This is more than just a job. It is a mission.

As a Junior Business Analyst, you will play a key role in helping our customers deliver meaningful change, often through the implementation of innovative technology solutions.

  • Produce high-quality documentation to enable effective delivery of change initiatives without prescribing solutions
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including developers, testers and systems engineers
  • Facilitate meetings and contribute to stakeholder engagement and communication activities
  • Evaluate solutions against business needs and recommend improvements to processes, systems or ways of working

What we are looking for

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work in complex or ambiguous situations
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to tailor your approach to different audiences
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities
  • A proactive, inquisitive mindset with a willingness to learn and develop in business analysis
  • Experience working in collaborative team environments
Desirable experience
  • Exposure to Agile delivery environments and writing user stories or tickets
  • Familiarity with tools such as Jira, GitLab or Confluence
  • Experience or interest in the defence or security sectors
We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every requirement. If you are curious, motivated and eager to learn, we would love to hear from you.
