We can offer great career progression opportunities, the ability to be based anywhere across the UK, benefits which you can flex to meet your needs, and training and development opportunities.

What you'll be doing
- Leading user requirements elicitation, translating insights into epics, features, user stories, and clear roadmaps.
- Facilitating workshops and discovery activities to shape problem statements, validate assumptions, and define future-state processes.
- Producing high-quality BA artefacts including process maps (using Business Process Model Notation or Unified Modeling Language), service design outputs, as-is/to-be analysis, and acceptance criteria.
- Managing and refining backlogs, ensuring requirements are prioritised, understood, and ready for delivery.
- Building strong stakeholder relationships, ensuring clear communication and effective engagement throughout each project.
- Applying Agile or Waterfall approaches as appropriate, ensuring assignments are delivered to agreed time, quality, and financial measures.
What you’ll bring
- Current SC clearance, or eligibility to obtain it.
- Significant experience working as a Senior Business Analyst in large or complex environments.
- Strong experience in requirements engineering, including elicitation, user stories (using INVEST principles), and definition of acceptance criteria.
- Practical experience using Jira, Confluence, or Azure DevOps for requirements management.
- Solid ability to produce process models, data analysis, options evaluations, and structured documentation.
- A good understanding of IT systems and software development practices to bridge technical and business needs.

It searches the market for you

It would be great if you had
- Experience working within government or public-sector environments.
- Familiarity with broader BA toolsets, such as wireframing or prototyping tools, to support early-stage solution definition.
- Experience using collaborative platforms (for example, Miro or virtual workshop tools) during elicitation and engagement activities.
