Location: Agile, Forth Banks Police Station and homeworking
Hours/Contract: 37 hours per week, permanent
The role
As a Business Analyst, you will be the organisation’s central expert in analysing, shaping, and documenting business requirements and future capabilities. You’ll translate complex information into clear, accessible insights and play a critical role in enabling innovation and efficient service delivery across our force.
Working within the Corporate Hub, you will support key elements of our 2030 transformation programme by driving process optimisation, developing robust business cases, supporting strategic procurement, and preparing the organisation for emerging technologies. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders, national policing bodies, partner forces and suppliers, helping to ensure our solutions are not only fit for purpose but positioned for the future.
What you’ll do
- Lead end to end requirements gathering, engaging stakeholders, facilitating workshops, and validating functional and non functional requirements.
- Map, analyse and optimise business processes, identifying inefficiencies, risks and opportunities for improvement across the organisation.
- Support early market engagement and tender activity, contributing to supplier assessments and the creation of procurement documentation.
- Develop evidence based business cases that clearly outline costs, benefits, risks and return on investment to support senior decision making.
- Assess regulatory requirements, including initial DPIAs and information security considerations, ensuring technology solutions meet appropriate standards.
- Support project delivery through requirements traceability, user acceptance testing preparation, and close collaboration with project and technical teams.
- Build strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels, including national policing partners, external agencies and solution suppliers.
- Champion continuous improvement by identifying opportunities for efficiency, innovation, and the adoption of emerging technologies such as AI.
What you’ll bring
- Strong understanding of IT service delivery, technology projects, and governance processes.
- Experience developing business cases and supporting digital transformation initiatives.
- Ability to act as a change agent—translating the value of new technologies into meaningful business benefits.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non technical stakeholders.
- Proven experience in stakeholder management, collaboration and influencing at a senior level.
- Degree level education or equivalent relevant experience.
- Knowledge of emerging technologies, the digital landscape within policing, and the national direction of travel for Digital Policing.
- Familiarity with software development lifecycles, public sector commercial processes, ITIL, and Prince2 (or equivalents).
Why join us?
You’ll be part of a supportive, forward thinking team where your expertise directly shapes how policing services are delivered now and into the future.

Harnessing these differences creates a productive environment in which everyone feels valued, and their talents are fully utilised. Appointments are based on merit alone.
