Required Skills:
Stakeholder Leadership and Requirements Governance

- Define analysis strategy, scope, engagement, and governance for complex initiatives across products, platforms, jurisdictions, and delivery teams.
- Lead decision forums, resolve ambiguity and competing priorities, and translate obligations and business needs into capabilities, requirements, user stories, and measurable acceptance criteria.
- Own requirements quality, prioritisation, baselining, sign-off, change control, traceability, risks, assumptions, and dependencies.
Systems, Process, and Solution Analysis
- Analyse end-to-end processes, systems, data flows, controls, and operating models to identify gaps, risks, and improvement opportunities.
- Develop and assure current- and future-state models, capability maps, data-flow diagrams, use cases, and decision models.
- Assess impacts across people, process, policy, data, technology, integrations, controls, vendors, and jurisdictions.
- Partner with architecture, engineering, data, and control teams to evaluate options and promote scalable, resilient, secure, auditable solutions aligned with enterprise strategy.
Delivery, Traceability, and Assurance
- Maintain traceability from regulatory and business outcomes through requirements, design, development, testing, deployment, controls, and post-implementation validation.
- Set quality standards, assure requirements and acceptance criteria, and resolve gaps before delivery commitments.
- Influence roadmaps, backlogs, releases, and sequencing by clarifying value, dependencies, risks, capacity, and minimum viable outcomes.
- Represent analysis in programme, architecture, risk, and change forums; monitor scope and cross-initiative dependencies; and report delivery readiness, control effectiveness, adoption, and benefits.
