BAE Systems Applied Intelligence specialises in collecting, managing and exploiting information to reveal actionable intelligence. We use this capability to help government and commercial clients reveal intelligence, maintain security and strengthen resilience in today’s complex operating environment. We also use our skills to assist clients with other information-intensive problems such as achieving regulatory compliance and understanding customer behaviour.

BAE Systems Applied Intelligence is looking for Business Analysts and Lead Business Analysts to join our Consulting Workforce, to work across our full range of clients in central Government, National Security and the Private Sector. We are looking for individuals that have solid business experience undertaking requirements analysis and business process modelling demonstrating best practice and stakeholder management to achieve this.

As a Business Analyst or Lead Business Analyst you will lead on the interaction with clients to identify business issues or areas for improvement, document and articulate these to stakeholders and then support the implementation of the resulting solutions. Through gaining a detailed understanding of the client’s organisation and the context in which the engagement has been initiated, you may be involved with process design or requirement management consulting engagements. You will build a close working relationship with the client to understand their needs, articulate solutions and implement changes. You will be expected not only to deliver value to our clients but also contribute to the capability and the growth of the business analysis community with Applied Intelligence.

A strong degree in areas such as business studies, economics, psychology, mathematics, science or engineering;
Extensive experience of delivering business analysis activities with private and/or public sector organisations;

Ability to articulate technology in terms that stakeholders can understand and the understanding of the impact of change on the business and providing necessary support;
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal and able to communicate confidently and effectively at any level of the organisation.
