Description
BUSINESS ANALYST
We’re hiring a Business Analyst to join our team to deliver projects for our clients across a broad range of industries, with a particular focus on delivering Business Applications.
This is a full-time, permanent role. Each new member of our team gives us an opportunity for us to bring in a different perspective, with different experiences and we are always eager to further diversify our BA team, and our company. Codec is committed to building an inclusive, supportive place for you to do the best and most rewarding work of your career.
ABOUT THE JOB
Fundamentally, this job involves taking overall responsibility for eliciting, understanding and translating requirements and mapping them to the Microsoft Business Application technologies we use to deliver them. We’re not looking for somebody to create a large requirement document and throw it over the fence to our developers to struggle with. We’re not looking for someone who is unwilling to learn new low-code / no-code Microsoft technologies. It might suit you if you are an experienced Business Analyst looking for a new challenge or are a contractor who is considering moving into a stable, high profile permanent role in a successful, accomplished yet growing team.
Our Team consists of a diverse group of consultants, who have a wide range of experience in business, functional, finance, utilities, health care, telecoms, commercial and managerial at a range of levels from graduates BA to Senior Principal BA. All of our BAs benefit from Codec’s partnership with the International Institute of Business Analysis, becoming accredited and leveraging IIBA best practices to help guide our standards. As a business analyst at Codec, you’ll join the team, and most importantly - be made feel part of the team, from day one.
