As a Business Analyst Consultant at YLD, you'll be part of a client team driving an Energy Transformation program. We're looking for someone curious, passionate, driven, and enthusiastic, skilled in mapping complex business processes and translating energy market requirements into clear technical specifications.

Delivery experience on large-scale system transformation or data migration programs under tight deadlines;

Proactive risk management skills;

Confidence facilitating input from Engineering, Design, and Commercial teams;

Strong presentation and communication skills.

You should apply if you are:

Able to influence cross-functional partners with well-reasoned business cases;

Self-motivated and proactive;

A strong communicator, able to translate technical ideas into business-friendly language;

Detail-oriented and analytical;

Pragmatic, balancing innovation with practical technology choices;

A team player who thrives in collaborative, cross-functional settings;

A genuine believer in diversity and fairness.
