Working hours: 37.5 Hours per week, Monday to Friday, 9am-5:30pm
Salary: up to £48000 depending on experience
Location: Liverpool City Centre on a hybrid working basis
What you will be doing:
- Deliver core business analysis activities across a range of business delivery processes, including, but not limited to, Agile frameworks.
- Ensure that appropriate and accurate documentation is created and maintained throughout the project lifecycle to support User Acceptance Testing and post-implementation aftercare.
- Produce documentation with a high level of technical specification, including system architecture, data flows, integration points, configuration settings, and any custom development where necessary, to ensure clarity, traceability, and ease of maintenance.
- Develop a strong understanding of the technologies used within the business.
- Use this knowledge to provide best-approach insight, enabling business stakeholders to make informed decisions.
- Lead “As-Is” requirement gathering and “To-Be” process modelling with a technical focus.
- Ensure that technical requirements are thoroughly analysed and clearly documented, supporting a shared understanding across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Actively participate in discussions with the development team to help shape the implementation of solutions, ensuring alignment with business needs.
- Constructively challenge technical approaches where necessary, promoting best practice and ensuring that the most effective solution is delivered.
- Review existing processes and use data analysis to support business decisions, using SQL, Excel, and other relevant tools.
- Provide insight into system integrations, APIs, and automation opportunities.
- Work independently on technical projects, escalating highly complex challenges where appropriate.
