Job Overview

About The Role

We're looking for a Business Analyst to help shape the future of our D365 ERP platform. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in some of AO's most important business transformation initiatives, helping us improve how we work across Finance and Warehouse Management while delivering solutions that make a real difference to our colleagues and customers.

You'll be at the centre of the action, working closely with stakeholders, delivery teams and third-party partners to understand challenges, uncover opportunities, and translate business needs into practical solutions. Whether you're supporting day-to-day ERP improvements or contributing to the rollout of our D365 WMS (Warehouse Management System) programme, you'll help ensure we're delivering value at every step.

This isn't a role where requirements are simply handed to you; you'll be asking questions, challenging assumptions, and helping teams get to the root of what really matters. If you enjoy solving problems, simplifying complexity, and working with people across different parts of the business, you'll fit right in at AO. You'll work closely with teams across both sites, so occasional travel between our Bolton and Crewe locations will be required.

Here's What You Can Expect To Be Doing

You'll be working across both business-as-usual activity and exciting transformation projects, helping us continually improve our D365 ERP landscape. You'll spend time engaging with stakeholders to understand their processes, challenges, and goals, running workshops and conversations that uncover valuable insights and drive better outcomes. You'll translate those discussions into clear requirements, user stories and functional specifications that delivery teams can confidently build against.

A big part of your role will involve mapping and analysing business processes, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, remove pain points and create simpler ways of working. You'll work closely with developers, functional consultants and implementation partners to ensure solutions deliver business value and meet the needs of our teams.

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.
