outside IR35)
We have an URGENT requirement for a Contract Business Analyst (Outside IR35) to play a pivotal role in a major core systems modernisation programme for one of our key logistics clients.
About the Organisation
The organisation currently operates two separate operational platforms (different functionality, technology stacks, and business processes) and have set out on the journey to rationalise the existing landscape, harmonise requirements and processes where practical, and support the move from legacy platforms to a SaaS solution that enables a consolidated, future-ready operating model.
The Role & Person - Business Analyst
Key Responsibilities
- Lead discovery and analysis across operational domains to understand current-state processes, systems, data flows, and pain points
- Elicit, define, and manage business requirements that support process harmonisation and platform consolidation
- Facilitate workshops and stakeholder sessions to align cross-functional teams on target outcomes, priorities, and scope
- Produce clear documentation including process maps, user journeys, use cases, functional requirements, and acceptance criteria
- Partner with product, engineering, architecture, and vendor teams to translate business needs into SaaS-based solution requirements
- Support evaluation of solution options, including gap analysis between current capabilities and the SaaS platform
- Contribute to governance and delivery practices, helping ensure requirements are testable, traceable, and aligned to programme goals
- Support change readiness by helping stakeholders understand impacts to processes, roles, and ways of working
