You'll collaborate across business, technology, data and delivery teams to help organisations solve problems, improve performance and realise the benefits of change.
You'll also provide guidance to other analysts, contribute to the growth of our Business Analysis capability, and support clients in defining priorities, evaluating options and building consensus across programmes and organisations.

- Significant experience delivering Business Analysis across projects, programmes or transformation initiatives
- Proven ability to lead requirements gathering, stakeholder engagement and workshop facilitation activities
- Strong experience producing and assuring core BA artefacts, including process maps, requirements documentation, user stories and business case inputs
- Excellent analytical, critical-thinking and problem-solving capability
- Ability to operate independently, influence stakeholders and manage competing priorities
- Experience supporting, coaching or guiding colleagues and working across multidisciplinary teams
- Strong commercial awareness and an understanding of how analysis contributes to successful client outcomes
Experience within utilities, water, infrastructure or other regulated environments is advantageous, as is exposure to data-led, digital or enterprise transformation programmes.
At Jacobs, we deliver solutions that matter. You'll have the opportunity to influence major programmes, support the growth of a developing Business Analysis practice, and help clients solve some of their most complex challenges. If you're ready to combine leadership, analysis and consulting skills to deliver lasting impact, we'd love to hear from you.
