Why we're hiring:

WPP is driving one of the largest transformations in the marketing and advertising industry. Under the leadership of our Global CIO, we are uniting 2,500+ technology professionals into a single global function – powering the future of our agencies and clients. As part of this, we are delivering a global CRM transformation, consolidating multiple legacy platforms into a single Microsoft Dynamics–based solution. This programme will simplify our tech landscape, enhance client visibility, and enable consistent, data-driven ways of working worldwide.

We’re looking for a Senior Business Analyst to play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering this transformation. You will lead discovery, define requirements, and ensure business needs are translated into high-quality solutions.

Working at the intersection of business, design, and technology, you’ll partner closely with functional, change, and delivery teams to:

• Drive clear, structured discovery and analysis
• Enable strong, globally aligned functional design
• Support the move from local solutions to standardised global processes
• Ensure traceability from business outcomes to delivery

This is a high-impact role, central to reducing complexity, driving adoption, and delivering real business value across WPP.

What you'll be doing:

• Lead end-to-end discovery across markets, agencies, and functions to understand current processes, systems, pain points, and opportunities

• Elicit, analyse, and document business requirements, use cases, and user stories aligned to the global CRM vision

• Support the design of future-state global CRM processes in partnership with the CRM Functional Lead and Design Authority

• Evaluate market, agency, and client-specific needs, distinguishing core global requirements from local configuration

• Ensure clear traceability between business requirements, functional design, and delivered outcomes

• Collaborate with technology teams and system integrators to clarify requirements and support delivery

• Contribute to prioritisation, release planning, and trade-off decisions through evidence-based analysis

• Support change and adoption by creating clear, user-friendly documentation and workflows

• Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and impacts related to scope, processes, and data

• Support the definition of CRM data structures, standards, and governance

• Ensure alignment between process design, data models, and reporting requirements

• Drive improvements in data quality, consistency, and usage across CRM

What you'll need:

• Proven experience as a Senior Business Analyst on large scale, global technology or platform transformation programmes 
• Strong discovery and analysis capability in complex, decentralised or multi business organisations
• Experience working on CRM, ERP, or enterprise SaaS implementations (Microsoft Dynamics experience beneficial but not essential)
• Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business needs into clear, structured requirements
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work effectively with senior business leaders, product owners, and technical teams
• Comfortable operating across both strategic discovery and detailed delivery phases
