• Challenging assumptions, identifying opportunities and making evidence-based recommendationsFacilitating workshops and bringing diverse stakeholders together around shared outcomes
• Supporting projects through delivery, testing, implementation and business adoption
• Coaching and mentoring Business Analysts and championing best-practice analysis across DBT

The Fit

You'll also bring:

• 5+ years' experience as a Senior Business Analyst, including coaching or mentoring others
• Strong requirements elicitation, process analysis and stakeholder engagement skills
• Experience supporting initiatives across the full project lifecycle
• Confidence working across Agile, Waterfall or hybrid delivery environments
• Excellent facilitation and communication skills, with the ability to translate between technical and non-technical audiences

A tertiary qualification in Business, IT, Business Analysis or a related discipline is preferred, along with relevant BA certification or experience with tools such as SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Power BI or requirements/process mapping platforms.

If you're ready to move beyond simply analysing problems and want to shape better ways of working across a global organisation, we'd love to hear from you.

Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and the role may be filled before the closing date.
