About the role

As a Business Analyst at dxw, you’ll work in multidisciplinary teams to shape and improve digital services for the public good. You’ll help organisations understand how their services operate today, identify opportunities for improvement, and ensure digital products and services deliver measurable value.

You’ll combine analytical thinking with strong stakeholder engagement. You’ll work closely with user researchers, designers, developers and delivery leads to define requirements, support evidence-based decision-making and ensure services meet both user needs and organisational objectives.

This is a hands-on delivery role within the Product & Performance team. You’ll largely operate in complex public and third sector environments, bringing structure, clarity and insight to digital transformation work.

We value diverse perspectives and encourage people with a broad range of experience to apply. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience within the health and justice sectors.

• Identify opportunities for service and operational improvement.

• Support clients to understand the impact of proposed changes.

• Contribute to defining target operating models where appropriate.

• Analyse qualitative and quantitative data to inform service and product design and delivery.

• Work as part of agile, multidisciplinary teams.

About dxw

We’re an employee-owned agency of technology, design and delivery experts who work primarily with public and third sector organisations to build usable and accessible digital services that fit seamlessly into user’s lives.

We help organisations like the NHS, the Department for Education, and Citizens Advice spend less money on technology, so that they can spend more on helping the most vulnerable. We aim not only to produce better services, but to radically and permanently improve people’s interactions with government to make it a better instrument of good.

Recent projects include improving access to adult social care, supporting rehabilitation of people leaving prison, and many more.

One of the things that makes us different is that we are employee-owned, so we are not beholden to external shareholders, and are protected against being taken over by private equity. It also means we can prioritise being an inclusive employer, reducing our impact on the planet, and working in the open. We particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented in tech and/or looking for flexible working arrangements.

What we offer

We want our team to feel supported both inside and outside of work. Alongside a competitive salary, we offer a range of benefits designed to promote flexibility, wellbeing, and long-term security:

• Time off & balance: A generous 28 days of annual leave per year, plus all England bank holidays. We also offer a holiday buy and sell scheme, giving you the flexibility to customise your time off to suit you.

• Family-first support: Up to 18 weeks of paid parental leave to support your family, depending on your situation.

• Health & wellbeing: A healthcare cash plan providing financial support to help cover everyday medical, dental, and optical costs, plus 24/7 confidential support and counselling whenever you need it.

• Workplace flexibility: Flexible hours to support your work-life balance, top-tier tech, and a home office budget to build a comfortable setup.

• Collaborative environments: Full access to our London and Leeds offices, alongside a network of co-working spaces across the UK.

• Financial future & travel: We’ll match your pension contributions up to 6%, provide comprehensive life cover, and offer interest-free season ticket loans alongside the Cycle to Work scheme.
