The Opportunity:

This is an exciting opportunity for a Business Analyst with active eDV clearance to join a growing team delivering business change, cyber security, and digital transformation programmes within the UK Intelligence Community.

The role offers excellent opportunities for mentoring, professional development, and career progression. Regular on-site attendance is an essential requirement, with up to three days per week at the client site. Applicants must hold active eDV clearance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in conducting stakeholder interviews, business process workshops, surveys, and document and data analysis activities.
• Analyse and evaluate information from multiple sources, identifying key insights, resolving conflicting requirements, and translating complex information into clear recommendations.
• Develop reports, dashboards, and visualisation tools to support informed decision-making and performance monitoring.
• Contribute to the redesign and optimisation of business processes and policies, supporting operational effectiveness and cyber security risk mitigation.
• Assist with the implementation of new processes, systems, and ways of working, ensuring successful business change adoption across the organisation.
