You’re experienced in Business Analysis, educated to degree level (or equivalent) and keen to make the most of your skills. Ticked all the boxes? You could be a Business Analyst for Business Development, Strategy and Demand within Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP).

Join us, and you’ll have the chance to use your expertise for good by overcoming CT Policing technological business problems. Your expertise will be key in the fight against terrorism, ensuring our staff and officers get the tech they need to combat evolving threats.

As a Business Analyst in the CTP’s Technology pillar, you will support the national CT Policing community by creating their technology user requirements, scoping studies and business cases, according to Government guidelines. By developing this documentation, you will help to progress projects through due governance, delivery and roll-out. In effect, you’ll be a link between the customer and CTP HQ, advising on technology projects, programmes, governance and issues while acting as an advisor on new and emerging technologies. Where necessary, you’ll liaise with operational teams, Procurement Services and Lead Accountants to get the job done.

A degree-educated professional with a relevant Business Analysis qualification, you’ll have worked on development and project lifecycles before. So, you’ll know how to manage stakeholders, produce an array of documents and create specifications to the highest standards. With this background, you’ll also know how to produce 'as-is’ and 'to-be’ process models using Business Process Model Notation (BPMN). Additionally, you’ll be used to conducting the Gap Analysis that project requirements will be based on.

Technical skills are essential, but communication is just as important. You must be clear, persuasive and able to win the respect of a wide range of people. If that sounds like you, you can expect a competitive salary and a Civil Service pension, plus excellent career and professional development. All this, and a highly rewarding role, supporting national security.
