Description
Software Development Business Analyst
We’re looking for a Software Development Business Analyst who’s passionate about turning complex challenges into simple, meaningful solutions. If you love collaborating, asking great questions, and shaping products that truly help colleagues and customers, this could be your next step.
Why this role matters
As part of a cross-functional product squad, you’ll work hand-in-hand with Product Owners, Developers, Designers and Testers to bring ideas to life. You’ll help us understand business needs, map journeys, spot opportunities for improvements and translate these into clear, actionable requirements that support brilliant digital experiences — whether that’s in store, online or for our colleagues.
What You’ll Be Doing
Discovery & problem solving
- Explore business and customer challenges to find opportunities for improvement
- Analyse risks, impacts and benefits so teams can make the right decisions
- Collaborate with stakeholders across Pets to uncover and refine requirements
- Create clear, friendly and useful documentation that brings processes to life
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.
