Senior Business Analyst
Kia ora!
At Air New Zealand, we’re reimagining the future of travel commerce. As we evolve our digital platforms to better connect New Zealanders with each other and the world, we’re looking for a Senior Business Analyst to join high-impact transformation programmes focused on elevating the airline’s customer experience.
This is more than just a BA role; it’s an opportunity to shape strategic change across customer-facing channels, streamline legacy systems, and influence how our customers discover, book, and manage their travel. If you thrive in complexity, have a sharp eye for opportunity, and love translating customer needs into enterprise outcomes, we want to hear from you.
About the role
You'll play a pivotal role in transformational initiatives. Modernising and integrating the platforms that power our digital and operational customer experiences. This involves delivering across complex, interdependent systems, and working across multiple business and technical domains.
You’ll bring clarity to ambiguity, develop actionable insight from discovery, and ensure every decision keeps the customer at the centre. You’ll partner with product, technology, digital, and operational teams to shape and drive change across our digital channels, APIs, and backend systems.
This role is ideal for a strategic thinker who can navigate both macro-level design and micro-level delivery detail. Someone who’s confident engaging diverse stakeholders and who thrives in environments where systems, processes, and customer outcomes intersect.
You’ll be part of a collaborative, cross-functional environment. You’ll help teams navigate change, manage complexity and deliver impactful outcomes. You'll clarify business needs, shape solutions iteratively, and ensure projects align with strategic goals and operational excellence.
This role suits a Senior Business Analyst with excellent core BA capabilities, comfortable guiding teams from ambiguity to clear, structured delivery through iterative discovery and collaboration.
About you
You'll bring experience as a Senior Business Analyst, ideally within complex, large-scale projects.
Key experience we're interested in includes:
At least five years as a Senior Business Analyst
Strong strategic thinking, capable of connecting business objectives with customer value and technical feasibility.
Comfortable making decisions in ambiguity, influencing without authority, and aligning cross-functional teams behind a shared direction.
Proven capability in workshops, discovery, stakeholder management and clear documentation
Strong experience with user stories, process mapping and options analysis
Comfortable with agile environments and practices, comfortable with iterative delivery approaches
Experience working on digital transformation, AI, APIs, vendor integration or software development projects
