Business Analyst​/Test Manager

Business Analyst / Test Manager

6 month contract | Leeds (one day a week)

We're working with a well‑known construction business to find a Business Analyst who can also own testing end‑to‑end. You'll be the single point of accountability for both, across projects ranging from straightforward to genuinely complex.

On the analysis side: leading on business problem definition, mapping current and future‑state processes (BPMN, swimlane), and eliciting, documenting and validating requirements through to formal sign‑off and traceability. You'll manage scope, assumptions and change control, and contribute to business cases including options, costs, risks and benefits.

On the test side: owning test strategy and test plans for your projects, defining scope, environments, entry/exit criteria and timelines. You'll run test kick‑offs, manage defects through to closure, and coordinate testing across internal teams and third‑party suppliers – including holding suppliers to account on quality and coverage.

You'll work across Waterfall, Agile and hybrid delivery, adapting your approach accordingly, and you may also pick up light project management on smaller pieces of work.

• Proven end‑to‑end BA experience on large, complex projects or programmes
• Demonstrable ownership of test strategy, planning and execution – not just BA work with some testing bolted on
• Strong process modelling experience (BPMN/swimlane, As‑Is/To‑Be)
• Experience managing third‑party suppliers through the full delivery lifecycle
• Comfortable working across multiple delivery methodologies
• BCS (ISEB) Diploma in Business Analysis (essential)
• IIBA certification and/or PRINCE2 (desirable)
