Integration Technical Analyst | Higher Education
3-month contract | Outside IR35 | ASAP start
Have you helped a university connect its systems and turned complex integration requirements into clear specifications developers can build from?
I'm working with a consultancy that needs an experienced Integration Technical Analyst to support integrations across Higher Education systems. This is an urgent requirement, with an initial three-month contract and a start as soon as possible.
You'll work with university stakeholders, system owners, architects and developers to understand business processes, analyse existing integrations and define how data should move between systems.
The work goes beyond capturing requirements. You'll specify what triggers an integration, which system owns the data, how fields map and transform, what happens when processing fails, and how the finished integration will be tested and accepted.
