You may specialise in process, data, business or systems analysis, applying these disciplines individually or in combination to identify opportunities for improvement, evaluate business challenges, and design or enhance business processes, workflows, applications and ways of working that deliver sustainable business value.

Duties and responsibilities:

• Elicit, analyse, prioritise and document business, functional and non-functional requirements.
• Create and maintain epics, user stories, acceptance criteria and requirements traceability.
• Facilitate workshops, stakeholder interviews and analysis sessions.
