About the Position

Business Analist - Informatie & IT | Nieuwegein

Nieuwegein, UT, Netherlands

With over 51,000 colleagues in nearly 30 countries, we are among the top European digital solutions providers. Successful organizations in Europe trust our technology because we continue to strive for innovation, collaboration, and business development.

The world is how we shape it. Let’s shape it together.

Make a difference at the intersection of business and IT

Organizations are increasingly moving towards data-driven work and AI. In practice, this is more challenging than expected: data is spread across systems, processes do not align, and no one has the exact same view of the problem. At the same time, the analyst profession itself is changing rapidly: AI tools are increasingly taking over routine analysis work, shifting the real value to asking the right questions, structuring complexity, and making sharp choices.

You join at a time when organizations are getting stuck. You bring structure to the complexity and ensure they can move forward again.

Important: this is not a BI or data analyst role. You will not build dashboards or work with tools like Power BI or Tableau. The focus is on understanding information, structuring data, and translating it into IT solutions.

Responsibilities

• You thoroughly understand the organization, processes, and the underlying information domain
• You map information flows and data concepts
• You conduct analyses (IST/SOLL, gap analyses)
• You identify improvement opportunities and provide direction for solutions
• You translate business needs into concrete IT solutions
• You coordinate with stakeholders and guide decision-making
• You help clients make their ambitions around data and AI concrete: defining use cases, mapping boundary conditions, and determining a realistic path to implementation

In many assignments, the problem is not yet clearly defined upfront. You will receive a role description, but you will need to discover and explicitly define the core of the issue yourself. This requires you to analyze independently, make choices, and continuously adjust throughout the assignment.

You will work for large public and private organizations where information provision, digitalization, and data play a crucial role, from designing information chains to preparing AI applications. You will work closely with architects, developers, product owners, and business stakeholders.

Requirements

• A completed HBO or WO degree in an IT-related field (e.g., Informatics, Technical Informatics, Software Engineering, or Business IT & Management)
• 3 to 5 years of experience in the IT domain, with at least 2 to 3 years in an analyst role (business analyst, information analyst, or functional designer), preferably in an IT-driven environment
• Experience in analyzing issues and translating them into solutions within an IT landscape
• The ability to recognize and structure the question behind the question
• Affinity with data, information flows, and the possibilities that AI offers for both clients and the analyst profession itself
• Fluent command of the Dutch language (C1/C2), both spoken and written
• Strong communication skills and the ability to involve stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Experience with models such as BPMN, UML, or ArchiMate (or similar methodologies)
• Experience in agile or DevOps environments
• Ability to switch smoothly between business stakeholders and IT teams
• Ability to clearly explain complex issues to colleagues without a technical background
• Experimenting with AI tools in your work and having an opinion on what works and what doesn't

We Offer

You will join a group of business and information analysts who actively develop knowledge around information provision, data foundations, and AI - both in what we do for clients and in how we shape our own profession in the AI era. Through knowledge sessions, intervision, and substantive sparring, you will not only work on client issues but also actively develop your own expertise.

You can expect:

• Varied and substantively strong projects in which you continuously progress
• Space for training, certification, and personal development
• Coaching and guidance tailored to your development needs
• Growth opportunities towards senior consultant, solution architect, or business consultant
• An open, inclusive, and professional working environment

At Sopra Steria, we ensure that you can do your work with pleasure and in balance. Therefore, we offer an attractive and flexible package of employment conditions:

• A fixed contract and a gross monthly salary between €4,000 and €6,000 based on a full-time employment (40 hours per week)
• At Sopra Steria, we believe in equal pay for equal work. Therefore, we determine your salary based on objective criteria such as experience, knowledge, competencies, and responsibilities. This ensures a fair and transparent remuneration that matches your background and the impact of your role.
• Vacation allowance of 8%
• A profit-sharing scheme with a target payout of 8% of the gross (part-time) annual salary, depending on company results
• A mobility scheme with the choice of an electric lease car or an alternative transport arrangement, suitable for your situation
• 27 vacation days, with the option to buy or sell additional vacation days
• Flexible hybrid working conditions: home, office, or client site, depending on the role and possibilities within assignments
• A home office package with a laptop, telephone, and a monthly internet allowance
• Plenty of opportunities for professional and personal development through training, certifications, knowledge sessions, and inspiring events
• Various social activities with colleagues, from informal drinks to sports and substantive events
• Opportunities for tax-friendly repayment of your student debt
• An extensive range of benefits through our cafeteria model, including a bicycle scheme, sports subscriptions, solar panels, and group insurance
• A pension scheme with an employer contribution and the option to realize additional pension accumulation voluntarily
