Senior Business Analyst
We are looking for a versatile and experienced Senior Business Analyst to join our team based from Helensburgh, Scotland. This role benefits from our 4xFlex working pattern, offering a 4-day working week Monday - Thursday and hybrid working, with typically 2 days a week onsite and 2 days working from home (subject to business needs).
As our Senior Business Analyst you will operate primarily within an Agile software development environment, while also possessing the ability to write formal URDs (User Requirements Documentation) more aligned to traditional waterfall projects.
You will play a key role in shaping, capturing, and delivering requirements across complex programmes within a secure and highly regulated environment. Working closely with stakeholders, developers, and operational teams, you will help design and implement systems that support hundreds of users across the Ministry of Defence and contribute directly to critical operational decision making. The successful candidate will operate across multiple disciplines and workstreams, leading analysis activities and supporting delivery throughout the project lifecycle. Alongside strong collaboration skills, you must be comfortable working independently and taking ownership of projects, deliverables, and outcomes.
