Job Summary
The Business Analyst at First Leadership is a core member of our consulting team, responsible for driving the analytical workstreams that underpin our strategic recommendations. This is not a support role; it is a high-impact position where you will translate complex client challenges into structured solutions.
You will work across our six core service lines—Business Administration, Industrial Consulting, Electrical Engineering, Com & IT, Real Estate Evaluation, and Quality & Compliance—to gather requirements, map processes, and synthesize data into "Client-Ready" insights that support Saudi Vision 2030 initiatives.
Key Workstreams & Responsibilities
1. Structured Problem Solving & Requirements Engineering
- Define the Problem: Collaborate with Senior Consultants to break down complex client issues into manageable workstreams.
- Requirements Elicitation: Lead workshops and interviews with stakeholders to capture functional and non-functional requirements, specifically for Digital (Odoo/IT) and Industrial projects.
- Bridge the Gap: Act as the primary translator between client business needs and the technical execution teams (Engineering/IT).
2. Process Engineering & "As-Is / To-Be" Analysis
- Mapping: Document current business and operational workflows ("As-Is") across diverse sectors, from factory floor operations to real estate valuation cycles.
- Optimization: Identify bottlenecks and design improved, future-state processes ("To-Be") that enhance efficiency and compliance.
- Technical Specs: Draft Business Requirement Documents (BRD) and Functional Specifications that serve as the blueprint for project delivery.
3. Data Synthesis & Market Intelligence
- Quantitative Analysis: Perform rigorous data modeling—including market sizing, supply-demand gap analysis, and financial assumptions—for Feasibility Studies.
- Insight Synthesis: Move beyond "reporting" by synthesizing raw data from GASTAT, the Ministry of Justice, and MISA into strategic "So-What" conclusions.
- Benchmarking: Maintain and leverage internal databases for local market benchmarks (e.g., real estate cap rates or industrial OpEx).
4. Stakeholder Management & Deliverable Excellence
- Client Liaison: Manage day-to-day communication with client counterparts to ensure data flow and project alignment.
- Storylining: Support the creation of executive-level presentations and consulting reports, ensuring a logical narrative and 100% data integrity.
- Quality Gatekeeping: Verify that all deliverables meet First Leadership’s brand standards and comply with Taqeem, ZATCA, and ISO regulations.
Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Industrial Engineering, Finance, or Management Information Systems (MIS).
- Experience: 1–3 years in management consulting, business analysis, or a structured corporate environment.
- Technical Toolkit: * Mastery of Advanced Excel (Pivot Tables, Power Query, Financial Modeling).
- Proficiency in Process Mapping tools (Visio, Lucidchart, or similar).
- Familiarity with ERP ecosystems (Odoo preferred) and data visualization (Power BI).
- Bilingualism: Professional fluency in Arabic and English (essential for local stakeholder management and international-standard reporting).
Core Consulting Competencies
- Structured Thinking: The ability to apply frameworks (e.g., MECE) to organize thoughts and data.
- Ownership: A "get-it-done" attitude with the ability to manage a workstream from start to finish.
- Adaptability: Comfort switching between the technical nuances of an Electrical Engineering project and the regulatory logic of Real Estate Evaluation.
- Precision: An obsession with accuracy—recognizing that a single wrong data point can compromise a client's multi-million riyal investment.
