Senior Business Analyst
First seen by Alion on Nov 10, 2026.
We are looking for a Senior Business Analyst
As a Senior Business Analyst you'll fully own the delivery shaping the scope, defining success with stakeholders, and driving real adoption
Responsibilities:
• Define scope, requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria, and hold to them constructively when priorities shift
• Facilitate discovery workshops where views differ, question the initial request with curiosity, and help the group agree on what is worth building
• Own a set of use cases end to end, from the first business conversation through to adoption
• Shape backlog refinement and prioritisation with the project and technical teams, and recommend clear trade-offs when scope and capacity don’t match
• Run UAT and guide adoption, including training and follow-up after go-live
• Advise the business on what the technology can and cannot realistically do, and work with architects and engineers on solutions people will actually use
• Flag risks and difficult news early, to the right person, in plain language
What we’re looking for:
• You’ve worked closely with clients or business stakeholders, including senior people, who see you as an advisor rather than a supplier, and you can guide them toward a better option when an idea isn’t strong
• You can take an ambiguous business problem and give it shape, including live in a workshop
• You’ve been involved in AI, data or automation work and understand the expectation gap these projects tend to create
• You’re curious about AI tools, use them in your own work or daily life, and have your own view of where they help and where they fall short
• You’re adaptable and quick to learn: you adjust your approach to the client, the technology and the situation rather than applying one fixed method
• You can explain a complex problem simply to a non-technical executive, and a business constraint precisely to an engineer
• You have sound requirements, backlog and testing practice
• You’re comfortable working across cultures, countries or time zones
• Your English is excellent, at full professional level (C1–C2)
Nice to have
• Familiarity with Microsoft AI and low-code technologies such as Copilot Studio, Azure AI services, Power Platform and Microsoft 365,
enough to hold credible feasibility conversations without building the solution yourself
• Agile or hybrid delivery experience (Scrum, SAFe, PMI-ACP)
• Business Analysis certifications (CBAP, PMI-PBA)
