Job Details

World Courier operates in a complex, fast-moving, and highly regulated environment. Decisions often need to be made quickly, based on accurate, real-time information across the supply chain.

The Lead Business Analyst plays a critical role in shaping and defining technology initiatives that support global specialty logistics operations, with a particular focus on supply chain visibility, real-time information, and operational insight. You will work closely with business stakeholders, product teams, architects, and delivery partners to ensure problems are clearly understood and solutions are well-defined, valuable, and achievable.

Why This Role Matters

The Business Analyst helps bridge the gap between business needs and technology delivery, ensuring that investments in systems and platforms genuinely improve visibility, decision-making, and customer experience.

This role matters because clear problem definition, strong analysis, and shared understanding are essential to delivering solutions that work — not just technically, but operationally. The Business Analyst helps ensure we focus on the right problems, ask the right questions, and deliver outcomes that make a real difference.

What You’ll Do

Lead Discovery and Shape Business Needs Related to Supply Chain Visibility

  • Lead engagement with operational, customer service, commercial, and product stakeholders to understand challenges and opportunities across the logistics lifecycle.
  • Own current-state assessment of processes, data flows, and information gaps related to shipment tracking, milestone visibility, exceptions, and real-time insights.
  • Drive alignment on clear problem statements, scope boundaries, success metrics, and desired outcomes grounded in real operational needs.

Own Requirements and Partner on End-to-End Solution Design

  • Elicit, define, document, and manage business and functional requirements, ensuring they are clear, prioritized, and outcome-focused.
  • Collaborate closely with Solution Architects and technical leads to ensure requirements are translated into coherent, end-to-end solution designs, including integration points and data flows.
  • Lead definition of future-state processes, data needs, reporting/visibility requirements, integration points, and operating impacts.
  • Manage requirement changes, tradeoffs, and constraints; drive timely decisions that balance user needs, operational realities, and technical feasibility.

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.
