Senior Business Analyst

Senior Business Analyst – Private Markets | London | Hybrid | Contract

We are partnering with a leading global alternative investment manager that is continuing to invest heavily in its Change & Transformation capability as the business scales.

They are looking for an experienced Senior Business Analyst to join a high-performing Change team, working across strategic transformation initiatives spanning business processes, operations, technology and data.

This is a highly visible role offering significant autonomy and exposure to senior stakeholders across the organisation. You'll be expected to go beyond traditional requirements gathering – challenging existing processes, identifying opportunities for improvement and helping shape how change is delivered across the business.

The Role

• Lead Business Analysis across complex, business-critical transformation initiatives.
• Gather, challenge and translate business requirements into clear, deliverable outcomes.
• Analyse As-Is processes and design improved To-Be processes, with a significant focus on process re-engineering.
• Partner closely with Operations, Technology and Data teams to deliver data-driven change.
• Support projects throughout the full delivery lifecycle, including requirements, design, testing, implementation and adoption.
• Work within an Agile environment, collaborating closely with project, product and technology teams.
• Use data and analytical tools to investigate problems, identify trends and support decision-making.
• Define and, where appropriate, measure success criteria and benefits associated with change initiatives.
• Facilitate workshops with business and technical stakeholders.
• Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders, constructively challenging requirements and existing ways of working.

What We're Looking For

• 8–15 years' experience, predominantly within Business Analysis.
• Strong track record delivering business and technology transformation within financial services.
• Excellent process re-engineering experience – this is a key requirement.
• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies and modern change delivery.
• Experience defining detailed business requirements and translating them for technical teams.
• Strong testing/UAT experience.
• Experience working closely with Data teams and data-focused transformation initiatives.
• Exposure to tools such as Python, Alteryx, AI tooling or similar, with the ability to interrogate and mine data where required.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication and influencing skills.
• Experience defining success measures and facilitating workshops would be advantageous.
• Private Credit experience is highly desirable, although candidates from Investment Banking or broader buy-side environments will also be considered.

Why Consider It?

This is an opportunity to join a growing private markets business where Change has genuine visibility and influence. You'll work on strategic initiatives rather than being limited to a single programme, with exposure across business, operations, data and technology.

For a Senior BA looking for greater ownership, senior stakeholder exposure and the opportunity to improve and redesign processes rather than simply document them, this is a particularly strong opportunity.
