Head of Business Analysis

Are you ready to shape and lead our Business Analysis function at Specsavers as we transform how we serve customers, support colleagues and enable partners across our global business.

We're looking for a Head of Business Analysis to lead a community of more than 50 Business Analysts spanning Business, Digital and Data Analysis. This is a rare opportunity for someone who wants to shape the future of analysis across a global organisation.

This is not a traditional Head of BA role.

Whilst leadership is critical, we're specifically looking for someone who also has a strong understanding of Data Business Analysis and experience leading, developing or maturing a Data BA function. Data is becoming increasingly important to how we deliver change at Specsavers and this role will play a key part in maturing and strengthening our Data BA capability alongside our wider Business Analysis and Digital Business Analysis communities.

You'll take ownership of the entire BA operating model, defining the standards, frameworks, methodologies, tooling and ways of working that underpin our analysis capability. We'd love to hear from people who have previously built, transformed or significantly matured a Business Analysis Practice, creating clear standards, developing capability and driving measurable improvements in delivery quality and stakeholder confidence.

Leading a team of 50+ analysts, you'll be an inspirational people leader who creates a high-performance culture, develops future leaders and builds a thriving community of practice. You'll work closely with senior Technology, Product, Delivery, Data and Business leaders, ensuring Business Analysis is recognised as a strategic capability that creates clearer requirements, enables better decisions, deeper insights and more successful change outcomes.

We're looking for someone who combines extensive Business Analysis expertise with exceptional leadership skills, a passion for developing people, and the ability to drive meaningful transformation. Experience across Business, Digital and Data Analysis is essential, alongside a proven ability to operate at senior leadership level within complex organisations.

If you're excited by the opportunity to shape, modernise and mature a large-scale BA function while creating a real capability through people, standards, capability and culture, we'd love to hear from you.
