Sheffield City Council is looking for a skilled and motivated Senior Business Analyst to join the Sheffield Role Review Programme (SRRP) Team. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a high-profile, people-centred programme that supports fairness, consistency and improvement across the Council.

About the Role:

In this role, you will be part of a dynamic, multi-disciplinary team delivering key activity across the Sheffield Role Review Programme. You will carry out business analysis across a range of programme work, helping to shape solutions, support change and ensure delivery is aligned to organisational priorities.

You will deliver a broad range of business analysis activity, including gathering and translating requirements, supporting service and process design, undertaking research and data analysis, and contributing to target operating model development and project design. You will work closely with colleagues across the programme to help define problems clearly, challenge constructively and support practical, effective outcomes.

This is a varied and influential role. You will work across complex areas of change, contribute to the development of business analysis approaches and tools, and help ensure work is delivered to a high standard. You will also support colleagues across teams, build strong working relationships and contribute to developing business analysis capability across the Council.

What We Offer:

A friendly, welcoming and supportive culture where you can grow and thrive.

The opportunity to contribute to a major corporate programme with real organisational impact.

A collaborative environment where you can work with a diverse range of colleagues and stakeholders across the Council.

Opportunities to apply and develop your business analysis, problem-solving and change skills in a complex public sector setting.

We are looking for candidates who can combine strong analytical skills with curiosity, sound judgement and a collaborative approach. You will be confident working on complex issues, engaging with stakeholders, and using insight and evidence to support service improvement and change delivery.

You will be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, managing competing priorities and contributing to the successful delivery of complex programme activity. Experience of business analysis, service improvement, stakeholder engagement and translating business needs into practical solutions will be important in this role.

This role is Sheffield-based, and you will be required to work regularly in our Sheffield offices and workspaces, travelling to different sites based on business needs.

We are looking for individuals who are organised, adaptable and committed to our values. If you are passionate about analysis, improvement and meaningful organisational change, and want to contribute to one of the Council’s most significant programmes, we would love to hear from you.
