About the Role:

We have an amazing opportunity for a Programme Business Analyst to join the Transformation Programme team based at our Christchurch office and reporting to the Chief Transformation Officer for a 12-month fixed term contract. You will work within the Transformation Programme Team to support the planning, execution, and delivery of multiple interconnected projects across the business.

The role is perfect for an experienced Senior/Lead Business Analyst who thrives in a dynamic environment where switching between multiple projects will be the norm and enjoys working on complex programs with high business impact.

  • Support change management efforts to ensure successful adoption of new ways of working, processes, or systems and help prepare training materials and training sessions for end users.
  • Collaborate with the Programme Manager to ensure projects are aligned with programme objectives and are delivered on time, within scope, and within budget.

About You:

You are a detail-oriented and results-driven Programme Business Analyst with a proven ability to analyse complex systems and deliver actionable insights. You excel at bridging the gap between business needs and technical solutions, leveraging your strong communication and stakeholder management skills to align project goals. With a collaborative mindset, you thrive in fast-paced environments, bringing structure to ambiguity and ensuring projects are delivered on time and within scope. Ideally, you have experience in large-scale transformation programmes, a strong grasp of business process modelling, and a passion for driving continuous improvement.

Ideal Skills & Experience:

  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Information Technology, or related field.
  • Minimum 10 years of experience as a Business Analyst, at least three of those years at a senior level, with a focus on programs or large projects.
  • Experience in a Programme Management environment is highly desirable.
  • Previous experience with both Agile and Waterfall methodologies.
  • Strong knowledge of business analysis tools and techniques.
  • Familiarity with project management tools (e.g., JIRA, Microsoft Project, Trello).
  • Experience with system development life cycles and requirements management.
  • Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • Experience in the Ag sector.
  • Professional certifications such as Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) or similar.
