Description

About the job

Convergence Group is looking for an experienced Business Analyst to help us solve business problems, improve end-to-end processes and turn business needs into changes that deliver measurable value. Working across operational teams, Product and Development, you'll analyse processes, systems and data, identify root causes and translate business needs into clear, practical requirements.

What it’s really like here

The pace and intensity are higher than most environments in our sector. The workload is typically around 30% greater than many people will have experienced elsewhere - not because we are chaotic, but because we are ambitious and constantly building. We grow organically and through acquisition, continuously integrating, improving and raising the bar. The landscape evolves, priorities shift, and expectations rise. If you prefer a predictable, static environment, this probably won’t feel comfortable. If you are energised by growth, movement and high standards, it can be deeply rewarding.Your strengths will have a bigger platform here - and you will be stretched behaviourally more than in most environments. We value respectful honesty: anyone can challenge an idea; hierarchy doesn’t protect thinking and getting it right matters more than being right. Ego doesn’t perform well here; curiosity, learning and ownership do. We hire people who are already strong at their craft - the stretch at Convergence Group is navigating pace, complexity and constant evolution. This environment isn’t for everyone, but for the right person it offers an exceptional opportunity for impact, growth and accelerated development.

The opportunity


We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical Senior Strategy Analyst to join our Strategy Team. This role is the operational backbone of our strategy, ensuring our long-term vision is translated into measurable execution. You will partner closely with cross-functional teams (including Sales, Product, and Finance) to manage our company-wide planning and reporting processes. If you are passionate about using data to drive operational rigour, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and enjoy taking ownership of critical business processes, this is the role for you.

Requirements

  • A proven ability to approach problems in a structured, organized manner and manage processes with multiple stakeholders.
  • Advanced modeling skills (highly proficient in Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets) with an uncompromising attention to detail.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills. Comfortable translating deep data into executive-level slides, written briefs, and presentations for senior leadership.
  • Highly organised self-starter who is comfortable with ambiguity, manages multiple streams of work concurrently, and is eager to rotate into diverse cross-functional challenges.

  • 37hr working week, although hours may vary depending on role, job requirement or site-specific arrangements.
  • Early 1.30pm finish Friday, start your weekend early!
