Role purpose

As a Business Analyst at Homes England, you will typically work within multidisciplinary teams, supporting the continuous improvement of our services, products and platforms.

• Analyse business problems, opportunities and operating models, considering people, processes, technology, data, information and organisational structures.
• Conduct research and stakeholder engagement to identify business and user needs, define requirements, and translate them into effective digital and non-digital solutions.
• Identify opportunities for process improvement, assess options and impacts, define success measures, and support the delivery of business change.
• Produce and maintain high-quality business analysis artefacts, including process maps, Epics, Features and User Stories.
• Work closely with Product Managers and stakeholders to support prioritisation, MVP decisions, and alignment with strategic, business and policy objectives.
• Ensure products, services and business changes meet user and business needs while complying with organisational and policy constraints.
• Build and maintain effective stakeholder relationships across Homes England and wider government, aligning priorities and influencing decision-making through analysis-led insights.
• Develop a detailed understanding of business processes and collaborate with process owners to drive both incremental and transformational improvements.
• Contribute to the Business Analysis community of practice by promoting best practice and supporting the development of colleagues.
• Demonstrate flexibility by undertaking complementary roles where required, including supporting Product Management and User Research activities.
