Social Housing Technology & Transformation Recruitment Team Lead

As a specialist recruitment partner within the housing sectors, I’m excited to be working alongside a respected social housing provider currently embarking on a transformation journey — and they’re looking for a Lead Business Analyst to guide the way.

This isn’t your typical BA role. It's a career-defining opportunity for someone who thrives on building structure, creating processes, and leading others through change. If you're someone who enjoys shaping how business analysis is delivered at an organisational level — and bringing people with you on that journey — this could be the role you've been waiting for.

The Role

Title: Lead Business Analyst

Location: 90% Remote (West Midlands-based head office for occasional collaboration)

Salary: £65,000 per annum

Function Split: 30% hands-on Business Analysis | 70% People & Function Leadership

The Challenge & Opportunity

You’ll join at a pivotal time, where there’s huge potential to make a lasting impact. The Business Analysis function needs a clear operating model, consistent methodology, and strong leadership. Your mission?

• Define and implement frameworks, tools, and best practices for business analysis.
• Lead, coach, and mentor a growing team of BAs — building a high-performing, empowered function.
• Collaborate closely with senior stakeholders to shape strategic priorities.
• Ensure BA practices truly support customer-focused service design and delivery.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience as a Lead or Senior Business Analyst, ideally within large, complex environments.
• A passion for people leadership, coaching, and developing others.
• Demonstrable success in setting up or restructuring a Business Analysis function.
• Comfortable operating across the strategic and operational, influencing at all levels.
• Ideally some exposure to the social housing, non-profit, or public sector – though not essential.

This is more than a job — it’s your chance to:

• Shape the future of business analysis within a purpose-driven organisation.
• Work almost entirely remotely, with flexibility to suit your life.
• Join a values-led organisation where your work makes a real difference to communities.
• Be empowered to lead change, innovate, and make your mark.

If you're a Business Analysis leader who wants to build something meaningful, I’d love to hear from you. Apply today or get in touch directly for a confidential conversation.
