You’ll work within an Agile environment, helping to shape priorities, define requirements and ensure new processes, systems and ways of working are successfully delivered and adopted.

With a strategy focused on growth and expansion into new areas, this is an exciting opportunity to influence transformational change across the Group.

• Own and maintain a well-defined and prioritised product backlog.
• Facilitate Agile ceremonies including backlog refinement, sprint planning, reviews and demos.
• Define MVPs to test assumptions and deliver incremental business value.
• Collaborate with UX/UI, development and QA teams to ensure solutions meet user and business needs.
• Use process mapping and visual modelling techniques, including process flows and UML, to clarify business processes and system interactions.
• Communicate progress, risks, dependencies and changes effectively with stakeholders.
• Drive continuous improvement in Agile delivery and team collaboration.
• Challenge existing processes and encourage stakeholders to think differently about how change can deliver greater value.
• Support estimation, planning, testing and successful business handover.
• Identify and manage project risks within agreed frameworks.
• Champion and support the successful adoption of business change.

• Proven experience as a Business Analyst, ideally working within Agile delivery environments.
• Strong experience eliciting, analysing and translating business requirements into user stories, acceptance criteria and actionable deliverables.
• Practical experience of Agile ways of working, including backlog refinement, sprint planning and prioritisation.
• Experience working with Product Owners, development teams and business stakeholders to deliver change.
• Strong process mapping and business process analysis skills, with the confidence to challenge existing ways of working.
• Experience supporting system, process or wider business transformation initiatives from discovery through to implementation.
• Strong stakeholder management and facilitation skills, with the ability to build relationships and influence at different levels.
• Comfortable working autonomously and managing priorities across multiple projects or work streams.
• An analytical and curious mindset, with the ability to understand systems, identify opportunities and translate complexity into clear solutions.
