Business Analyst - AI

This is a remote position.

About the Role

We are looking for a commercially minded, analytical and proactive Business Analyst who can understand how businesses operate, identify operational inefficiencies and recognise opportunities where AI, automation and technology can deliver meaningful improvements.

You will play an important role in our consulting and discovery process, engaging with stakeholders to understand their business challenges, analysing existing processes and translating findings into clear requirements and actionable recommendations.

Working alongside our AI engineering team, you will help bridge the gap between business needs and technical implementation.

This is not simply a documentation or requirements-gathering position. We need someone who can think critically, ask the right questions, challenge existing processes and understand the underlying problems that technology should solve.

• Identify recurring processes, system dependencies, manual tasks and potential automation opportunities.
  

• Translate discovery findings into structured business analysis outputs and automation recommendations.
  

• Support the preparation of client-facing documentation and Automation Map deliverables.
