The opportunity

The Regional Practice Lead - Business Analysis will play a pivotal leadership role in shaping and driving the strategic direction of both the Business Analysis (BA) function and Professional Services across the region. This role will combine hands-on technical expertise with visionary leadership to deliver exceptional outcomes for clients while fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration, and innovation. You’ll lead the region’s BA function, ensure the integration of business analysis and technical delivery strategies, and align local activities with global objectives. The role reports directly into the Regional Head of Delivery and will evolve over time to deliver scalable solutions and high-quality client results.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Team Leadership & Development:

• Lead the recruitment, development, and retention of a high-performing, diverse team across business analysis and quality assurance functions.
• Provide coaching, mentorship, and growth opportunities to team members, driving performance and career development.
• Champion a results-driven culture, ensuring teams take ownership of outcomes and collaborate to deliver value to clients.
• Establish and promote best practices for business analysis, technical delivery, and quality assurance across the region.

• Collaborate with senior technical stakeholders and delivery managers to ensure that both business requirements and technical solutions align seamlessly.
• Oversee resource management, ensuring efficient allocation for internal and partner-driven projects.

4. Client Engagement & Delivery Excellence:

• Lead client workshops and strategic functional design sessions to provide assurance in the technical and business solutions being developed.
• Manage risks, escalations, and quality assurance processes to ensure that client deliverables exceed expectations.
• Act as a key point of contact for clients, addressing any concerns and proactively resolving challenges.

5. Innovation & Continuous Improvement:

• Promote innovation within the region by leading the development of new features, technical capabilities, and methodologies that improve the delivery of solutions.
• Foster an environment of knowledge sharing, ensuring that best practices and lessons learned are consistently implemented across teams.

This role blends the leadership and strategic focus of a Regional Business Analysis Practice Lead with the technical expertise, client orientation, and solution-driven mindset of a Technical Business Analyst.
