Job Description
We are seeking an experienced, strategically minded Business Analyst with active Security Check (SC) clearance to lead high-level operating model design and strategic alignment initiatives across a major transformation programme.
Unlike purely tactical or software delivery BA positions, this role sits at the enterprise shaping level. You will work closely with senior stakeholders and business architects to analyze, design, and implement target operating models (TOM), translate high-level strategy into tangible business architecture, and guide structured organizational change.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the analysis, definition, and design of Target Operating Models (TOM) to align business capabilities with wider organizational strategy.
- Engage with C-suite and executive stakeholders to translate high‑level vision and policy into actionable strategic business requirements.
- Conduct current‑state assessments (as‑is), capability mapping, gap analysis, and future‑state (to‑be) operational designs.
- Collaborate closely with Enterprise Architects, Programme Directors, and service delivery leads to ensure strategic coherence.
- Facilitate strategic workshops, stakeholder alignment sessions, and operational design reviews.
- Develop business cases, strategic roadmaps, and transition plans to support operational rollout.
What We Are Looking For
- Security Clearance: Must hold an active, transferable UK Security Check (SC) clearance at the time of application.
- Operating Model Expertise: Proven track record in Target Operating Model (TOM) design, business capability modeling, and organizational design.
- Strategic Mindset: Ability to operate comfortably at the enterprise/strategic level, cutting through ambiguity to shape strategy rather than merely logging functional software tickets.
- Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication skills with demonstrated experience managing, influencing, and aligning senior government/public‑sector stakeholders.
