Business Analyst for Link Group

Background

Link Group engaged Morgan Hunt to recruit an experienced Business Analyst to support a major transformation programme covering both a Procure-to-Pay (P2P) implementation and a Housing Management System project.

The role required a strong combination of business analysis expertise, housing sector knowledge, stakeholder engagement and experience delivering complex systems and change programmes. The successful candidate needed to quickly understand Link Group’s operating environment and support the delivery of its key transformation objectives.

“Morgan Hunt have been a strong partner to Link Group across IT, Data, Project Management and Business Analysis. What stands out is their specialism in the housing sector, they understand the challenges of working within social housing and consistently deliver candidates who can add value quickly. Their approach is collaborative, responsive, and aligned to our long-term digital ambitions, which gives us real confidence in their support”
