French-Speaking Senior Business Analyst (Fluent French & English Essential)
Contract | 6 months | Up to £600/day (Outside IR35) | London – 2-3 days per week onsite
Fluent French is essential for this role. You’ll work day to day with French-speaking business stakeholders, IT teams and vendors, in writing and in meetings.
We’re partnering with a major international transport operator to hire a Senior Business Analyst for a 6-month contract in its change portfolio. You’ll own the analysis end to end: challenging how things work today, defining what good looks like, and seeing it through testing, go-live and handover to operations.
What You’ll Do
- Review and challenge existing business processes, identify inefficiencies and propose improved target processes
- Secure stakeholder commitment to target processes and RACI
- Elicit, analyse and document business requirements (user stories, use cases) in Confluence
- Translate validated requirements into detailed functional specifications
- Work with architects and developers to validate functional designs against requirements and architecture
- Define and run test strategies, write test cases, and support defect and root cause analysis through testing and post-implementation
- Model processes in Bizzdesign and contribute to the enterprise process repository
- Support transition to run, including documentation, knowledge transfer and end-user support
- Flag risks and issues to the project manager with proposed mitigations
- Coordinate across business, IT and external vendors, and report on requirements status, progress and risk
- Contribute detailed requirements input to backlog refinement and prioritisation
- Contribute to project closure and lessons learned
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.
