Business Analyst

Business Analyst - £55,000, 1 Day Hybrid

My client is undergoing a significant digital transformation with the implementation of a major enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. This multi-year project represents one of the most extensive and complex ERP implementations, and your expertise will be critical in navigating this sophisticated transformation.

This role is crucial in supporting the successful delivery of this large-scale ERP implementation project. You'll work across multiple functional areas including operations, purchasing, sales, and finance systems, ensuring requirements are properly validated, testing is thorough and accurate, and changes are managed effectively. Your hands-on involvement and investigative approach will be instrumental in moving the project toward go-live, working closely with the internal team and external development partners to deliver business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Test and validate system functionality across ERP system deliveries, investigating failed tests thoroughly and identifying root causes rather than accepting surface-level failures.
• Write user stories and document requirements to communicate with development teams, explaining business needs and acceptance criteria clearly.
• Serve as the primary bridge between the client and the development partner, channeling feedback and requirements through to the development team.
• Own assigned workstreams independently, taking responsibility for delivery and driving tasks to completion with minimal oversight.
• Collaborate closely with subject matter experts, operations teams, and business stakeholders to gather feedback, validate requirements, and ensure solutions meet real business needs.
• Engage across multiple functional areas including operations, finance, purchasing, and sales to support the ongoing ERP implementation and integration efforts.
• Gather and validate requirement changes as business priorities evolve, working with stakeholders to document and communicate updates to the development team.
• Support integration work including EDI connectivity, third-party software integrations, and internal tool development as required.
• Work flexibly across waterfall and agile methodologies depending on project phase and requirements.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in business analysis, with a strong track record of delivering in complex environments.
• Ability to investigate thoroughly, take ownership of tasks, and problem-solve independently without accepting surface-level failures.
• Experience working on large-scale transformation projects, ideally in ERP implementation or manufacturing environments.
• Comfortable working in complex stakeholder environments with multiple dependencies, and able to communicate effectively at both senior and operational levels.
• Strong ability to work across multiple teams, gather requirements, and improve processes and ways of working.
• Experience writing user stories, working with acceptance criteria, and understanding agile methodologies.
• Self-driven approach with willingness to ask questions, get hands-on, and adapt to continuous change.
• Ability to balance strategic oversight with hands-on collaboration in a fast-paced, demanding environment.

Why Join?

• Work on a high-impact transformation project in a globally recognized company.
• Collaborate with a dynamic, cross-functional team in a fast-evolving space.
• Flexible working arrangements.
