The Role

We are seeking a Business Systems Analyst (BSA) to translate business operations, compliance knowledge, and reporting logic into scalable digital systems. This role sits at the intersection of business, process, AI, and external vendors, owning the definition and delivery of internal systems and automation initiatives.

You will act as the primary link between stakeholders and technical vendors, ensuring business logic is clearly captured, documented, and implemented across AI solutions, automation workflows, and internal tools.

This is a senior, hands-on role with direct influence over system design, governance, and rollout across the organisation.


Key responsibilities include:

Business Analysis, Requirements & Product Ownership

  • Work closely with consultants, directors, and operational staff to capture business knowledge, logic, and system requirements

  • Translate business needs into clear functional requirements, process definitions, and system decision flows

  • Act as the single source of truth for system requirements across internal teams and external vendors

  • Contribute to the functional design of AI-powered automation tools, including facilitating SME workshops, capturing edge cases, and validating outputs

  • Review system and AI outputs for correctness, robustness, and alignment with business expectations, controlling scope and preventing drift

Process Optimisation, Automation & Systems Oversight

  • Document current-state (“as-is”) processes and design future-state (“to-be”) workflows incorporating automation, AI-assisted steps, and improved controls

  • Identify inefficiencies, duplication, risk points, and opportunities for automation or simplification

  • Maintain a holistic view of internal systems, integrations, and data ownership

  • Prevent fragmented tooling, duplicated solutions, and unnecessary complexity

  • Support scalable, maintainable system design without over-engineering

Vendor Management, Delivery & Adoption

  • Act as a point of contact for vendors delivering AI, automation, VBA, and system solutions

  • Oversee implementation, documentation, version control, and governance of automation assets

  • Review vendor outputs critically to ensure quality, value, and alignment to requirements

  • Support testing, rollout, training, and adoption of new systems to ensure they are embedded into day-to-day operations


Skills and Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, IT, Business, Engineering, or related field

  • Minimum 4+ experience in Business Analysis, Systems Analysis, or Product Ownership

  • Familiarity with AI, automation, or RPA tools

  • Previous experience with Quality Assurance and testing; SQL extraction and Power BI will be highly regarded

  • Knowledge of process mapping, workflow design, or process improvement methodologies

  • Experience managing vendors or technical implementation projects

  • Optional certifications that strengthen candidacy

  • Ongoing CPD, technical training, and leadership development opportunities
