Job Description
A career at Arup offers you the chance to make a positive difference in the world. Independently owned and independently minded, we attract a diverse mix of people to work on ground-breaking global projects. We have an ambitious commitment to be the digital leader in the built environment and have digital teams and experts all over the world, who collaborate on world-leading software, data and technology projects and products. Being a global team means we value people with diverse experiences, backgrounds, specialisms and skills.
The role
As a business analyst, you will join a growing team that contribute to the digital delivery portfolio within Arup. Our technology projects underpin Arup’s digital strategy, which is focused on data, products and automation. You will work with stakeholders and users across the organisation to identify opportunities, articulate and prioritise business needs, and propose or design deliverable solutions that help make the strategy a reality. We are not looking for someone to purely gather requirements or write up processes – the role is an opportunity to shape and contribute to our digital transformation. The role is based in our Hong Kong office and will be part of a geographically diverse, remote team.
This role will form part of a geographically distributed team of 8 staff, reporting into the lead business analyst based in London.
“We are always challenging ourselves and the people around us to think differently so that we can understand our business problems better and develop creative solutions. No two projects are ever the same – each presents a unique set of challenges as well as opportunities to acquire new knowledge, learn new skills, and build new connections with colleagues from different disciplines across the globe.”

- Familiarity with data, analytics, business intelligence, data science, or metrics and KPIs
- Understanding of policy and operating model development in an innovative stakeholder environment
