Senior Business Analyst

About the role

We are hiring a Senior Business Analyst to work between our business users, our enterprise clients and our engineering team. You will establish what the business needs, document it to a standard that can be built from, and stay with it through design, testing and release. This is a hands on analysis position rather than a coordination one.

Key responsibilities

• Identify, investigate and analyse existing business processes, procedures and work practices across finance, procurement, HR and delivery operations
• Identify and evaluate inefficiencies in current practice and current systems, and recommend improved business practices together with the system functionality and behaviour required to support them
• Review and evaluate existing systems and integrations, and specify the modifications needed to meet changing business needs
• Develop functional specifications for use by system developers, including user stories, acceptance criteria and API specifications
• Apply data and process modelling techniques to produce unambiguous system specifications for the design and development of system software
• Apply project management methodologies to develop project plans and to cost, resource and track delivery across concurrent workstreams
• Take responsibility for deploying functional solutions, including creating and implementing system test plans that establish acceptable quality and integrity of the system before release
• Create user and training documentation and conduct formal training sessions for internal teams and client users
• Act as a central reference and information source, providing guidance and assistance to product, engineering and client stakeholders in system project decision making

About you
