Job description

Contract Business Analyst – Outside IR35 – Fully remote

We’re supporting a leading UK University with two major system implementations and need an experienced Business Analyst to support on two key projects over the next 6 months.

The two projects

• Implementation of a new curriculum and timetable management system.
• Migration of the Student Information System from on-premise to SaaS.

Both projects are mid-implementation, so we need someone confident hitting the ground running.

You’ll do:

• Lead BA activity across both projects - requirements, process design, and system configuration.
• Work closely with the Academic Quality and curriculum teams to streamline end-to-end processes.
• Support data migration and ensure clean, accurate transfer with external suppliers.
• Improve student-facing experiences through UX and user journey mapping.

You’ll need:

• Proven Business Analyst experience leading large-scale system implementations. Must have knowledge of curriculum or academic systems (e.g. WorkTribe, Akari, Courseloop, TimeEdit).
• Strong data and stakeholder engagement skills as well as the ability to map user journeys.

Join a collaborative, forward-thinking university team driving simplification and standardisation across key academic systems.
