About the role

We are looking for a Senior Business Analyst to help shape and deliver public sector digital services. You will understand how services and processes work today, define what needs to change, and turn that into clear requirements the team can build.

• Run workshops and interviews with policy, operational and technical stakeholders.
• Write user stories, acceptance criteria and business rules, and manage the backlog with the product manager.

• Analyse data and evidence to size problems and support decisions.
• Keep requirements traceable from problem to delivered feature.
• Assess the impact of change on users, processes and systems.
• Support other business analysts and contribute to the BA community.

Essential skills and experience

• Significant experience as a business analyst in agile delivery teams.
• Strong process mapping skills, for example BPMN or service blueprints.
• Experience writing user stories, acceptance criteria and business rules.
• Strong facilitation and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to work with complex data and turn it into clear findings.
• Experience with tools such as Jira, Confluence and Miro.

Desirable

• UK government or public sector experience.
• Experience working across discovery, Alpha and beta phases.
• BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis or equivalent.
