Lead Solution Analyst

Work in high-complexity environments, fully embedded in a Dev Ops team, leveraging specialist analysistools, frameworks, techniques and practices to elicit, define and organize business requirements, across multiple stakeholder groups. Translate & document these business requirements into user stories &specifications (Full Stack, Cross System) detailing integration points, business & associated risk/opportunities to be realised. And following this analysis, work collaboratively within squads to ensure the business requirements are met through Dev Ops design & delivery activity & lead the application oftesting processes & frameworks ensuring all products & services are effectively tested.

• Lead the analysis process for complex business areas
• Proactively build relationships, apply analytical techniques to elicit and validate business (product &service) needs ahead of demand
• Implement routines to get to know / become an expert in various business processes (e.g. spend time in business & with users)
• Translate elicited needs and knowledge acquired into user story format that is immediately usable forDevOps teams (right languaging, format for building & testing)
• Prepare and prioritise the backlog of requirements for the user stories linked to the proposed solutions
• Proactively scan the internal & external environment to predict change requirements & opportunities for improvement ahead of demand (e.g. market, risk, regulatory, customer, organizational change etc.)
• Work collaboratively with Tribe Leads (Technical Product / Service Owners) to build a roadmap & visionfor the products and services (including detailed analysis requirements & solution scope)
• Define measures of success & key outcomes for various solutions / changes including detailed acceptance criteria for all features
• Define testing requirements (pass or fail test cases)
• Support the development of detailed business cases (including defining solution characteristics, effort estimations etc.)
• Translate business requirements into an integrated system vision & detailed systems requirements.
• Detailed system requirements must include all capabilities, interfaces and functionalities within and across technologies.
• Build detailed user stories to be leveraged for system requirements design (modular)
• Leverage business analysis & modeling tools and apply notation standards such as UML/BPMN to diagrammatically/visually document: business requirements, business processes, system processes &integration.
• Facilitate processes to ensure integrated requirements are socialized, understood & approved across thebroad range of stakeholders to be impacted (this inrisk/governance processes e.g. risk / governance forums, change council, scrum meetings / Dev Ops team capability building, solution design sessions etc.)
• Understand & leverage knowledge on the organisations technical landscape, environment and broader architecture to define integration points across tech stacks for various requirements
• Work collaboratively with project / program teams, squads, scrum masters and engineers to define backlog, release & Dev Ops / project planning implications of the requirements development & roadmap(what should happen when)
• Work as part of the embedded Dev Ops team to continuously improve system requirements mapping (e.g.leverage input from questions asked etc. to consistently improve the quality of the requirements analysis for easier interpretation by the development teams)
• Work as part of the embedded Dev Ops team throughout the design process to review solution design(features and functionality)
• Define the manual testing strategy & test cases for various solutions (where it makes sense to do so)
• Define & validate quality & testing parameters (+/-) & plans for…
