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.
