Senior Business Analyst
Birmingham | Hybrid
At Compass UK & Ireland, our Digital & Technology (D&T) team is at the forefront of driving innovation – delivering cutting-edge digital solutions that improve operational performance, elevate user experience, and unlock commercial value across the business.
We’re now looking for a Senior Business Analyst to play a pivotal role in shaping and evolving a large-scale omni-channel digital product. This is a high-impact opportunity to move beyond traditional BA work and influence how a product is defined, built and scaled.
The Role
This is not a typical Business Analyst role.
You’ll own discovery and analysis for an evolving digital product – working closely with senior stakeholders to define problems, bring structure to ambiguity, and ensure every piece of work is grounded in clear business value before it enters delivery.
Partnering closely with the Principal Product Manager, you’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy, bridging business needs and technical delivery while helping shape the product as it matures.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As the product develops, you’ll gain increasing exposure to product ownership – offering a clear pathway into a more product-led career.
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead discovery and analysis to define business problems, outcomes and success criteria Engage senior stakeholders to understand processes, challenges and opportunities Own and shape high-quality, outcome-focused requirements for delivery Translate complex needs into structured, prioritised deliverables for engineering teams Act as a key interface between business stakeholders and offshore engineering teams Support backlog refinement and sprint readiness Identify risks, dependencies and trade-offs, enabling informed decision-making Validate delivered solutions against business intent and capture ongoing insight Contribute to continuous improvement and future product iterations
