Job Description
Our clients ask us to make sense of complex, ambiguous problem spaces across digital transformation initiatives, spanning products, platforms, operating models, and data. As a Senior BA here, you’re a problem framer and synthesiser, not an order taker, who turns research, stakeholder input, and data into clear options, a recommendation, and a practical path to value. You partner closely with Product, Delivery, Engineering and Design to shape the “why/what”, enable the “how”, and de-risk delivery end to end.
As a Senior Business Analyst you will deliver for clients today and lean in to building the BA capability here, growing their careers alongside the function as TDG grows.
Qualifications
Who you are:
- A consulting calibre BA: who thrives in ambiguity and brings structured, hypothesis driven thinking to messy problems. You’re not a ticket writer; you create clarity, choices, and decisions.
- Industry relevance: Experienced working to the GOV.UK Service Standard or within the public sector.
- Strategic + analytical: you’re comfortable stepping into ambiguous problem spaces and connecting them to tangible, measurable business outcomes. You help clients break these down into clear, step‑by‑step deliverables, bringing analytical rigour so the work can be planned and delivered with confidence.
- Translational: you turn analysis into meaningful insights that underpin decision making. You work with Product and clients to prioritise benefits and trade‑offs across options and outline practical routes to value. Slides and docs are vehicles for judgement, not the job.
- Stakeholder partner: you build credibility and trust quickly, operating as a trusted advisor and collaborator. You tailor engagement to context and seniority, and you use concise, outcome-led interactions to help stakeholders align and make decisions at pace.
- Delivery pragmatic: you’ve worked effectively in Agile environments, but you can flex your approach to context. You stay focused on client needs and protect outcomes throughout the delivery lifecycle, regardless of framework.
- Digital transformation experience: you’ve led analysis and direction‑setting on complex digital programmes, working across the transformation lifecycle - from early problem framing and research, through analysis and stakeholder alignment, into shaping solution direction and supporting delivery end‑to‑end.
- Mindset: you’re outcomes-focused, commercially aware, and comfortable working in the open - sharing your thinking early and being transparent about potential pitfalls. You bring no ego: you listen carefully, seek feedback early, and adapt your approach based on what you hear.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
How You Operate
- Frame the problem & focus areas: Rapidly clarify the problem situation, define hypotheses, and identify the few levers that matter. Stay outcomes‑oriented - keep the bigger picture visible and regularly check scope and decisions against it as delivery progresses.
- Shape options into solution & decision: Build robust options analyses tied to strategy, using clear criteria and stated assumptions. Compare benefits, costs, risks, dependencies, and constraints, and produce decision-ready recommendations.
- Build trust with clients: Create a dynamic that quickly builds strong client relationships by delivering high quality work, actively listening to concerns, and picking up on and responding to feedback.
- Influence decisions through narrative and facilitation: Set the right forums, run crisp workshops, and use compelling narrative to secure decisions - pitch proposals, don’t just present information.
- Stay end-to-end & protect value: Maintain continuity from discovery through delivery: refine scope, ensure deliverables serve outcomes (not the other way around), actively manage risks/assumptions, keep documentation lean and useful, and adapt approach to keep the intended outcomes and benefits intact.
- Measure what matters: Help teams clarify expected benefits, agree what “success” looks like, and support the handover to BAU to ensure the change is embedded and outcomes can be demonstrated.
