Technical Business Analyst Manager

At Discova, we're delivering one of our most ambitious transformation programs, and we're looking for an exceptional Technical Business Analysis Manager to help make it happen. This is more than a people leadership role. It's an opportunity to influence how technology solutions are designed, prioritised, and delivered across a complex, multi-country business.
You will lead a team of Business Analysts, establish best-in-class BA practices, and become the trusted bridge between business vision and technical delivery. Your work will directly impact how our teams operate, how our customers experience our products, and how successfully we deliver strategic change across the organisation. If you're passionate about transforming ambiguity into clarity, building high-performing teams, and driving meaningful business outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.

Establish quality frameworks, governance standards, and best practices that drive successful delivery outcomes.
Ensure business requirements are clear, testable, traceable, and aligned to technology architecture and delivery objectives.
Partner with Product Owners, Architects, Technical Leads, Test Leads, and vendors to drive alignment and informed decision-making.
Guide discovery, analysis, prioritisation, and change management activities across multiple workstreams.
Identify risks, dependencies, assumptions, and scope impacts before they become delivery challenges.
Champion process excellence across business, data, integration, and operational readiness activities.
Coach, mentor, and inspire a team of Business Analysts to deliver outstanding outcomes.
Facilitate senior stakeholder discussions and influence strategic decisions across business and technology teams.
Support successful testing, release readiness, deployment, and operational handover activities.
Champion continuous improvement and help build a high-performing BA community across Discova.
Contribute to a safe, inclusive, and accessible work environment where all Flighties feel welcomed, respected, and supported to thrive.

8+ years of Business Analysis experience within technology, digital transformation, ERP, CRM, or software delivery environments.
3+ years leading, coaching, or managing Business Analysts.
Experience delivering complex, integration-heavy programs across multiple stakeholders, vendors, and systems.
Strong expertise in requirements management, stakeholder engagement, process modelling, and traceability.
Experience working across Agile, hybrid, and structured delivery environments.
Ability to translate complex business needs into practical, scalable solutions.
Strong facilitation, communication, negotiation, and people leadership skills.
Highly regarded:
