Senior Business Analyst - Secure Government & Defence
Location – London (hybrid)
Salary - £65,000 - £85,000 + benefits
Clearance – You are required to hold an active eDV level security clearance.
Are you a Senior Business Analyst who's operated inside UK government, defence, or intelligence environments? This is a rare opportunity to join a growing consultancy at the forefront of secure digital delivery, in a brand-new position with real influence from day one.
The opportunity
You won't be filling a seat. You'll be shaping how complex, mission-critical products get built, working directly with customers and delivery teams to translate classified operational needs into outcomes that matter. You'll be embedded in Agile delivery teams, working directly with customers, product owners, and technical specialists to translate complex mission needs into clear, actionable outcomes. This isn't a back-office BA role, you'll be hands-on, visible, and central to delivery. From requirements discovery and backlog management to stakeholder workshops and continuous improvement, you'll own the full analysis lifecycle in one of the most operationally significant delivery environments in the UK.

- Run stakeholder workshops and governance forums, turning competing views into shared understanding and clear decisions.
- Sit at the centre of Agile ceremonies, sprint planning, refinement, reviews, retros and drive continuous improvement in how teams work.
- Bridge the gap between business intent and technical delivery, managing dependencies, assumptions, and requirements changes throughout.
