The Role

Are you ready to shape the future of public services in Bolton?
We’re looking for a dynamic Transformation Business Analyst to join the Change Unit of our Transformation team on a 2-year fixed term contract. If you’re passionate about driving change, improving services and taking an evidence-led approach to deliver real impact for communities, this could be the role for you. Your work will directly inform strategic decision-making and help shape services for Bolton residents.

This role would be an excellent development opportunity for someone with sound analytical skills coupled with an ability to tell the story from the data to make a case for change. It’s available as a secondment or fixed term contract.

About You

As a Transformation Business Analyst, you will collaborate with stakeholders to identify business needs and drive meaningful change, as well as applying systems thinking to analyse complex processes and uncover opportunities for organisation-wide improvement.
You’ll need to bring multiple data sets together to gain further insight from a range of services and use this data to create visual tools that tell a story and generate insights to support evidence-based decision-making.
You’ll design measures that demonstrate the benefits of change and report on this, in order to evidence success. You’ll facilitate workshops, map processes, and support the delivery of transformation initiatives across the council which will ultimately help shape services that are efficient, effective, and aligned with Bolton’s strategic goals.
