Job description

Senior IT Business Analyst

Up to £70,000 + Bonus

Hybrid (3 days in office per week, office is South of London, within the M25)

Talentedge is proud to be partnering once again with one of the most innovative and fast-paced organisations in global sport and entertainment as they look to hire an IT Business Analyst to join their growing team.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the heart of a world-class technology environment, supporting a rapidly expanding delivery pipeline across digital and data initiatives.

The Opportunity

With a significant increase in project demand, the business is investing heavily in Business Analysis as a core capability. This role sits right at the centre of delivery – bridging business needs and technical execution, ensuring requirements are clearly defined, understood, and delivered with impact. You’ll work across a variety of initiatives, particularly within Technical & data environments, collaborating with stakeholders across multiple functions.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Acting as the key link between business and technology teams, translating needs into clear, structured requirements
• Leading requirements elicitation through workshops, interviews, and analysis techniques
• Producing high-quality artefacts including:
• User stories, epics, and acceptance criteria
• Process maps (as-is / to-be)
• Data and workflow models
• Supporting solution definition alongside architects and developers
• Ensuring traceability from business need through to delivery and testing
• Facilitating workshops and driving structured discussions (e.g. question frameworks, matrices)
• Supporting UAT and validation, ensuring outputs meet business expectations
• Working with data-focused teams on customer data, integrations, and governance considerations

What They’re Looking For

This role is all about real‑world Business Analysis capability & the ability to demonstrate BA techniques and frameworks, not simply writing user stories.

• Demonstrable experience as a Business Analyst in technology or digital environments
• Strong understanding of core BA techniques (BABOK-aligned or equivalent)
• Ability to confidently discuss and apply Process mapping (as-is / to-be), Requirements engineering and Stakeholder management
• Experience working with technical teams and translating technical requirements
• Comfortable operating in an agnostic environment and able to adapt methods rather than rely on one framework
• Exposure to data-focused analysis or digital channels is highly beneficial
