Technical Business Analyst

About Us

Adaptiv is a Kiwi success story with a growing presence across Australia and New Zealand. We specialise in integration, data and analytics, AI consulting and cloud solutions, helping organisations modernise their technology environments and unlock greater value from their data.

What sets us apart is our combination of deep technical capability and practical consulting expertise. We work closely with clients to understand their challenges and deliver technology that creates meaningful business outcomes.

We’re looking for a Technical Business Analyst who enjoys understanding how businesses work, asking the right questions and bringing clarity to complex technology projects.

About the Role

Joining our Project Management Office and reporting to the Head of Delivery, you’ll work directly with clients and our delivery teams to turn business needs into clear, actionable requirements.

Your work will span data, integration, AI and broader technology initiatives, alongside opportunities to improve Adaptiv’s own internal processes.

You’ll stay involved throughout delivery from discovery and process analysis through to development, testing and business readiness. Working alongside project managers, architects, developers and QA, you’ll help ensure the solution delivered addresses the business problem we set out to solve.

This is a varied consulting role for someone who is comfortable working with different stakeholders, navigating ambiguity and adapting as priorities change.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Facilitating discovery sessions, interviews and workshops to understand business needs and agree priorities.
• Analysing current and future processes, systems and information flows to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Translating business needs into requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, process maps and functional specifications.
• Defining functional and non-functional requirements that are clear, feasible and testable.
• Working with architects and technical consultants to assess solution options, dependencies and impacts.
• Supporting data mapping, source-to-target rules and business data definitions where required.
• Maintaining requirements traceability and assessing changes to scope throughout delivery.
• Clarifying requirements during design, development and testing, and supporting user acceptance testing and defect triage.
• Communicating findings, decisions and risks clearly to business and technical stakeholders.
• Supporting change readiness and operational handover so clients can use and support what we deliver.
• Contributing to pre-sales discovery and improving our analysis practices, documentation and internal processes.
  

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for someone with a sound business analysis foundation and the confidence to work directly with clients.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• At least three years’ business analysis experience in technology, digital or consulting environments.
• A track record of gathering, analysing and documenting requirements that support successful technology delivery.
• Experience facilitating workshops and working across diverse business and technical stakeholder groups.
• Strong requirements management and process modelling skills, including user stories, acceptance criteria and functional and non-functional requirements.
• A sound understanding of IT concepts, systems integration and the technology delivery lifecycle.
• The ability to investigate a problem, challenge assumptions constructively and explain practical options.
• Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to produce professional documentation for different audiences.
• Experience with Jira, Confluence or similar collaboration and delivery tools, alongside strong Microsoft Office skills.
• The organisation and judgement to manage competing priorities, follow through on actions and raise issues early.

Experience across integration, data, cloud, AI or enterprise systems projects would be valuable. Consulting or client-facing delivery experience is a distinct advantage.

Exposure to Databricks, Azure Integration Services, Boomi or MuleSoft would also be useful, but isn’t essential.

A relevant tertiary qualification is preferred. Business analysis training or certification, such as IIBA or BCS, and experience with Agile, Scrum or Kanban are advantageous.

The Person We’re Looking For

You’re curious about how things work and comfortable asking questions until the underlying need is clear.

You build trust by listening, communicating clearly and doing what you say you’ll do. You can bring structure to an unclear problem, pay attention to the detail and keep the wider business outcome in view.

You’ll enjoy working with experienced technical colleagues, taking ownership of your analysis and helping clients make informed decisions. You’ll also bring a practical, adaptable approach and a willingness to keep learning.

Why Adaptiv?

You’ll work across varied client engagements alongside experienced consultants, architects and engineers in Data, Integration, Cloud and AI.

You’ll have opportunities to broaden your technical understanding, develop your consulting skills and contribute ideas that improve how we deliver.

We value collaboration, continuous learning and a down-to-earth culture where people enjoy working together.

If you’re a Business Analyst who wants to combine client engagement, thoughtful analysis and meaningful technology delivery, we’d love to hear from you.
