Job description

Skillset:

Facilitation and recording of requirements through workshops and other techniques is essential, along with excellent verbal and writing skills. You must be adaptable, being able to leverage your skillset in a largely remote environment. You should demonstrate excellent listening skills, and be able to work independently, managing your own workload, and prioritising as required. You need to be determined and tenacious, driving key decisions from senior stakeholders inside and outside of IT to meet target investment dates.

Required:

  • Extensive experience of working as a Business Analyst

Desired:

  • Project definition and scoping
  • Supplier tendering and procurement
  • Liaison and management of 3rd party suppliers
  • Business case preparation
  • Utility industry experience
  • Operational Technology experience
  • Infrastructure project experience (as opposed to application development)
  • BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis, or equivalent

Note that you will need to demonstrate at least three of the above desired attributes at interview.

About the Role:

Centred around project inception, definition and approval at a high-level, you will:

  • Define the objectives and scope of each project
  • Work with project sponsors to analyse and document IT and business requirements
  • Work alongside IT Technical Architects to review and match requirements to an appropriate solution
  • Manage any external tender selection event for new technology, or utilise procurement framework partners to leverage existing technology solution
  • Write an investment paper with concise summary, project cost, associated risks, timelines, and any associated financial forecasting, ready for investment sign off and handover to a Project Manager

Projects and changes are varied and could cover any area of the business, including regulatory, finance, customer experience and technical IT change. As you will have several pieces of work running concurrently managing and prioritising workload to the plan is key, in addition to facilitating timely decision making, and expectation setting where required.
