As a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, you will play a critical role in ensuring technology investments are strategically aligned, well-governed, and deliver measurable business outcomes.
You will lead a team of senior Business Analysts and technology advisors, providing direction, standards, and quality assurance across advisory activities. The role focuses heavily on early-stage ideation, discovery, and demand shaping, translating complex and often ambiguous business problems into clear, actionable pathways for delivery.

You will guide the development of solution options, investment cases, and roadmap inputs, supporting decision-making at an executive level.
A key aspect of the role is uplifting the BA/advisory practice, embedding consistent standards, templates, and methodologies to ensure high-quality, repeatable outputs across the function.
