• Produce structured analysis of processes, operating models, technical landscapes, interfaces, data requirements and cross-functional dependencies to support solution design and delivery readiness.
• Define, plan and help drive business analysis activities and timelines, operating independently where methods or precedents are not fully established.
• Champion and strengthen delivery governance, requirements quality, traceability, approval discipline and consistent use of BA standards across initiatives.
• Coach junior and mid-level business analysts, acting as a trusted resource for analysis methods, stakeholder engagement, artefact quality and delivery discipline.

• Influence senior stakeholders by communicating complex analysis, difficult trade-offs and recommended options clearly, constructively and with appropriate evidence.

• Experience working in a global organisation.

Required Technical Skills

• Advanced analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to use qualitative and quantitative insight to assess complex issues and support structured decision-making across transformation and change activity.
• Ability to think and plan at both strategic and detailed levels, connecting initiative-level analysis to wider business, technology, governance and organisational objectives.
• Advanced requirements management skills, including elicitation, prioritisation, traceability, change control, approval and validation across complex delivery lifecycles.
• Strong impact analysis and business case capability, supporting investment decisions, benefits understanding, risk assessment and change prioritisation.
• Strong process mapping, process improvement and operating model analysis skills, with the ability to identify improvement opportunities and support practical implementation planning.
