Poole, Poole, United Kingdom Parkstone Yacht Club Full time £35,000 - £50,000 per year

Company Description

Parkstone Yacht Club (PYC) is one of the UK's leading sailing clubs, providing exceptional facilities and a vibrant community for sailors of all levels. The Club supports a wide range of on‑ and off‑the‑water activities including sailing, marina operations, hospitality, training, racing, and social events. To enhance member experience and streamline operations, PYC is undertaking a strategic programme to replace its current non‑integrated systems with a modern, unified digital platform.

Project Background

PYC is initiating a re‑platforming project to implement an integrated system that supports:

  • Membership database and CRM

  • Sail racing administration
  • Website and online member services
  • Yard operations including off‑season storage and yard‑team work management
  • Financial bookkeeping and reporting
  • Facilities management
  • Events, communications, and marketing

This project aims to deliver a cohesive, efficient, and future‑proof platform to replace multiple legacy solutions.

Role Description

The Business Analyst will support the Steering Group's decision‑making by providing structured, evidence‑based analysis of current operations and system needs.

  • Develop and maintain the project plan.
  • Identify risks, dependencies, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Provide clear documentation and periodic reports to the Steering Group.

Skills / Experience

  • Strong process mapping and requirements‑gathering capability.
  • Experience writing RFPs and supporting vendor assessments.
  • Effective Communication skills to collaborate with diverse stakeholders and convey complex information clearly
  • Strong organisational and project‑planning abilities.
  • Experience in membership organisations, hospitality, marina operations, or finance (desirable).
