Overview
Are you passionate about turning complex data into insight that drives real business change? At Specsavers, we're looking for a Senior Data Business Analyst to play a key role in shaping how data is understood, designed, and delivered across some of our most important transformation initiatives.
Role Summary
This is an exciting opportunity to sit at the intersection of business, data, and technology. As a Senior Data Business Analyst, you'll lead data‑focused analysis across complex programmes, working closely with Data Product Managers, Data Engineers, Architects, and Delivery Leads to ensure data solutions are well‑defined, scalable, and truly fit for purpose. You won't just be capturing requirements; you'll be shaping outcomes.
What You'll Bring
You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy leading by example and setting the standard for high‑quality data analysis. You'll mentor and coach other Data Business Analysts, contribute to a growing Data BA community of practice, and help continuously improve how data analysis is done across the organisation. Where required, you may also take on line management responsibilities, supporting development, performance, and career progression within the team.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead current‑state data analysis, map complex source data landscapes, and work with stakeholders to define scope and high‑level data requirements.
* Analyse source systems, data models, and end‑to‑end data flows, translating complex findings into clear, development‑ready user stories.
* Use strong SQL and data analysis skills to understand relationships and ensure downstream ingestion, transformation, and reporting are built on solid foundations.
* Bridge technical and non‑technical worlds as an expert communicator, distilling complex data concepts into clear narratives.
* Work in Agile environments, manage backlogs, refine user stories, support UAT, and ensure delivered solutions meet business needs while aligning with data architecture, governance, and quality principles.
* Influence data‑centric initiatives such as reporting & analytics, data migration, or MDM to support better customer and colleague experiences.
Qualifications & Experience
We’re looking for someone who has worked on large‑scale, data‑centric initiatives such as reporting and analytics, data migration, or MDM. You should be excited by the opportunity to influence how data enables better customer and colleague experiences and have the desire and ability to shape data foundations that support Specsavers‘ mission to change lives through better sight and hearing.
