Location: Hybrid – London 2 days per week (Farringdon)
The Opportunity:
Our client, an innovative technology business operating within the healthcare and life sciences sector, is looking for an experienced Business Analyst to join its growing team.
The successful candidate will play a key role in shaping solutions that meet business needs, working closely with senior stakeholders, Developers, Testers, and wider cross-functional teams throughout the full delivery lifecycle.
This isn't a traditional Business Analyst role. Alongside leading requirements gathering and solution design, you'll coordinate Agile ceremonies, lead a small team of Developers, and help improve standards and ways of working across the wider delivery function. You'll also work closely with senior leadership to develop prototypes that help bring requirements to life, giving Developers and Testers a much clearer understanding of how proposed solutions should look and operate.
This role would suit someone who enjoys getting into the detail of complex technical problems and wants the opportunity to have a genuine influence over both solutions and delivery practices.
Key Responsibilities:
Business Analysis & Solution Design
- Lead business analysis activities across projects and initiatives
- Elicit, analyse and challenge business requirements to uncover underlying business needs
- Produce clear requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and process flows
- Use Gherkin-style acceptance criteria where appropriate
- Develop solution designs and supporting analysis documentation

Technical Analysis
- Work with technical teams to assess solution options and technical dependencies
- Apply knowledge of APIs, system integrations, and client-side web applications
- Develop a strong understanding of data models and how data supports business processes
- Produce basic UML diagrams and other analysis artefacts
- Use tools such as Azure DevOps and Claude Code to support analysis, solution exploration, and delivery
Stakeholder Management & Continuous Improvement
- Facilitate workshops and meetings with technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Build strong relationships across all levels of the organisation
- Challenge requirements constructively to ensure solutions align with business objectives
- Drive continuous improvement across standards, processes, and team efficiency
What We're Looking For:
Essential Experience
- Proven experience as a Business Analyst, operating at a senior or lead level
- Strong understanding of Agile principles and experience coordinating Agile ceremonies
- Experience leading or coordinating a small team or sub-team
- Experience working in a hands-on technical role (development / scripting etc.)
- Experience working with senior stakeholders to shape solutions and improve requirements
- Good working knowledge of APIs and system integrations
- Understanding of client-facing web applications and how front-end functionality supports business processes
- Experience creating basic UML diagrams and structured analysis models
- Strong understanding of data models and data mapping
