About the role
As the Senior Business Analyst dedicated to R&D, you will play a crucial role in analysing business needs, defining requirements, and implementing IT solutions that support R&D, Safety, Regulatory, and Quality functions. This role offers a unique opportunity to build a new function from the ground up, driving innovation and scalability to support Vestacy’s business strategy.
Your responsibilities
* Oversee the design and implementation of R&D, Safety, Regulatory, and Quality technologies such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Digital Simulation, Consumer Safety, Labelling, and Quality Management.
* Implement Quality Management systems to maintain high standards of product performance.
* Provide technical guidance and support to the R&D, Quality, and Regulatory teams.
* Conduct business analysis to understand and document business requirements.
* Translate business needs into technical specifications and solutions.
* Ensure that IT&D solutions meet business requirements and are delivered on time and within budget.
The experience we're looking for
* This opportunity requires you to create something new, not to upgrade or transform something existing. No one will tell you how to do it, so you will bring vision and thought leadership, while being pragmatic in the implementation.
* Hands‑on experience with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems within an R&D, Quality, Regulatory, or FMCG/manufacturing environment.
* Previous experience working with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (or earlier Microsoft Dynamics platforms) in support of enterprise or R&D‑related processes.
* You have an entrepreneurial mindset: self-starter with a high sense of ownership and accountability.
* You are collaborative and build bridges internally and externally.
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
* Minimum of 5 years of experience in an IT&D function, with a focus on business analysis.
* Proven track record of successful project management and product development.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
* Ability to think strategically and solve complex problems.
* Experience with Agile methodologies.
* Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
* Ability to work collaboratively with cross‑functional teams.
