Collaborate with IT Business Analysts and technical teams to clarify requirements, resolve queries, and ensure business intent is accurately reflected in solution design and implementation.

Support vendor engagement by defining requirements, reviewing proposed solutions, and ensuring third-party deliverables align with agreed business needs.

Support solution validation, user acceptance testing, and business readiness to ensure delivered capabilities meet agreed requirements and are fit for purpose.

Facilitate workshops, requirement reviews, and stakeholder discussions to drive alignment, decision-making, and consensus across cross-functional teams.

Maintain strong awareness of digital trends, customer needs, business priorities, and market developments to support continuous improvement and innovation.

What we are looking for:

The successful candidate will bring strong business analysis expertise, excellent stakeholder management capability, and experience supporting digital delivery and business change.

A minimum of 3 years’ experience in a Business Analyst or Senior Business Analyst role, ideally supporting digital, business change, or transformation initiatives.

Proven experience eliciting, analysing, documenting, and validating business requirements, process flows, use cases, and business rules.

Strong experience working with business stakeholders to assess current-state processes, define future-state requirements, and identify improvement opportunities.

Experience supporting digital product or technology-enabled delivery in a complex organisational environment.

Strong analytical, problem-solving, and process-mapping capability, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and competing business demands.

Experience facilitating workshops, stakeholder interviews, requirement reviews, and decision-making sessions across cross-functional teams.

Experience working collaboratively with Product Managers, UX Designers, Product Owners, IT teams, vendors, and testing teams to support successful solution delivery.

Experience contributing to user acceptance testing, solution validation, business readiness, and implementation support.
