As the leading provider of energy and decarbonisation services to the public sector, our goal is to always push the boundaries; we’re continuously exploring new solutions and technologies to make sure our services and customer journeys are always more efficient - for us and our customers. While we strive to deliver on our goals, we also recognise how important it is to create an inviting, inclusive and thriving place for our employees to work.

Why this role matters

You will play a key role in identifying opportunities to improve how LASER operates, strengthening the link between business processes, systems and data to support better decision making, operational efficiency and measurable outcomes.

This is a role where analytical thinking, collaboration and problem solving are essential, with responsibility for translating business requirements into effective solutions that support operational efficiency, service improvement and business value.

• Facilitating workshops and gathering requirements to support projects and change initiatives.
• Developing and maintaining clear process documentation, including an end-to-end process library with agreed ownership and review points.
• Designing and delivering solutions using Microsoft Power Platform and Microsoft 365 tools.
• Collaborating with Systems, Data and Development teams to implement effective technical solutions.
• Preparing reports, dashboards and management information to support decision making and measure business benefits.
• Supporting business cases by assessing benefits, risks, costs and expected outcomes.
• Supporting projects through planning, testing, governance and implementation activities.
• Promoting continuous improvement and best practice business analysis methodologies.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience in Business Analysis, process improvement, data analysis or a related discipline.
• Strong experience gathering requirements, analysing processes and delivering effective business solutions.
• Excellent Microsoft Power Platform and Microsoft 365 skills, including experience using tools such as Power Automate.
• The ability to translate complex information into clear recommendations, process maps and practical solutions.
• Confidence building relationships and constructively challenging stakeholders when required.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• A proactive and solutions-focused approach.
• Experience within the utilities or energy sector would be beneficial but is not essential.

What you’ll get in return

• Salary of £33,000 per annum
• 25 days annual leave, increasing to 27 after 4 years
• Birthday Day Off
• One Concessionary Day off during the Christmas Period
• Life assurance cover (4x salary)
• Pension scheme with 4% employer contribution
