Senior Business Analyst | Agile Digital Transformation | Leeds (Hybrid) | 12-Month Contract

We’re looking for a Senior Business Analyst to join a ground-breaking public sector initiative designed to improve employment outcomes and drive inclusive economic growth across the UK.

• This is a contract role based in Leeds, with 2 days per week in the office.
• Length: 12 months
• Must have previous experience working within the public sector

We're forming two new agile, multi-disciplinary teams to deliver data-driven, citizen-centric services supporting adults to access higher-quality, higher-paid, and more productive work. This work is at the heart of a broader national effort to reduce unemployment and tackle regional inequality.

The Role: Senior Business Analyst

As a Senior BA, you’ll help translate user needs into meaningful product development, shaping services used by people across the country. Working in a complex “system of systems” environment, you’ll use Agile methodologies to drive forward research-informed, test-and-learn solutions.

What You’ll Do

• Take functional ownership of service vision elements and convert them into user-informed business processes.
• Lead workshops, interviews, and user research activities to uncover and document business needs.
• Create epics, features, user stories, and acceptance criteria using best practice formats (e.g., “as a...”, “GIVEN, WHEN, THEN”).
• Work closely with stakeholders across policy, strategy, operations, and change teams to align on outcomes.
• Influence service design across both digital platforms and operational delivery models.
• Mentor junior BAs and contribute actively to the BA community of practice.

Key Experience & Skills

• Significant experience in large-scale, complex digital transformation programmes.
• Strong command of Agile principles, with the ability to embed and advocate these practices.
• Exceptional stakeholder engagement and communication skills across technical and non-technical teams.
• Proficiency in business process modelling, requirements gathering, and test scenario development.
• Experience supporting business case development and cost/benefit analysis.
• A solid understanding of software development lifecycles and service design approaches.
