What’s your possible?
At Northrop Grumman UK, you are part of a team driving innovation where it matters most, solving tomorrow’s challenges and shaping the technology solutions of the future. It is what we call Defining Possible.
This mindset goes beyond our customer solutions. It underpins how we support your career development and the impact we make in our communities.
This is more than just a job. It is a mission.
As a Junior Business Analyst, you will play a key role in helping our customers deliver meaningful change, often through the implementation of innovative technology solutions. Working as part of a collaborative Northrop Grumman UK team, you will support the delivery of complex programmes across the defence and security sector.
You will bring clarity to ambiguity, working closely with stakeholders to understand business challenges, capture requirements, and ensure solutions deliver real value. This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their career who enjoys problem-solving, thrives in dynamic environments, and wants to develop professionally within a mission-led organisation.
What you will be doing
- Work with stakeholders to gather, analyse and document business and technical requirements
- Support the translation of complex business challenges into clear, structured insights that inform decision making
- Produce high-quality documentation to enable effective delivery of change initiatives without prescribing solutions
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including developers, testers and systems engineers
- Facilitate meetings and contribute to stakeholder engagement and communication activities
- Evaluate solutions against business needs and recommend improvements to processes, systems or ways of working
