Senior Business Analyst

Analyst
Cape Town – Western Cape – South Africa

Senior Business Analyst | Hybrid | Johannesburg or Cape Town | Permanent
Are you the kind of BA who doesn’t just gather requirements – but sees the gaps, reads the room, and drives a solution through to delivery?
We’re looking for a Senior Business Analyst with the kind of depth that only comes from experience. Someone who’s walked the path, made the mistakes, learnt the lessons – and knows how to lead a project from a blank page to a working system.
In this role, you won’t be spoon-fed. You’ll be running small engagements end-to-end: meeting with clients, gathering and documenting requirements, scoping and sizing the work, managing delivery, and mentoring others along the way.
This is a great opportunity for someone who’s worked across different domains, knows how to ramp up quickly, and thrives in environments where no two projects look the same.
 
Type: Permanent – Hybrid (3 Days in office)
Salary: R90k – R110k+ pm (negotiable depending on experience)
Area: Century City / Hyde Park
 
What you’ll be doing
    • Leading full-cycle software delivery engagements across multiple client projects
    • Gathering, analysing and documenting business and technical requirements
    • Managing delivery across the SDLC – from early discovery to go-live
    • Running workshops, facilitating user stories, managing backlogs and grooming sessions
    • Collaborating closely with developers, designers, architects, testers and stakeholders
    • Drawing up wireframes, customer journeys, functional specs, and process flows
    • Managing scope, expectations, risks and timelines like a pro
    • Getting involved in architectural conversations and influencing design decisions
    • Mentoring junior team members, and being a calm, mature voice in tough moments
    • Driving change within teams and earning trust with clients
 
What we’re looking for
    • A degree in IT, Engineering, Sciences or BCom Information Systems
    • A proven Senior BA with at least 6 years of experience in agile software teams and consulting companies
    • Strong technical understanding — you can speak dev without being a developer
    • A confident facilitator, presenter, and communicator
    • A track record of managing scope, stakeholders, and small projects end-to-end
    • You’ve worked across industries and are quick to get up to speed in new domains
    • You’re someone who asks “why” before jumping to “how”
    • A natural mentor who can hold others accountable with empathy and clarity
    • Comfortable in hybrid working environments (3 days in-office)
 
Bonus points if you also have:
    • Experience with APIs, data flows and integration-heavy systems
    • Exposure to tools like BPMN, UML, design thinking frameworks
    • A strong interest in solution architecture or product design
 
This role needs a Senior who can bring calm to complexity, make confident decisions, and carry others with them.
