Senior Business Analyst (Gov and Compliance)

ServiceNow Business Analyst - London (1-2 days p/w) - Up to £90,000

If you're the kind of BA who thrives on shaping clarity out of complexity, especially across governance, audit, IRM and asset lifecycle workflows, this role is built for you.

We're looking for a seasoned Senior Business Analyst who knows their ServiceNow domain inside out. Someone who can confidently champion out of the box approaches, tell a compelling story to stakeholders, and guide clients through real transformation rather than surface level change.

In this role, you'll work across compliance, governance, IRM migration, audit readiness and HAM/SAM lifecycle management while partnering closely with banking clients who rely on you to connect their real world processes to platform capabilities.

What makes this role compelling?

You'll step into a position where your voice genuinely shapes the solution. You won't be gathering requirements in a vacuum. You'll be leading workshops, influencing platform strategy, challenging assumptions and steering clients toward best practice. You'll own the narrative, the process and the value story.

What you'll take ownership of

✓ Stakeholder engagement that actually matters

• Lead workshops to uncover requirements and educate clients on ServiceNow capabilities

• Translate banking processes into clear ServiceNow workflows and user stories

• Defend best practice out of the box approaches while keeping stakeholders onside

✓ Solution and delivery leadership

• Drive the design and configuration of ServiceNow ITSM, ITOM and governance modules

• Identify automation and optimisation opportunities across client environments

• Align solutions closely with ITIL and platform best practice

✓ Compliance, audit and governance expertise

• Translate audit findings into actionable user stories and acceptance criteria

• Lead IRM migration projects from start to finish

• Oversee HAM/SAM lifecycle governance and EUC compliance standards

✓ Data, testing and quality oversight

• Validate data models, mapping and integration requirements

• Ensure robust testing coverage and UAT success

✓ Mentorship and leadership

• Support junior consultants and shape delivery quality across engagements

What you'll bring

• 5+ years as a Business Analyst in ITSM or ServiceNow environments

• Hands-on experience across IRM, HAM, SAM, compliance or audit driven work

• Strong familiarity with ITIL processes

• Ability to lead workshops, influence senior stakeholders and articulate domain concepts clearly

• ServiceNow certifications such as CSA, CAD or CIS-ITSM

• Banking or financial services experience is highly desirable
