Senior Business Analyst - Digital Transformation

Innovation at the core. Powering a smarter future.
At Vector, we believe innovation is key to building a cleaner, more connected energy future. We partner globally, apply cutting-edge technologies, and continuously evolve how our network operates, from predictive analytics to AI-enabled insights.

The role
We're embarking on a once-in-a-generation transformation. Our Vector Digital Roadmap Programme, redefining how Vector operates today and into the future.

As a Digital Roadmap Business Analyst, you'll help shape enterprise-wide digital capability, working across systems, platforms and business domains to define direction.

You'll operate in early-stage, often ambiguous problem spaces, partnering with senior stakeholders to frame problems, explore options and influence long-term decisions. Alongside shaping direction, you'll take ideas through to structured outputs, translating evolving concepts into clear requirements, artefacts and decision inputs that enable progress into design and delivery.

Key focus areas include:
Leading problem definition and shaping
Supporting RFI processes to explore the market and emerging capabilities
Enabling cross-functional alignment across portfolios and teams
Facilitating workshops to bring diverse stakeholders together and drive clarity
Contributing to ecosystem thinking, integrating multiple platforms rather than a single-system view
Driving data-led thinking, including shared data, insights and AI enablement
Understanding and mapping how work, data and decisions flow across systems and teams
Structuring options, trade-offs and recommendations to support decision-making

This is a highly strategic role, influencing decisions that will shape Vector's digital capability over the next 5-20 years, while still contributing to tangible outcomes as ideas move toward delivery.

What makes this role different
Works across multiple systems and capabilities
Deals with unclear problems and evolving direction
Supports portfolio-level decision-making
Focuses on long-term capability uplift
Operates across both early shaping and downstream delivery when required

Who we're looking for
We're looking for a strategic, curious and adaptable Business Analyst who thrives in ambiguity and can operate confidently at both conceptual and delivery levels.

You'll bring:
Experience working on large-scale transformation programmes (ERP or digital), ideally in complex enterprise environments
Proven ability to shape problems and influence direction early, not just execute defined scope
Strong capability in stakeholder engagement, including working across senior leaders and multiple teams
Experience facilitating workshops and driving alignment in ambiguous environments
The ability to translate evolving concepts into clear requirements, artefacts or decision inputs
Experience supporting RFI/RFx processes and evaluating solution options
The ability to think in ecosystems, integrating platforms, data and capabilities rather than focusing on a single system
A strong understanding of how work, data and decisions flow across systems and teams
Experience structuring options, trade-offs and recommendations to support decision-making
Confidence working in ambiguous, evolving environments where direction is not always fully defined
Ability to operate across both early shaping and delivery when required

Work on problems that are strategic, complex and genuinely impactful
Join a collaborative environment where cross-functional thinking is critical to success
