A leading logistics company is delivering a major digital transformation programme impacting multiple business functions, including the implementation of a new procurement platform.

They are seeking a senior, hands-on Transformation Business Analyst & Test Lead to take ownership across the full delivery life cycle, from discovery and requirements through testing, go-live, and hyper-care.

This is a hybrid role suited to someone who thrives in complex, multi-workstream environments and enjoys bridging business and technology to ensure solutions land successfully and deliver tangible operational value.

The Role

You will play a critical role in shaping and validating a new procurement solution, ensuring requirements are robust, processes are optimised, and testing is coordinated effectively across the programme. This is a business-facing position requiring strong stakeholder engagement, structured analysis, and hands-on support through testing and go-live.

You will take ownership of requirements from early discovery through to hyper-care, ensuring clarity, alignment and high-quality delivery throughout.

Key Responsibilities

Requirements & Analysis

• Lead discovery workshops, interviews and process observation sessions
• Analyse and document business requirements, identifying gaps and proposing practical solutions
• Produce high-quality BA artefacts (user stories, use cases, process maps)
• Map current and future-state procurement processes
• Work closely with vendors and technical teams to validate solution design
• Support integration planning with ERP systems, including data migration and standardisation

Stakeholder Engagement

• Act as the bridge between business teams, project managers, technical teams and third-party vendors
• Facilitate discussions, manage expectations and drive decision-making
• Build strong relationships across functions and seniority levels
• Identify bottlenecks and recommend pragmatic improvements

Testing, Implementation & Hyper-care

• Support test planning, test case creation and execution
• Lead defect tracking and remediation activities
• Produce clear test reporting for stakeholders
• Support cutover, go-live and early-life support
• Gather feedback and recommend enhancements

Continuous Improvement

• Monitor system performance and identify optimisation opportunities
• Contribute to KPI development and procurement reporting
• Support the embedding of best practice processes and governance

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Business Analyst on procurement, purchasing, ERP, supply chain or finance system implementations
• Strong understanding of system configuration, integrations and process design
• Experience delivering BA artefacts across complex or multi-workstream programmes
• Solid knowledge of software testing methodologies and defect management
• Experience across the full life cycle: discovery testing hyper-care
• Strong analytical, documentation and stakeholder management skills
• Comfortable operating in environments with ambiguity and evolving change maturity

Desirable

• Experience within asset-heavy or operational industries
• Understanding of procure-to-pay integrations and master data governance
• Experience on large-scale transformation programmes

The Individual

You will be collaborative, resilient and calm under pressure. You take ownership, simplify complexity, and focus on ensuring solutions genuinely work for the business, not just on paper.

This is an opportunity to play a visible and influential role within a high-impact transformation programme.
