DESCRIPTION/RESPONSIBILITIES:
Lead Business Analyst

Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne
Fixed Term Maternity Cover (12 months), Full Time (37.5 hpw)
Salary circa £40,000 per annum negotiable based on skills and experience, plus brilliant benefits!

Delivering change to shape our future. That’s when it hits home.

With our strategy set, and direction clear, our APM Award Winning Programme Management Office (PMO) is delivering the strategic programmes and projects, that ensure Home Group remains the market leader in our field.

We need the right people to make this happen, so we’re looking for a dynamic and passionate Lead Business Analyst to join our brilliant team and help us shape our future!

You will help to drive the direction and development of strategic change initiatives at Home Group. Offering support and best practice to a team of Business Analysts, you’ll apply your in-depth experience and wider industry knowledge to achieve the right results.  You will lead in the production of business cases, benefit realisation plans and development of products within the Business Analysis (BA) Framework, making sure we successfully deliver our projects and programmes, in what is normally a predominantly office based role at our Head Office (although we are all working from Home at the moment!)

Joining Mel’s PMO Team, you will deliver our projects and programmes.  Mel loves working for Home Group but is also a firm believer in getting the right work/life balance.  With a husband, 2 sons and 2 dogs to “project” manage there’s never a dull moment but she’ll always find time to relax (and if it’s with a glass of something bubbly, even better!)

Working flexibly
It’s the team’s unwritten rule that you attend the important appointments in life, be it your child’s school play, your partner’s graduation, or to get your new fridge delivered. You can elect to fit these around your working day or use your flexi to take the time off. Our focus is on getting the job done, not your working hours!

A bit about you
You are a skilled and experienced Business Analyst; with an excellent understanding of Prince2 / MSP and significant exposure to business analysis frameworks such as BPMN and ISEB.  You have experience of gathering and documenting business requirements, as well as facilitating workshops and engaging with stakeholders from all levels. You are comfortable adapting to new ways of working as well as solving problems and issues when they arise.

You are a clear communicator with the ability to quickly gain the confidence of colleagues and stakeholders. You work flexibly, adapting your style to match and meet the needs of the business area(s) that you are collaborating with.

You support our team of BAs by promoting best practise and answering any business analysis related queries they may have. Working closely with programme and project managers you determine what business analysis needs are required and review the outputs of our team to ensure all deliverables are up to standard. You also coach and mentor our BA team, as well as playing a lead BA role in helping drive some of the larger programmes of work through to delivery.
