Salary: Up to £50,000 • Location: Manchester

*Business Analyst *

We’re BrightHR. We saw that small business owners were spending hours every day on their HR tasks, and we wanted to create a system that made those same chores quicker and easier to do. So, we put our heads together and created software that was unlike any other, and that’s how BrightHR was born. Since our launch in 2015, we’ve branched out into other areas of HR for small businesses.

Now, we offer 24/7 employment law advice, expert health & safety support, a confidential employee wellbeing service and much more! No wonder 100,000 businesses – across the UK, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and Australia—trust us to free them of their paperwork and keep them on the right side of the law!

There’s also 200 of us! You’ll mostly find us in our modern, city center office which boasts some of the best views you’ll get of the city and is a stone’s throw from Victoria Station. We believe that magic happens when talented people get together in a room and our hybrid approach of 4 days in the office & 1 day at home, has nurtured a tight-knit community at BrightHR, one where face-to-face interaction isn't just a necessity; it's a preference that drives our collaborative spirit and creative solutions.

We’re on the lookout for a Business Analyst to join our vibrant team and be part of a highly successful, mature, profit-making business that retains the community driven approach of a start-up. We're looking for a highly adaptable problem solver, who's eager to work in a collaborative environment, championing innovation and delivering quality solutions for our web and mobile applications. If you're passionate about delivering value to our customers, and thrive in a dynamic, agile setting, we'd love to hear from you.
