• Support data migration planning and execution
• Develop and maintain programme documentation, actions, decisions and dependencies
• Support testing, validation and business readiness
• Work with delivery teams and stakeholders to resolve issues and maintain progress
• Support the development of future-state operating models and ways of working
• For Senior level, provide more strategic input, challenge existing approaches and help drive decisions across the programme

Essential experience

• Proven Business Analyst experience within complex data or technology transformation programmes
• Strong requirements elicitation and documentation skills
• Business process modelling and workflow design
• Experience supporting data migration or transformation programmes
• Strong stakeholder management across business and technical teams
• Workshop facilitation and requirements analysis
• Experience producing user stories, process maps and supporting documentation
• Good understanding of data management and data flows
• Ability to manage dependencies and work across multiple teams
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex issues clearly

Desirable experience

Experience in one or more of the following would be useful:

• Reference Data or Master Data Management
• Data ingestion, ETL or data pipeline programmes
• Data governance and metadata management
• Enterprise data platforms
• CMS implementation
• Data quality initiatives
• Workflow automation
• Operating model design
• Lean/process improvement
• Product operating models
• Data-intensive or complex technology environments

Senior Business Analyst

For the Senior positions, we’re looking for someone who can take ownership of discovery and transformation activity, work with senior stakeholders and help shape the future operating model and delivery approach.
