Junior Technical Business Analyst Kings Hill, Kent Office Based 30,000 - 35,000 Are you the person who naturally asks "why"? Do you enjoy understanding how systems, processes, and people fit together? Can you spot problems, challenge assumptions, and help turn ideas into practical solutions? We are recruiting for a Junior Technical Business Analyst to join a well-established business based in Kings Hill. This role is not about producing endless documentation or following rigid processes. It is about understanding how the business works, asking the right questions, and helping teams move forward when requirements are unclear, priorities change, or problems need solving. You might currently be working as a Business Analyst, Test Analyst, QA Analyst, Systems Analyst, Application Support Analyst, Project Support Analyst, or in another role where you regularly investigate issues, work with stakeholders, and help deliver change.

Your job will be to understand what people are trying to achieve, identify what is really required, and help translate that into practical solutions. You will work across a variety of projects and initiatives, ranging from larger business improvements through to smaller day-to-day changes and enhancements. No two days are likely to be the same.

However, you should be comfortable discussing technical concepts with development and delivery teams. Useful exposure may include: Azure DevOps, Jira, ClickUp, or similar tools Basic SQL awareness Software development environments Testing and QA activities Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, or Kanban methodologies Microsoft Office applications including Visio, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint The Type of Person Who Succeeds Here You are likely to be: Naturally curious Analytical and inquisitive Comfortable dealing with ambiguity Pragmatic and solutions-focused Resilient under pressure Organised and adaptable Confident communicating with people at all levels Someone who takes ownership and gets things done You enjoy understanding how things work, identifying better ways of doing them, and helping people achieve positive outcomes. In Return Salary of 30,000 - 35,000 Exposure to a wide variety of projects and business challenges The opportunity to develop your analysis, systems, and stakeholder management skills A supportive environment where you can broaden your experience and grow your career The chance to play a genuine role in improving how the business operates If you enjoy solving problems, asking questions, and helping connect the dots between people, systems, and processes, we would love to hear from you.
