Reporting Into The Head Of Business Process Integration you will work alongside IT and business colleagues to help shape and deliver an exciting transformation programme. You will play a key role in communicating between technology teams and business users, acting as a 'translator' where necessary to convey how technology can support the business’ needs.
You will need to be able to rapidly understand the current business capabilities and processes, identify future needs and help create solutions to meet those needs - usually (but not exclusively) in relation to the use of technology.
When working as part of individual project teams, your main tasks will include performing detailed requirements analysis, documenting processes, and performing some user acceptance testing. Experience of test planning and management would be useful, as on smaller projects this may need to be undertaken by the Business Analyst. To succeed in this role, you should have a natural analytical way of thinking and be able to explain difficult concepts to non-technical users.
As part of the Portfolio Delivery Team the Business Analyst will be involved in agreeing the business prioritisation and delivery timelines with the key business stakeholders and report progress via the project Steering Committee and project sponsors.
