Mid-Level Business Analyst

Manchester - Hybrid

Are you an ambitious Business Analyst who wants more ownership, visibility and influence?

I am working with a wonderful rapidly growing organisation that is reshaping how it delivers services to hundreds of thousands of customers. As the business expands, it is building a modern delivery function designed around agile, cross-functional squads and it needs adaptable Business Analysts who can help drive that growth.

You won't be joining a traditional environment where change is slowed down by layers of approval. You'll work closely with decision-makers, take ideas from initial problem through to implementation, and see the direct impact of the solutions you help create.

What You'll Be Doing

Take ownership of business problems and help turn them into practical, deliverable solutions.
Work closely with operational teams, senior stakeholders, Project Managers and Developers.
Run focused workshops to understand challenges, define requirements and agree priorities.
Break complex requirements into clear user stories and manageable pieces of work.
Help squads define minimum viable solutions that can be delivered quickly and improved over time.
Support projects throughout the full delivery lifecycle rather than handing requirements over and stepping away.
Create test plans, complete QA activity and guide business users confidently through UAT.
Support the implementation and adoption of new processes and platform functionality.
Produce clear user guides, training materials and straightforward explanations of proposed changes.
Identify risks, dependencies and opportunities while keeping stakeholders informed of progress.
Challenge established ways of working and bring forward ideas for improvement, automation and innovation.

What We're Looking For

Experience in a Business Analyst position.
Experience working in a fast-moving, changing or growing organisation.
A proactive mindset and the confidence to take responsibility for delivering outcomes.
Strong requirements-gathering, workshop facilitation and stakeholder-management skills.
Practical experience supporting testing, QA and business UAT.
An understanding of the software development lifecycle and how Business Analysts contribute throughout it.
The ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical colleagues.
Confidence managing several priorities without relying on rigid processes.
A collaborative style combined with the willingness to challenge ideas constructively.
The motivation to continue developing and progress as the delivery function grows.
Experience within an SME or scale-up environment (desirable)

Why Join?

Make a visible impact

You'll work in a business where individual contributions are noticed. The organisation is large enough to invest in meaningful technology and transformation, but small enough for you to build relationships across the company and influence important decisions.

Develop beyond a traditional BA remit

You'll gain exposure across requirements, delivery, testing, implementation, user adoption and continuous improvement. This is an opportunity to develop into a rounded Business Analyst rather than being restricted to producing documentation.

Work at pace

Decisions can be made quickly, priorities move and teams are encouraged to find practical solutions. The environment will suit someone energised by momentum rather than frustrated by change.

Help shape a growing function

The Business Solutions team is expanding significantly. As the squad model develops, there will be opportunities to influence delivery practices, take on greater responsibility and progress alongside the function.

Gain exposure to modern technology

You'll contribute to work involving AI, automation, digital platforms and third-party technology providers. The focus is not on implementing technology for its own sake, but on finding smarter ways to solve genuine business problems.

Package:

£45,000 - £55,000 base salary
Discretionary Bonus
Regular Salary reviews
Hybrid working, with three days per week in the Manchester office.
25 days' holiday plus bank holidays.
Modern office environment with free barista coffee.
