Lead Business Analyst

Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Lead Business Analyst to serve as a highly seasoned, influential, business-first partner supporting enterprise initiatives within a Data Architecture and Enterprise Data organization. This role is focused on driving outcomes, shaping direction, and influencing decision-makers, not producing written reports or passively capturing requirements.

The Lead Business Analyst will operate as a trusted right-hand partner to senior business and data leadership, working directly with VP-level stakeholders, Data Architects, and MDM leaders to define priorities, challenge assumptions, and ensure data initiatives deliver meaningful business value. This role requires strong presence, confidence, and the ability to proactively step into ambiguity, engage stakeholders, and move work forward.

While this role does not require hands-on technical execution, the Lead Business Analyst must understand how modern data platforms and architecture (e.g., cloud data platforms, streaming, enterprise data management) support business outcomes and be able to translate business needs into effective data-driven conversations.

This position is ideal for a senior Lead BA with an enterprise mindset who understands the difference between taking orders and influencing direction, can balance vision with implementation realities, and aspires toward broader Business Architecture and domain-driven leadership.

Comprehensive benefits package included.

Salary Range: $115,000-$120,000

Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and education.
