Senior Business Analyst - Azure Migration & HR/Finance Systems (Contractor)
Location: Manchester city centre, hybrid (onsite days as required by programme)
Contract: Initial 3-month contract
Rate: Up to £400/day Outside IR35
Start Date: ASAP
Overview
Are you looking to make a genuine, visible impact on a defined, high-priority separation programme rather than settle into a long slow ramp-up? This role offers exactly that.
We're looking for an experienced Business Analyst to join a major UK consumer brand's Digital Engineering function. This is a genuine delivery role spanning two active workstreams — a cloud tenant migration and a pair of system replacement RFPs — for someone who can get up to speed fast, run workshops that land decisions, and produce requirements documentation good enough to go straight out to vendors.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the PM and architect in defining the approach to user migration between Azure tenants, including mailbox, storage, SharePoint and OneDrive requirements, ownership and configuration.
- Assist in understanding current cloud application integration configuration to enable smooth redeployment into a new Azure tenant.
- Capture business requirements, run technical analysis of current applications and review current business processes to support RFPs for replacement Finance and HR systems.
- Engage business and technical owners across the organisation and third parties to produce clear, well-documented requirements.
- Interpret wider strategy and business context, translating it into practical requirements and process documentation.
- Lead close interaction between business/technical owners and technical delivery teams, including third parties.
- Work across multiple concurrent workstreams, prioritising effectively.
Requirements
- Significant Business/IT analysis experience delivered on complex technology migrations.
- Demonstrable experience documenting and managing business, functional and non-functional requirements.
- Experience facilitating workshops and driving consensus across multiple teams.
- Experience leading analysis across multiple teams, including third parties, to deliver technology solutions.
- Experience working across multiple streams of work with strong prioritisation skills.
- Base understanding of Azure AD/Entra ID concepts and tenant-to-tenant migrations.
- Experience supporting Microsoft 365 migration projects, including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive and user identity migration.
- Experience analysing application integrations, data flows and dependencies in complex enterprise environments.
- Ability to produce high-quality requirements documentation and process maps.
- Knowledge of Agile, Waterfall and hybrid delivery methodologies.
- Familiarity with RAID management, dependency management and programme governance.
Desirable
- Understanding of Telco and ICT products and processes.
- Exposure to Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365 and enterprise SaaS platforms.
- Experience with HR systems, particularly Workday.
- Experience with Finance systems, particularly Dynamics 365.
Why Join?
- Genuine, hands-on delivery ownership across two live workstreams — not a ticket-taking role.
- A tangible, visible contribution to a major separation programme within a defined engageme
