We are looking for an experienced Business Analyst to join a high-impact business divestment programme with a global organisation.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a BA with experience in divestment, carve-outs, business separation or M&A to play a key role in understanding how a business currently operates and what is required for it to successfully operate as a standalone organisation.

You'll work across the business to identify dependencies, ask the right questions and help define what needs to be separated, established or retained across the organisation.

This is a holistic business analysis role , so we're looking for someone who can look beyond individual systems or processes and understand the wider picture.

What You'll Be Doing

• Analyse the current state of the business being divested and understand how it operates within the wider organisation.

• Identify dependencies between the business being divested and the parent organisation.

• Assess what the business needs to operate independently following separation.

• Engage with stakeholders across Finance, HR, Sales, Operations, Legal, IT, Data and other business functions .

• Identify business, operational, process, people, data, application and technology dependencies.

• Ask the right questions to uncover hidden dependencies and separation requirements.

• Support the definition of the future-state/standalone business environment.

• Document current-state and future-state processes, requirements, dependencies and gaps.

• Work collaboratively with business and technical stakeholders across the UK, Europe and the US .

• Support the wider divestment programme with clear analysis, documentation and actionable recommendations.

• Help ensure that critical business capabilities are understood and addressed as part of the separation.
