With a number of data-led initiatives underway, the business needs someone who can bring stronger structure, analysis and stakeholder management into a key delivery role. The Data Business Analyst role: This is a delivery-focused BA contract supporting data projects where strong requirements gathering, data understanding and stakeholder engagement are all critical.

Data Business Analyst Key Responsibilities: • Requirements Gathering: Work with stakeholders to understand, document and shape business and data requirements across active initiatives. • Data Analysis Support: Operate across data-focused change work, with an understanding of data structures, mappings and how source-to-target flows need to be captured. • Documentation: Produce clear, structured documentation and specifications to support delivery teams and business stakeholders. • Data Mapping: Support mapping between source and target systems, helping ensure data requirements are properly defined and understood. • Stakeholder Management: Build credibility with stakeholders and communicate clearly across both business and delivery teams. • Proactive Delivery Support: Take ownership of work, investigate issues independently and return with informed recommendations and next steps. • Agile Support: Contribute to Scrum-style delivery activity where needed, with some ability to support delivery ceremonies or team coordination. Data Business Analyst Requirements: • Strong BA Background: Proven Business Analyst experience in delivery environments with responsibility for requirements, documentation and stakeholder engagement. • Data Project Experience: Previous experience working on data-focused projects is essential. • Data Understanding: Good understanding of data structures, data modelling and data mapping. • SQL Awareness: Ability to use SQL would be beneficial, though it is not essential. • Proactive Approach: Able to work independently, show initiative and push work forward without waiting for constant instruction. • Communication Skills: Strong stakeholder communication skills and the confidence to work with senior stakeholders effectively. • Attention to Detail: Able to avoid basic mistakes and produce work that reduces, rather than increases, stakeholder effort. • Additional Scrum Exposure: Scrum Master or Agile delivery experience would be useful as a secondary skill.
