Business Analyst & Solution Design Lead

Imagine yourself in a role where your professional growth and creativity are championed every step of the way. Opus is the UK’s largest independent Managed Service Providers, recently ranked as “World class” by the Best Companies to work for awards. 

Be a key player in our Digital Transformation team

We are building a focused Digital Transformation capability and are looking for a hands-on Business Analysis & Solution Design Lead to help shape how our systems, data, and processes evolve.

This is not a traditional Business Analyst role. You won’t just gather requirements and hand them over. You will work close to how solutions are actually designed and implemented—across systems, integrations, and data—to ensure change is practical, scalable, and delivers real outcomes.

We operate primarily within the Microsoft ecosystem, but this role requires someone who can think beyond specific platforms, understanding how technology, data, and emerging capabilities such as AI can be leveraged to solve problems and transform how the business operates.

You will sit at the centre of transformation—turning business priorities into clear, buildable solutions and ensuring they are practically deliverable.

Define how success is measured:

Data, AI & Modern Technology Focus

A key part of this role is understanding how data and emerging technologies can drive transformation.

You will:

Understand how data can be structured and used to:

•    ?Improve decision-making

•    ?Enable automation

•    ?Reduce manual effort

Be comfortable exploring and shaping opportunities involving:

•    ?AI-driven insights

•    ?Intelligent automation

•    ?Data-led processes

You are not expected to build AI models, but you must understand:

•    Where it adds value

•    How it fits into real-world solutions
