Help empower millions to achieve more by joining a world-class Microsoft consultancy.

WM Reply are a global award-winning Microsoft consultancy. We work with the biggest household names across all industries including manufacturing, consumer technology, media, retail, food manufacturing and financial services. Our mission is to empower people to achieve more through technology. Specifically, we focus on Microsoft 365 and improving the employee experience through tools like Copilot, Teams, Power Platform and SharePoint.

Role overview:

As a Graduate Business Analyst, you'll play a key role in helping organisations get the most from Microsoft 365. You’ll work with enterprise clients to design smart solutions, support digital change initiatives, and create engaging communications that help employees adopt new tools with confidence.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with clients to understand their goals and gather business requirements

• Support the rollout of Microsoft 365 tools like Teams, SharePoint, Viva, and Copilot

• Help design and deliver tailored solutions that enhance collaboration and productivity

• Create engaging communication campaigns and training materials to support user adoption

• Apply change management approaches (e.g. ADKAR) to guide people through transitions

• Stay on top of the latest Microsoft 365 features, tools, and trends

• Work closely with cross-functional teams including developers, designers, and consultants
  

So, here’s what’s important to us:

• A 2:1 degree – this could be in business, IT, communications, or a creative subject

• A strong interest in technology and how it can improve the way people work

• Clear and confident communication skills – written, visual, and verbal

• A creative thinker who enjoys solving problems and thinking from the user’s perspective

• A collaborative, can-do attitude and willingness to learn

• Any experience in tech, consultancy, change, communications or design is a bonus

In our annual employee survey employees rated their overall satisfaction at a 6.4/7 on average. But why do people love it here?

• Our people are our most valued asset so keeping them happy is a priority. We promote from within as default, support people when the times are hard and celebrate hard when times are good.

• Innovation is treasured and celebrated. With experts across the full stack of Microsoft technology there’s always something to learn or new to try out.

• We are social by design – with hybrid working enabled across all our roles you can expect plenty of working from home but enjoy regular visits to spend time with your delightful colleagues.

• We’re very proud of the diversity at WM Reply. For example, 40% of our staff are female which is double the industry standard. Representation goes from junior roles all the way to the top including our CEO and Founder. But we recognise we can do better so we’re always interested to hear from candidates from different walks of life. Hear what our staff have to say about diversity and inclusion.
