As Lead Business Analyst, you lead the Business Analyst discipline across LYNX, setting the standard for analysis quality, coaching every BA in the organisation, and being the escalation point when quality or capacity issues arise.

You own the BA competency ladder, decide on tooling (including AI-assisted analysis), and take on hands-on BA work yourself for the most strategic or complex initiatives.

You’ll also help prepare the discipline for an AI-augmented future, though that part of the mandate only becomes active once the relevant tooling and operating model are in place.

What you’ll do

• Set the standard for process, functionality and content analysis, and coach BAs to do the same.

• Act as the escalation point between Business Analysts, Product Managers and Development/Run teams.

• Own the overall quality of BA deliverables across LYNX, regardless of squad.

• Run periodic quality audits of BA deliverables and decision papers across all squads.

• Conduct performance reviews, set development plans and manage career growth for all Business Analysts.

• Own and maintain the BA competency/career ladder used for hiring, levelling and promotion.

• Allocate BAs across squads based on demand and manage the recruitment pipeline for the discipline.

• Take on hands-on BA or BA/PO work personally for strategic or high-complexity initiatives.
