Senior Business Analyst in London

Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end‑of‑life charity. We are the largest non‑NHS provider of end‑of‑life care in the UK, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country. We provide information and support on all aspects of dying, death and bereavement.

As part of the Business Transformation team, the Senior Business Analyst role leads business analysis activities that shape effective, sustainable solutions. You will work with Executive Sponsors, project teams and stakeholders to understand business needs, gather and analyse data, and design commercially viable solutions. You play a critical role in shaping strategic change projects, ensuring that our programmes of change are evidence‑based and deliver tangible benefits that directly improve how Marie Curie operates and supports those who rely on us.

You Will Be Responsible For:

• Building a strong understanding of the charity’s work and stakeholder needs to identify business problems and design effective, commercially viable solutions.
• Partnering with senior stakeholders to clarify and confirm project vision and scope.
• Managing business analysis across the full project lifecycle to deliver agreed outcomes on time, within budget and scope.
• Fostering collaboration and acting as a bridge between users, business teams and technical teams to ensure shared understanding and successful delivery.
• Engaging with stakeholders to define expected benefits, establish measures and support tracking to ensure changes deliver tangible value.
• Using elicitation techniques to capture, challenge and validate requirements.
• Leading process analysis and redesign activities, ensuring future‑state processes are streamlined, effective and aligned to organisational strategy.
• Playing an active role in shaping and developing the BA practice by championing best practice, improving ways of working and sharing knowledge across the team.

Key Criteria:

• Established experience in a similar business analysis role, delivering large‑scale, cross‑organisation projects.
• Excellent knowledge of business analysis tools and techniques, project management methodologies, data analysis and visualisation techniques.
• Industry‑recognised business analysis qualification (e.g. BCS, CBAP).
• Experience leading teams and working alongside senior stakeholders, with the ability and confidence to influence decision‑making.
• Strong drive for improvement and innovation with a focus on delivering solutions that align with organisational strategy and defined project benefits.
• Project delivery spans caring services, fundraising and marketing, and business services, so the ability to demonstrate experience of working with people, processes and technologies across business environments is crucial.
• Working in a non‑profit organisation, or an understanding of charities, would be an advantage.
