- Produce clear, structured and high-quality BA artefacts including process maps, data flow diagrams, requirements registers, gap analyses and impact assessments
- Support the Technical Architect in understanding the business context of technical integration requirements
- Collaborate with the User Researcher and Service Designer to ensure requirements are grounded in user evidence
- Identify and document constraints, assumptions and dependencies relevant to the design of the new system
- Contribute to the final discovery report, specifically the requirements, as-is mapping and impact assessment sections
- Mentor and support Junior Analysts within the team
Essential Skills & Experience

- Ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary Agile teams
Desirable Skills & Experience
- Experience conducting business analysis in a local authority or regulatory environment
