**Salary** - £43,889
**Location** - Taunton
**Permanent**
**Full Time**
**Hybrid Working **
**Job summary**
We are seeking a talented **Senior Business Analyst** to join us here at the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO). It’s a genuinely exciting time to join us as we go through a period of transformational change.
The UKHO is a leading centre for hydrography, providing marine geospatial data to inform maritime decisions. We work with a wide range of data suppliers and partners to support maritime navigation, safety, security and marine development around the UK and worldwide.
The nature of the information that mariners require for safe navigation and the way that they receive that information is undergoing massive upheaval. For UKHO to remain the world’s leading Hydrographic Office, requires a **large and expanding changeprogramme**. Within this programme of Architects, Agile Development Teams, Project/ Programme/ Delivery Managers, the team of Business Analyst’s are critical in implementing the changes required at pace.
At the UKHO we have adopted hybrid working as we place value on work achieved and not where you work.This role will allow for virtual working though office attendance will be required at times.This is likely to be once a fortnight but could be slightlyless.
**Job description**
The role of a Senior Business Analyst is very varied but crucial in all aspects of the change lifecycle. Fundamentally you will:

- Have a good understanding of strategic arenas.
- Take a lead role in large and complex projects.
- Have people management responsibilities and mentor others.
- Develop best practice and manage communities of practice activities (internally and across government).
- Own stakeholder relationships

**Core responsibilities:**:

- You will frequently be given novel, ill -defined problems. You will have to use your skill and judgement to determine the appropriate technical tools, techniques and approach required to solve them.
- You will often be working with senior stakeholders (Programme Managers, Heads Of Division) and you will need the confidence to challenge firmly, (based on evidence) when the preferred option of a stakeholder is not optimal. You will require strong analytical,negotiation and communication skills (with a dash of diplomacy).
- You will be dealing with complex systems and processes. You will have to abstract these into models and documents that can be understood by both business users and development teams.
- You will on occasion be working with people who are resistant to change. For example, the change may be removing their role.
- You’ll be able to pick up a problem in an area in which you have no domain knowledge and quickly grasp the key/salient points such that you can quickly start adding value. It is equivalent to the skills required by an external consultant.

**Person specification**
We are looking for someone who:

- Has a wide range of experience successfully working on complex projects and programmes in business analysis roles
- Has a BCS Diploma in Business Analysis or equivalent
- Is confident at analysing and breaking down problems
- Has the ability to self-develop and take on information and learn new skills quickly
- Is self-motivated with strong written and verbal communication skills

**Benefits**
We offer a range of benefits to support your lifestyle, including generous leave allowances, flexible working hours, a lift-share scheme, enrolment in the Civil Service Pension scheme, and regular training and development opportunities.
**Interview Process:**:

- Interview will be with a panel of no more than 3 people and will last approx. 60mins
- The interview will include a practical exercise.Those invited to interview will be given a task and process and will then have 15 minutes to draw the process and present back ideas to the panel.

**Onboarding Checks**:
**Residency:**
This is a Ministry of Defence non-reserved post and although open to UK, British Commonwealth and European Economic Area nationals, successful applicants will require a security clearance (SC) and therefore need to have resided in the UK for a minimum of 12consecutive months within the last 5 years.
