Job description

Senior Business Systems Analyst

Location: Hybrid, UK | Experience: 8-12 years | Type: Permanent, Full-time

Shape the Future of Enterprise Data Architecture

Are you a seasoned Business Systems Analyst who thrives at the intersection of data, technology, and business transformation? We're looking for someone who doesn't just document requirements—you uncover insights, bridge technical complexity with business clarity, and drive meaningful change.

Join our Change & Transformation team where your expertise in data systems will directly influence how we architect, analyse, and leverage enterprise data to power smarter decisions.

What You'll Do

Drive Data Model Excellence You'll assess the impact of new data models across our technology ecosystem, identifying ripple effects on systems, tools, and processes. Your technical documentation will guide development teams while your impact assessments will prepare stakeholders for change.

Be the Bridge Between Worlds Acting as the vital link between data architects, developers, and business leaders, you'll translate complex technical concepts into clear business language. Your stakeholder management skills will ensure everyone—from C-suite to end users—understands both the 'what' and the 'why' behind our data initiatives.

Lead Analysis & Implementation From capturing GUI requirements to creating comprehensive test plans, you'll own the business analysis lifecycle on data-driven projects. You'll map processes, design user experiences through wireframes, and ensure seamless integration across platforms.

Who You Are

You bring 8-12 years of Business Analysis experience with at least 5 years deeply embedded in data systems and data-driven transformation. You understand relational database design, SQL, and data modelling—not just conceptually, but practically.

Your technical toolkit includes enterprise architecture knowledge, API integration experience, and comfort with Azure cloud platforms. You've worked in agile environments where documentation meets iteration, and stakeholder management is an art you've mastered.

Most importantly, you possess that rare ability to simplify complexity. You can explain a technical architecture change to a non-technical executive just as effectively as you can challenge a data architect's assumptions.

Why This Role Matters

This isn't just another BA position. You'll work on cutting-edge data architecture projects that fundamentally reshape how the business operates. Collaborating with high-performing teams across architecture, analytics, and development, you'll see the direct impact of your work on enterprise-wide decision-making.

We offer flexible working arrangements, a supportive culture that values continuous learning, and the opportunity to work with some of the most exciting data challenges in the industry.

Ready to Make Your Mark?

If you're looking for a role where your business analysis expertise drives real transformation—where data models aren't just technical exercises but strategic business assets—we want to hear from you.

Apply now and let's discuss how you can shape the future of our data landscape.
