Our aim at Made Tech is to use human-centred technology to improve our society. We believe putting people at the heart of designing, building and delivering public services leads to better outcomes for everyone. As a Senior Business Analyst, you'll lead the analysis and design of products and services that deliver real value for users and for the organisations we work with. You'll work with stakeholders to understand complex business challenges, shape the options for change, and give teams the evidence they need to make good decisions. You’ll work with a high degree of autonomy, and you’ll often be the only Business Analyst on a delivery. That means taking ownership of business analysis from discovery through to implementation: investigating the problem, understanding the policy, process and technology context, defining clear and evidence-based requirements, and staying involved as solutions are designed, built and adopted. You’ll be the person who brings clarity. You'll build trusted relationships with stakeholders at every level, translate between business and technical audiences, and use your judgement to choose an approach that's proportionate to the problem in front of you, whether the delivery is Agile, iterative or predictive. Beyond your engagement, you'll be an active member of our Business Analysis Community of Practice, sharing what you've learned, coaching colleagues, and helping to grow our analysis capability across Made Tech and with our clients. • Investigate business problems, operational needs and opportunities, and recommend improvements to business processes, services and technology, • Lead the elicitation

Even if you don't feel that you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. Security Clearance An increasing number of our customers are specifying a minimum of SC (security check) clearance in order to work on their projects. As a result, we're looking for all successful candidates for this role to have eligibility. Eligibility for SC requires 5 years' continuous UK residency. Please note that if at any point during the interview process it is apparent that you may not be eligible for SC, we won't be able to progress your application and we will contact you to let you know why. We believe we can use tech to make public services better. We also believe this can happen best when our own team represents the society that actually uses the services we work on. We’re collectively continuing to grow a culture that is happy, healthy, safe and inspiring for people of all backgrounds and experiences, so we encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply for roles with us. When you apply, we’ll put you in touch with a member of our talent team who can help with any needs or adjustments we may need to make to help with your application. We’ve put together this blog as a resource to share more about reasonable adjustments and some examples of what this could include. We also welcome any feedback on how we can improve the experience for future candidates. We believe we can use tech to make public services better.
