Summary
The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has a clear mission - to grow the economy. Our role is to help businesses invest, grow and export to create jobs and opportunities right across the country. We do this in three ways. Firstly, we help to build a strong, competitive business environment, where consumers are protected and companies rewarded for treating their employees properly.
Secondly, we open international markets and ensure resilient supply chains. This can be through Free Trade Agreements, trade facilitation and multilateral agreements.
Finally, we work in partnership with businesses every day, providing advance, finance and deal-making support to those looking to start up, invest, export and grow.
The Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) directorate develops and operates tools and services to support us in this mission. The team have been nominated three times in a row for ‘Best Public Sector Employer’ at the Women in Tech awards!
About the role
Our Senior Business Analysts identify and draw upon a variety of evidence to define, analyse and document challenging business problems and user needs. They lead the mapping of user and organisational needs to business architecture, ensuring alignment with service vision and strategy.
Senior Business Analysts (BAs) constructively challenge and act as a critical friend to ensure fit-for-purpose solutions. They facilitate collaboration and effective communication to support the design, build, and delivery of user-centred products and services.
As a Senior BA, you will support the Head of Profession to build a sustainable, diverse, and engaged Business Analyst community within DBT who work together towards a common goal and share ideas openly, establishing standards and consistency to support rapid delivery through sharing and learning from one another.

You will also line manage and mentor junior colleagues, providing advice and direction on their activities and supporting them to develop their skills and experience.
