Contract Type: Permanent – Full Time
We are the UK's aviation regulator and recognised as a world leader in its field. Our activities are diverse, enabling the aviation industry to meet the highest safety standards, and we pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to the constantly evolving aviation environment.
The Role
We have an exciting new role for a Business Analyst to join our Portfolio Delivery department. The CAA’s Portfolio comprises a diverse group of programmes and projects; this includes large transformational programmes to help us deliver our strategic plan to make aviation better for those who choose to fly- and those who do not.
These programmes and projects will impact the way we operate, improving efficiency as well as refreshing key IT systems and supporting our aspirations to become a better regulator and improve choice and value for consumers
Reporting to the Project Manager of the project to which they are assigned, this post will support the delivery of projects through the provision and application of effective and robust business analysis activities.

The post-holder will need to be able to work at a detailed level, ensuring that business needs are sufficient to enable options to be defined, designed, and implemented.

The role requires excellent communication skills and the ability to provide challenge where information is inconsistent, or solutions do not represent value for money.
