Senior Business Analyst

At Vattenfall, we don’t just “do energy” — we help our customers power their lives in ever more climate-smart ways. Our ambition is clear: to enable fossil-free living within one generation.

If you are looking for meaningful challenges and want to play an active role in the energy transition, join our diverse and talented team and help shape the future of energy.

Your role

We are now looking for a Senior Business Analyst to join our Hamburg office, with a solid background in the energy industry. In this role, you will lead complex analysis initiatives, work closely with senior stakeholders, and translate strategic goals into measurable business value across trading, assets, and operations.

What success looks like

You are successful when you are seen as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders — someone who can turn complex and ambiguous challenges into clear decisions, structured requirements, and outcomes that are actually implemented.

You proactively shape initiatives rather than only supporting them, ensuring that strategy is translated into tangible results.

Your responsibilities

In this role, you will:

• Lead end-to-end business analysis initiatives and present insights and recommendations to senior stakeholders
• Drive problem and opportunity analyses, including root cause identification and development of target operating models
• Facilitate workshops and stakeholder sessions to align business and IT perspectives
• Translate business needs into clear, structured, and solution-agnostic business requirements
• Collaborate with Solution Architects and Product Owners to define and refine solution requirements
• Manage requirements throughout their full lifecycle: prioritisation, validation, change impact assessment, traceability, and acceptance
• Support larger initiatives and tenders by structuring requirements and evaluating solution options
• Contribute to continuous improvement of tools, methods, and ways of working within BA Markets

Your profile

We believe you bring:

• 6+ years of experience as a Business Analyst in complex environments
• Proven experience within the energy industry (e.g. utilities, energy trading, commodities, market operations)
• Strong stakeholder management and facilitation skills, with confidence working with senior leadership
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to challenge the status quo constructively
• Ability to conduct independent research and translate findings into value-driven recommendations
• A structured mindset and the ability to move from ambiguity to clarity, producing decision-ready material
• Confidence working across business and IT in large, cross-functional initiatives

Why Vattenfall

At Vattenfall, you will be part of a company where your work truly matters. We offer:

• A role at the core of the energy transition with real societal impact
• High stakeholder exposure and the opportunity to influence key decisions
• A collaborative and experienced Business Analyst community within BA Markets
• Flexible working arrangements and an international environment
