Shape the future of Pet Care
At Pets at Home, we're on an exciting transformation journey. As we continue to evolve into the world's best pet care platform, technology and change are at the heart of everything we do.
We're looking for a Senior Business Analyst to join our Portfolio team and play a key role in shaping strategic initiatives across our business. This isn't just about documenting requirements. It's about understanding complex challenges, connecting people and ideas, influencing decisions, and helping turn ambitious plans into reality.
If you love solving problems, bringing clarity to complexity, and leading meaningful change, we'd love to hear from you.
A role with real influence
As a Senior Business Analyst, you'll operate across a diverse portfolio of business and technology initiatives, partnering with stakeholders from across the organisation to identify opportunities, define outcomes, and deliver lasting value.
You'll also lead and develop a team of Business Analysts, helping to build a high-performing BA community where collaboration, curiosity and continuous improvement thrive.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
