Job description

Help Shape the Future of Hilton Foods

Now Hiring: 3 Business Analysts – People, Process & Performance

At Hilton Foods, transformation isn’t a buzzword — it’s our next chapter.

We’re a global powerhouse in food manufacturing, known for unmatched quality, pioneering innovation, and an unwavering commitment to our customers and consumers. But our ambition doesn’t stop on the production line.

We’re reinventing how our business thinks — and feels — about its people.

To help us do that, we’re looking for three dynamic Business Analysts to join our growing team. If you're passionate about connecting data to purpose, driving smarter decisions, and shaping future-fit operating models — this is your moment.

What’s the opportunity?

This isn’t your average BA role. You’ll be at the heart of our People & Culture transformation — working cross-functionally to translate complexity into clarity, insights into impact, and problems into progress. You’ll help reimagine our core processes and bring strategic thinking to life through evidence-led change.

Each of the three BAs will take a lead role across a dedicated business area — Finance & Procurement, Technology & Data, or Lean Manufacturing — while working as a cohesive team to ensure consistency and alignment. The mix of skills, perspectives, and expertise across the trio will be critical to delivering integrated, enterprise-wide solutions. Collaboration is at the core — and your unique strengths will help shape the whole.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Craft and refine end-to-end process maps across Finance (R2R), Procurement (P2P), IT, Technology and Lean Manufacturing
• Lead data discovery and analysis to build robust business cases and transformation blueprints
• Facilitate workshops and stakeholder sessions that turn talk into action
• Model costs, benefits and ROI with precision and purpose
• Help define governance and transition plans that keep progress on track
• Connect the dots between people, systems, and strategy to deliver lasting results

What You’ll Bring:

• A solid understanding of either:
• Finance and Procurement processes in large-scale environments
• Technology and data processes in complex environments
• Lean manufacturing and/or Sigma Six knowledge
• A sharp analytical mind — comfortable slicing through complexity to uncover what matters
• Expertise in process mapping and optimisation, ideally with experience using recognised methodologies such as APQC and Value Stream mapping
• Confidence in turning numbers into narratives — and insights into influence
• A knack for building trust and engagement with stakeholders across all levels
• Familiarity with ERP, procurement systems, and reporting tools (bonus points for hands-on experience)

Why Hilton Foods?

Here, analysis is more than a process — it’s a catalyst for change. It helps us understand complexity, uncover opportunities, and drive decisions that shape the future of our business.

As a Business Analyst, you’ll play a pivotal role in translating challenges into solutions, aligning people, processes, and technology to deliver meaningful transformation. If you're ready to lead change, influence strategy, and help reimagine how a global business operates — we want to hear from you.

We are not able to offer sponsorship for these roles.
