Come and join us as an insightful and innovative Technical Business Analyst, and be part of something life-changing - helping people with sight loss live the life they choose
About the Role:
As a Technical Business Analyst at Guide Dogs, you’ll safeguard Guide Dogs’ operational continuity, ensuring future transformation decisions can proceed safely. You will be an expert in analysing complex systems, processes, and data flows, with a strong ability to identify cross-system dependencies, assess change impacts, and evaluate operational risk. You'll be highly skilled at translating technical and operational complexity into clear, governance-ready documentation and models, while confidently challenging assumptions and operating effectively in complex, undocumented environments. You will play a huge part in ensuring everything we do enables us to deliver on our purpose and exceed expectations.
This is a hybrid role, combining both remote and office-based working. The successful candidate will be required to work from and have the ability to access our Leamington Spa, London, and Reading offices as business needs require. Working hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm.
