Commercial Business Analyst

Job Title: Commercial Business Analyst

Location: Leeds (Hybrid)

Why Apply?

This is a Business Analyst position in Leeds for someone who wants commercial impact, not just documentation. You'll work for a fast-growing consultancy that builds AI-driven solutions tied directly to client cost, profitability and board-level OKRs, sitting alongside Delivery Leads and Forward Deployed AI Engineers. If you're searching for a full-time Business Analyst role where your output becomes the evidence base for major business decisions, this is it, with the flexibility of a hybrid set-up and a genuine path through one of the more interesting corners of consultancy careers today.

Commercial Business Analyst Responsibilities

• Baselining current-state operations, covering cost, volume, errors and time, to give every value claim a starting point
• Building quantified business cases, weighing best case against realistic value with sensitivity analysis on key assumptions
• Modelling realised, not just potential, value, adjusting for adoption, effectiveness and integration
• Advising on build-vs-buy decisions, with clear reasoning behind each call
• Connecting every solution to client OKRs and board-level metrics, translating operational gains into cost and margin terms
• Tracking benefits against baseline through pilots, so impact is proven with evidence rather than assumption
• Contributing to go/adjust/stop decisions, including making the honest case to stop
• Delivering classic BA work on established engagements: requirements elicitation, process analysis and documentation
• Turning engagement evidence into reusable value benchmarks and proof points for future work

Commercial Business Analyst Requirements

• A strong business analysis foundation: requirements elicitation, process mapping, structured interviews, workshops and clear written synthesis
• Business case and financial modelling experience, including benefits identification, quantification and realisation tracking
• Analytical rigour with imperfect data, producing defensible numbers with honest confidence bounds
• Commercial awareness of how consulting engagements are priced, scoped and protected from drift
• A confident communicator, comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders up to board level
• Solid AI literacy, able to challenge feasibility claims and understand what drives adoption of AI tools
• A sharp eye for spotting and scoping the next opportunity

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.
