Business Analyst

About Us

We’re an innovative tech consultancy - a team of problem solvers. Since 1993 we’ve been finding better ways to solve complex technology problems for some of the world’s leading organisations and delivered solutions that millions of people use every day.

We bring together experts from diverse backgrounds and experiences in a collaborative and open culture to deliver outstanding outcomes for our clients, and a stimulating and rewarding environment for our people.

Our clients tell us that our people are the best they’ve worked with – not only because of their professional ability, but also their behaviour and attitude. As part of the BJSS Business Analysis team, you’ll develop all these skills, and hone them delivering real engagements for a variety of clients.

Do you enjoy asking the right questions like “what outcomes do your customers want to realise?” and “what goals is your organisation trying to achieve?” Are you seeing digital as data, machine learning, VR and elements of IoT rather than just tablets or mobile? Would you enjoy working in a multi-disciplined team of talented engineers?

If you answered “yes”, then we want to hear from you
