About you
- Solid Business Analyst background with real end-to-end delivery experience: analysis through to build, UAT and review, not just requirements-gathering and handoff
- Strong process mapping skills, including BPMN 2.0, As-Is/To-Be modelling and gap and bottleneck analysis (Lucidchart experience is a plus)
- Track record improving and optimising existing systems and features, alongside newer build work
- Able to spot automation opportunities by understanding business rules, dependencies and exceptions, and translate them into clear functional specs and acceptance criteria
- Comfortable coordinating UAT end to end, including planning, execution and resolving issues
- Confident pushing back on stakeholders and challenging requirements, not just capturing what you're told
- Some understanding of system integrations, APIs and data flows is a bonus, as is an IIBA certification or BPMN/Lean/Six Sigma training
- Option to work remotely around Australia
- A small, high-ownership team where you can see the direct impact of your work
- Genuine influence over process and automation decisions
- Join a profitable, founder-led business where things move quickly
