Senior Business Analyst Job Introduction:

As Senior Business Analyst reporting to the Head of Finance, you'll scope and build advanced analytical models and reports to enable the business to effectively identify and deliver efficiencies, and benchmark retail productivity and margins.

We're seeking one of the rare few Analysts who are able to interrogate data to provide insight, using your effective interpersonal approach to articulate what the numbers mean, bringing to life for our non-finance colleagues.

A proven coach and influencer with a continuous improvement mind-set, this is an excellent opportunity to join the Defence and Government team in this newly scoped role where you can contribute to deliver a number of initiatives in our growth plan this year and in the future.

Able to work autonomously but there will also be times when you'll need to truly collaborate, as there will be interaction with colleagues from many different areas including finance, operations, retail teams and our internal service operations platform

Senior Business Analyst Main Responsibilities include:

* Business partner to segment Finance, Retail, Marketing and Operations teams

* Identify key stake holder reporting requirements and scope a suite of reporting that will enable benchmarking, retail margin and labour analysis and insight to improve contract financial performance

* Prepare executive level board reports that outline key messages from the reports, evaluate performance against business objectives and suggest improvements

* Define standard KPI reporting to assist with profit improvement in low performing contracts and track performance

* Liaise with Service Operations analysts in identifying inflation trends and communicate regional initiatives from the food platform into the segment

* Support the retail teams in assessing impact of menu changes, tariff increases, new offer introductions and the payback of marketing and capital investments

* Introduce new budgeting and forecasting tools to facilitate clear and accurate future planning and identify and mitigate risks

* Champion improvements and enhancements to monthly reporting using analytical tools to develop real time reporting

* Promote the use of digital technology and partner with the business in the application of these tools

The Ideal Senior Business Analyst:

* Exceptional analytical skills with ability to collate and interrogate multiple data streams using complex macros and data mining techniques.

* Experience of putting forward actionable recommendations to senior management based on analysis.

* Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate clearly and persuasively, orally and in writing, with all levels of staff, including Segment leadership members and Group level executives.

* Ability to work under pressure; think clearly and act decisively, flexible with respect to hours worked

* Proven track record of business partnering to drive change

* Excellent attention to detail

* Advanced Excel and strong PowerPoint skills
