Senior Business Analyst (6m FTC)

We are looking for an experienced Senior Business Analyst to join our Transformation team at Penguin Random House UK on a 6-month fixed-term contract basis in London. We are undertaking a company-wide File Management project to simplify how colleagues store, organise, find and share files and information. The project will support our move away from existing shared drives to Microsoft 365 and Box, whilst helping teams to establish clearer and more consistent ways of working.

As Senior Business Analyst, you’ll play a key role in understanding how files are currently managed across the organisation, identifying opportunities for improvement and helping teams to prepare for a successful migration.

Working within Group Operations and alongside colleagues across Transformation, Strategic Projects and Technology, you’ll lead the business analysis activity supporting the discovery and implementation of the File Management project. You’ll combine data analysis with engagement across the business to understand current file structures, processes and ways of working. From there, you’ll help teams identify what needs to change, define practical future ways of working and turn your findings into clear recommendations and migration plans.

You’ll work closely with our Project Manager, Continuous Improvement, Communications and Digital Training colleagues to support teams through discovery, decision-making, migration and adoption.
