Job description

Business Analyst - Radstock (Hybrid Working) - £45,000 - £50,000

We’re looking for an experienced Business Analyst to join a growing organisation undergoing a range of technology and business change initiatives.

This isn’t a role for someone looking to take their first step into Business Analysis. We’re looking for an established BA who can quickly build credibility, engage stakeholders at every level, and bring structure and clarity to complex projects.

You’ll become the key link between business stakeholders, project teams and IT, helping to shape solutions, improve processes and raise the standard of Business Analysis across the organisation.

If you enjoy asking challenging questions, uncovering hidden requirements and helping businesses make better technology decisions, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Lead requirements gathering activities across a variety of technology and business change projects.
• Facilitate workshops and stakeholder discussions to uncover business needs and objectives.
• Produce clear, high-quality business requirements, functional specifications, user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Analyse existing processes and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Maintain requirements traceability throughout the project lifecycle.
• Work closely with Project Managers, technical teams and business stakeholders to ensure successful delivery.
• Support software, website, systems implementation and digital transformation projects.
• Challenge assumptions, identify risks and ensure solutions address the underlying business need.
• Contribute to the development of consistent Business Analysis standards, documentation and best practice.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience working as a Business Analyst on technology-focused projects.
• Strong requirements elicitation, analysis and documentation skills.
• Experience working across both Agile and traditional project delivery environments.
• Excellent stakeholder management and relationship-building abilities.
• Confidence engaging with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong workshop facilitation, communication and presentation skills.
• Experience supporting software delivery, website projects, digital transformation or system implementation initiatives.
• A naturally inquisitive mindset with the ability to challenge constructively and think beyond the obvious solution.

Desirable Experience

• Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps or similar tools.
• Experience within manufacturing, operational or logistics environments.
• Exposure to process improvement and business change initiatives.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to take ownership of Business Analysis within a business where your contribution will be highly visible.

You’ll work closely with project and technology leadership, gain exposure to a wide variety of projects and have the opportunity to influence how requirements, processes and change are delivered across the organisation.

The role would suit someone who enjoys operating as a trusted advisor, building strong stakeholder relationships and delivering tangible business value through technology.

Benefits

• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Pension scheme
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
• Cycle to Work scheme
• On-site gym
• Weekly yoga classes
• On-site parking

Hybrid Working

The role is initially office-based to support onboarding, stakeholder engagement and business understanding. Once established, hybrid working is available, typically 2-3 days per week onsite.

Occasional travel to other UK locations may be required depending on project needs.
