Situated in the Business Analysis Practice, this Senior Business Analyst role has two clear priorities.

You will support the Product Owner, Business Owner and Sponsors to ensure business needs and solution options are understood.

• Deliver clearly defined requirements and user stories that accurately capture business systems, processes, and user needs, using strong analysis, validation, and mapping techniques. 
• Engage, negotiate and prioritise stakeholder requirements to drive alignment and support sound decision-making. 
• Create actionable, visually driven models and documentation (including process mapping and story mapping) that translate complex flows into clear business rules. 
• Manage a dynamic requirements lifecycle, prioritising critical functionality based on complexity, feasibility, and business value.
• Maintain strong, practical communication with Engineers, Testers, Change Managers, and external partners so delivery teams understand the “why” and the “what”. 
• Proactively identify risks and issues, and partner with the Project Manager to propose mitigations aligned to established risk frameworks.
