We're looking for an experienced Senior Business Analyst with strong metals mining industry knowledge to join an exciting business transformation engagement supporting a major mining organisation.

This role requires someone who understands gold and copper mining operations and can confidently challenge business requirements, facilitate workshops and help shape future-state processes aligned with standard ERP capabilities.

You'll play a key role in a business transformation program, working with senior stakeholders and operational teams across multiple mining sites.

The focus will be on understanding current business processes, identifying opportunities for improvement and helping the organisation assess how standard SAP S/4HANA and Pronto functionality can support its future operating model.

You'll lead business requirements discussions, facilitate workshops and provide practical recommendations that balance operational needs with ERP best practices.

Location: Sydney preferred, with hybrid arrangements. Remote candidates may also be considered.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Facilitate business requirements workshops across six mining sites, engaging operational teams, functional leads and senior stakeholders.

• Challenge and validate business requirements against standard ERP capabilities and industry best practices.

• Capture and document strategic and high-level functional business requirements.

• Assess current business processes, identify gaps and recommend future-state improvements.

• Conduct business readiness, gap and change impact assessments.

• Develop business cases, options analysis and recommendations to support investment decisions.

• Work with finance and project teams to assess costs, benefits, risks and implementation considerations.

• Prepare clear reports, presentations and recommendations for senior executives.

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• Strong knowledge of metals mining operations, particularly gold and copper mining processes.

• Extensive experience in senior business consulting, business analysis, business architecture or transformation roles.

• Experience delivering ERP-enabled or enterprise-wide business transformation initiatives.

• Strong workshop facilitation skills, particularly with operational stakeholders and senior executives.

• Ability to challenge business requirements and promote standardised processes rather than unnecessary ERP customisation.

• Experience capturing strategic and Level 1 functional requirements across complex organisations.

• Strong understanding of business readiness, gap analysis and change impact assessments.

• Experience developing business cases, investment plans and executive-level recommendations.

• Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication and analytical skills.

Highly Regarded:

• Experience with SAP S/4HANA, Pronto Xi or comparable enterprise ERP platforms.

• Experience working across multiple mining sites or other asset-intensive environments.

• Relevant qualifications in business analysis, project delivery or change management, such as IIBA, Prosci or PRINCE2.
