Henderson Scott is recruiting a Senior Strategic Business Analyst to support the second phase of a critical transformation programme.
Working as part of an experienced project team, you will lead the strategic analysis for a new phase of the programme. This is an early-stage shaping role focused on establishing business needs, intended outcomes, and organisational impacts—not a traditional systems or process BA position.
You will work closely with Director and Head-of-level stakeholders, helping them navigate competing priorities and agree on a clear, evidence-based direction.
Key responsibilities:
- Define and articulate the underlying business needs and desired outcomes.
- Assess the potential organisational, operational, and data impacts.
- Translate an emerging vision into a clear strategy and high-level blueprint.
- Shape options, recommendations, business cases, and strategic roadmaps.
- Identify the data and insight required to support effective decision-making.
- Facilitate workshops with senior stakeholders and secure agreement on priorities.
- Challenge constructively and maintain momentum within a complex stakeholder environment.
- Produce clear strategic outputs that enable senior leaders to make informed decisions.
- Work independently with limited oversight and light-touch senior support.
