Senior Business Analyst
£600-650 per day | Initial 3-6 Month Contract, extendable
DV or SC Cleared
Ncounter is supporting a major Defence programme seeking experienced Senior Business Analysts to join a growing team delivering complex digital transformation across some of the UK's most secure environments.
This is an opportunity to work on programmes that directly support national security, collaborating with senior military and civilian stakeholders to shape the future of Defence technology. You'll be responsible for understanding complex operational requirements, translating business needs into deliverable outcomes, and ensuring technology programmes remain aligned with user needs throughout delivery.
About the Role
The ideal candidate will already understand the Defence landscape, having delivered projects within MOD environments and being comfortable working across multiple secure locations throughout the UK. Travel to MOD sites will typically be required every couple of weeks, offering exposure to a wide range of programmes and stakeholders.
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.

We're particularly interested in candidates who bring a combination of active DV Clearance, previous MOD delivery experience, current or recently active MODNet access, and an ex-military background.
