Agile Business Analyst

Company cultures & job summary

Our client is one of the most recognisable names in professional services and management consultancy working at the heart of some of the UK's most ambitious and sensitive national programmes. This isn't your average consultancy gig; the work genuinely matters and the scale of what they deliver is impressive. You'd be joining a growing team that works in multi-disciplinary agile product squads, collaborating with digital designers, developers and product owners to build and improve critical digital products for Defence and Security clients. The team is expanding fast and there's real momentum here. To be considered, you'll need proven experience as a Business Analyst or Product Analyst within an agile delivery environment, in the UK Public Sector or Defence. You should be confident writing user stories and acceptance criteria, comfortable with tools like Jira or GitLab, and experienced with frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban or SAFe.
