sportscotland is the national agency for sport in Scotland. Our vision is an active Scotland where everyone benefits from sport.

Our goal is to be inclusive by design.

We are looking for an experienced Business Analyst to join our Data and Digital team, supporting project initiation through early stage discovery, process review and requirements definition. The role requires a minimum of two days per week in our Glasgow office, with flexibility to increase to meet project needs.

The Business Analyst will work with stakeholders from across the organisation to analyse current processes, assess impacts, support options appraisal and ensure initiatives are well scoped and governance ready. As a result, we are looking for someone with strong analytical skills and the ability to communicate complex information clearly to different audiences.

You will manage multiple pieces of analysis at the same time and contribute to improving business analysis tools, templates and approaches across the organisation. This role therefore requires good organisational skills, attention to detail, and knowledge of project or PMO environments that support consistent and auditable ways of working.

Inclusion underpins everything we do at sportscotland, and you'll be expected to work in a way that supports inclusive decision making, transparent communication and collaborative working.

Whilst this position is being advertised as a permanent role, we also welcome applications from employees of UK Civil Service organisations and public bodies who may wish to undertake the role on a secondment basis for up to 2 years. Applicants interested in a secondment opportunity should discuss this with their current employer and obtain the necessary approval before appointment. Please indicate within your application if you wish to be considered on a secondment basis.

* Please note successful candidates will be appointed at the entry point of the salary band.
