Job description

Who We Are:

AND Digital are a tech company focused on accelerating digital delivery and dedicated to closing the digital skills gap. We've been helping organisations build better digital products and stronger digital teams since 2014.

We believe our work should always leave a legacy for the client. We do this through close relationships with our offices (or 'Clubs') so that our partners are always prioritised by a regional team close to them.

This unique model has driven success for our clients and ourselves, evidenced by our remarkable organic growth since 2014. Today we number more than 1,300 people with Clubs all over the UK and Europe with plans for global expansion in the next couple of years.

Join us - and help us fulfil our mission to close the world's digital skills gap.

What you’ll bring to the table:

We're looking for a high-calibre data-focused Business Analyst / Consultant who can sit at the intersection of business, data and technology, helping clients turn business problems into data products that deliver real value.

The role is primarily about acting as the conduit between business stakeholders and technical/data engineering teams. You’ll work with stakeholders to understand the problem they are trying to solve, challenge and clarify requirements, and translate these into clear requirements and outcomes that engineers and data teams can work with.

You’ll stay close to delivery, working with technical teams to answer questions, resolve ambiguity and make sure what is being built meets the underlying business need. Just as importantly, you’ll work with users and stakeholders to land and embed data products, driving adoption, gathering feedback and making sure they are actually being used and delivering the intended value.

Key skills and experience include:

• Strong business analysis, consulting and problem‑solving skills, ideally in data, analytics or digital environments
• Ability to work with stakeholders to uncover the real business problem rather than simply capture stated requirements
• Ability to translate between business and technical teams, turning sometimes ambiguous needs into clear, actionable requirements
• Good understanding of data, analytics and data products - enough to work effectively with data engineers, analysts and architects and get into the detail when needed
• Strong stakeholder management, facilitation and communication skills, including confidence working directly with client stakeholders
• Experience supporting products through the full lifecycle, from discovery and requirements through delivery, adoption and continuous improvement
• A strong focus on business outcomes, adoption and value, rather than seeing delivery as complete once a technical solution has been built
• Curious, proactive and comfortable taking ownership, challenging thinking and bringing structure to ambiguous problems

This would suit someone who has built strong foundations as a Business Analyst, Data Analyst, Product Analyst or Data Consultant and is ready to take on more ownership, client responsibility and leadership within a consulting environment.

Why join AND Digital?

• We have three values: wonder, share, and delight. These values inform how we work with clients, and our culture: what it feels like to work for AND. We believe collaboration, ambition, curiosity and fun can drive innovation by creating a better environment for problem-solving.

By joining AND, we’ll provide:

• Opportunities to work on projects with big clients and the chance to produce meaningful work that makes a difference to people’s lives.
• A "Blended Working" model, meaning you will be able to work in a range of locations from; your home, in your clubhouse, on a client, as well as just a change of scenery.
• A dedicated career scrum team, designed to help you reach your career goals and develop the skills you need to be your best self.
• An annual budget for training and upskilling, including allocated days off so you don't have to study in your own free time.
• Monthly and quarterly team socials - on us - ranging from after work drinks, to driving experience days with your fellow club members.
• A safe environment for you to be yourself and challenge yourself.

Benefits

• 25 days holiday allowance + bank holidays
• 2 days per year for volunteering
• Share scheme
• A £1000 flexifund to use on a personalised list of benefits such Gym membership, Cycle to Work Scheme, Health, dental and optical cash plan
• PLUS many more
