Position Title: Senior Business Analyst
Reports to: Head of Change UK & International
Location: London
Summary of Position:
The Senior Business Analyst is a vital member of our team, responsible for shaping the way our business designs and delivers services — from understanding customer and colleague needs through to defining, prioritising, and implementing solutions that improve the end-to-end experience. The role covers strategic operational initiatives across the business, working closely with senior stakeholders to translate strategic priorities into practical, well-designed change on the ground. It blends traditional business analysis rigour with a business and service design mindset: mapping journeys and touch points, understanding the systems and operating models that sit behind them, and translating insight into evidenced, deliverable solutions. The successful candidate is detail-oriented, data-driven, and genuinely curious about how people experience our services, with a strong understanding of business operations and a passion for driving positive, human-centred change.
Key Responsibilities & Accountabilities:
Strategic & Operational Initiatives:
- Support the design and delivery of strategic operational initiatives, working with senior stakeholders to translate strategic objectives into clear scope, requirements, and delivery plans.
- Analyse operating models and service delivery across the business to identify where strategic change will have the greatest impact, and build the business case to support it.
Discovery & Requirements Gathering:
- Collaborate with stakeholders, customers, and colleagues to understand needs, pain points, and desired outcomes across a service or business area.
- Translate qualitative insight and business needs into clear, actionable requirements, framed around the value they create for users and the business.
Journey Mapping & Service Design:
- Map current-state customer and colleague journeys, identifying moments that matter, pain points, and opportunities for improvement across the end-to-end service.
- Develop future-state journey maps and service blueprints that connect front-stage experience to back-stage processes, systems, and people.
- Facilitate co-design and design-thinking sessions with stakeholders and, where appropriate, end users, to test ideas and prototype improvements early and cheaply.
