About the Role
As a Senior Business Analyst, you will be a problem framer and synthesizer, turning research, stakeholder input, and data into clear options, recommendations, and practical paths to value. You will partner closely with Product, Delivery, Engineering, and Design to shape the 'why/what', enable the 'how', and de-risk delivery end-to-end. You will deliver for clients today and contribute to building the BA capability within the function as the team grows.
Responsibilities
- Frame the problem & focus areas: Rapidly clarify the problem situation, define hypotheses, and identify the few levers that matter.
- Shape options into solution & decision: Build robust options analyses tied to strategy, using clear criteria and stated assumptions.
- Build trust with clients: Create a dynamic that quickly builds strong client relationships by delivering high quality work, actively listening to concerns, and picking up on and responding to feedback.
- Influence decisions through narrative and facilitation: Set the right forums, run crisp workshops, and use compelling narrative to secure decisions.
- Stay end-to-end & protect value: Maintain continuity from discovery through delivery, refine scope, ensure deliverables serve outcomes, actively manage risks/assumptions, and adapt approach to keep intended outcomes and benefits intact.
- Measure what matters: Help teams clarify expected benefits, agree what 'success' looks like, and support the handover to BAU to ensure the change is embedded and outcomes can be demonstrated.
