Business Analyst - SAP RISE Migration (Data & Processes)

Initial 6 month contract | Major Transformation Programme | £500-600pd inside IR35 | Hybrid working in Manchester as needed for meetings & workshops

We're looking for a hands-on Business Analyst to play a key role in a large-scale SAP RISE migration programme, focused on data, processes and capability build out. This is a high-impact, discovery-led role where you'll operate with strong autonomy; owning conversations, shaping requirements and translating complex business problems into clear, actionable outputs for engineering and product teams.

You'll be working at the heart of a data-driven transformation, helping define how data flows into SAP RISE, where data quality is governed and how processes are redesigned for the future state.

What You'll Be Doing:

Discovery & Problem Solving

• Take ownership of end-to-end discovery within your capability area
• Engage the business to understand problems, challenge assumptions and define solutions
• Confidently work from problem → analysis → recommendation → presentation
• Translate ambiguity into structured outputs and clear direction

Data & Process Analysis

• Analyse data flows, pipelines and process interactions feeding into SAP RISE
• Define where data quality, ownership and governance should sit
• Work closely with engineering teams to ensure feasible and scalable solutions
• Support migration from legacy SAP ECC environments into future-state architecture

Stakeholder Management

• Proactively engage and manage stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Finance Tech and Operations
• Lead workshops (Manchester based) to drive alignment and gather requirements
• Communicate effectively across both technical and non-technical audiences
• Operate confidently across international teams

Requirements & Delivery

• Own requirements and artefacts end-to-end (including PRDs, process flows and documentation)
• Get into the detail where needed but confidently summarise and present at a senior level
• Identify dependencies across the wider programme and avoid siloed thinking

What We're Looking For:

• Strong Business Analysis experience in complex, data-driven environments
• Proven ability to own stakeholder conversations and drive outcomes independently
• Experience working on SAP migrations (ideally SAP RISE or ECC transformation)
• Strong communication skills, able to deep dive and summarise effectively
• Confident, proactive and comfortable working in ambiguity
• Experience with data flows, pipelines or data-led transformation projects
• Exposure to finance systems or enterprise-scale platforms highly desirable
• Experience working across global teams and multi-location programmes
