Software Engineering Business Analyst - eDV Clearance Professional

At IBM Consulting UK Future Now, you’ll build a career at the forefront of hybrid cloud and AI, working with leading clients across the public and private sectors.

You’ll collaborate with top industry professionals, gain hands‑on experience with cutting‑edge technologies, and deliver solutions that create real business impact. From day one, you’ll work on meaningful, high‑profile programmes that stretch your skills and accelerate your growth.

We invest heavily in you—supporting continuous learning, in‑demand skills development, and long‑term career progression. You’ll thrive in a flexible, inclusive environment that values curiosity, encourages reinvention, and recognises what makes you unique.

We offer:

• Tools and policies to support your work‑life balance from flexible working approaches, sabbatical programmes, paid paternity leave, maternity leave and an innovative maternity returners scheme
• More traditional benefits, such as 25 days holiday (in addition to public holidays), private medical, dental & optical cover, online shopping discounts, an Employee Assistance Programme, life assurance and a group pension plan through salary sacrifice.

In this role, you’ll work in one of our IBM Consulting Client Innovation Centres (Delivery Centres), where we deliver deep technical and industry expertise to a wide range of public and private‑sector clients around the world. Our delivery centres offer clients local‑based skills and technical expertise to drive innovation and adoption of new technology.

We are looking for a Technical Business Analyst to join our delivery team and help shape high‑quality digital and technology solutions. In this role, you will work closely with business stakeholders, architects, developers, testers, and vendors to gather and document requirements, analyse problems, and ensure that technical solutions meet business needs.

You will translate complex business objectives into clear functional requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and process flows. You will support all stages of the SDLC, helping teams understand dependencies, evaluate impacts, and deliver high‑quality outcomes. Your ability to communicate clearly, analyse issues, and facilitate workshops will be essential as you help shape solution design and guide delivery teams.

As a Technical BA, you will also bring a practical understanding of how systems integrate, how APIs and data flows behave, and how non‑functional requirements influence technology decisions. Depending on your experience, you may lead requirement work streams, mentor other analysts, or contribute to account‑level planning and stakeholder management.

If you enjoy solving complex problems, engaging with both business and technical teams, and helping deliver solutions that add real value, we would love to hear from you.
