Job Description

Senior Associate - Business Analyst

Department: IT

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Description

The Business Analyst will work on prioritised projects, agreed with the Head of Value Enablement, to secure successful project outcomes through the gathering and analysis of requirements, assessment of business impacts, identification of desired outcomes and implementation of effective solutions.

The role acts as a critical link between business stakeholders, Product Management, Architecture, Engineering teams and offshore delivery teams. The Business Analyst will translate business problems into clearly defined requirements, ensuring teams fully understand the problem being solved, the expected business outcomes and how success will be measured.

The successful candidate will be responsible for managing multiple projects and workstreams simultaneously, creating and maintaining key delivery artefacts including process models, user journeys, personas, business requirements and solution-shaping documentation.

The Business Analyst will possess a strong problem-solving mindset, focusing on sustainable, long-term solutions rather than short-term workarounds, while helping to maximise the value delivered through our technology investments.

· Build and maintain strong relationships with business stakeholders, technology teams, third-party suppliers and offshore partners.

· Contribute to product roadmap discussions and help translate roadmap objectives into deliverable functionality and measurable value.

· Support testing activities throughout the project lifecycle, including hands-on testing where required.

· Participate in Agile ceremonies and support Agile delivery practices across aligned teams.

· Monitor project progress and proactively identify risks, dependencies and issues.

· Perform any other duties as assigned, with accountability and responsibility agreed in advance.
