About the role
A major public sector organisation is seeking an experienced Senior Business Analyst to support large-scale transformation initiatives that enhance regulatory systems and service delivery across Aotearoa. This role sits within a strategic delivery and change function and plays a key part in helping the organisation achieve its long-term vision.
You will contribute to complex reform programmes that involve legislative change, digital transformation, new operating models, and the modernisation of high-volume regulatory processes. Upcoming work involves expanding digital capabilities, implementing further legislative requirements, and supporting broader reform priorities set by government.
You will work autonomously across programmes and projects, engaging with operational teams, senior leaders, external partners, and regulatory stakeholders. You’ll lead workshops, develop business cases, shape business requirements, and ensure solutions are practical, people-focused, and future-ready. You will also be responsible for mentoring other analysts and embedding best practice across the business analysis function.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead high-quality business analysis across major transformation and regulatory reform programmes.
- Facilitate workshops and engagement sessions to define business needs, pain points, and opportunities.
- Develop business cases, feasibility studies, legislative impact assessments, and benefits realisation plans.
- Document requirements, processes, current and future state operating models, and decision papers.
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders, delivery teams, and external agencies to ensure solutions are fit for purpose.
- Support and mentor Business Analysts, promoting consistency and high standards across the team.
You are an experienced Senior Business Analyst with a strong background in transformation within complex, multidisciplinary environments. You thrive in ambiguity, can simplify complex problems, and have a track record of delivering outcomes that improve regulatory systems, digital services, or public-facing processes.
You will bring:
- Proven experience leading business analysis for large programmes or projects.
- Strong stakeholder engagement and relationship management skills at all levels.
- Expertise in business process mapping, requirements definition, and solution design.
- Experience working on initiatives involving regulatory change, digital service delivery, or legislative frameworks (desirable but not essential).
- Familiarity with project methodologies (e.g. PRINCE2), benefits frameworks, or Better Business Cases.
- Experience mentoring other analysts and contributing to the growth of a high-performing team.
- Relevant tertiary qualifications (CBAP or similar certification advantageous).
This is a large, community-focused public sector organisation responsible for delivering essential services nationwide. With a strong commitment to public safety and regulatory stewardship, it works alongside communities, agencies, and partners to deliver outcomes that matter.
