Are you a Senior BA who wants to sit at the heart of business change, working directly with senior stakeholders to challenge thinking, design real solutions, and make sure what gets built actually delivers value?

Hands-on experience with system rollouts, integrations and business change projects

Confidence managing stakeholders at all levels, internal and external

A knack for clear, high-quality written deliverables (process flows, data requirements, UI specs)

Comfort working autonomously in matrix project teams

Excellent communication skills and a business-outcome mindset, framing requirements around value, not just features
