ABOUT THE ROLE
Our BAs typically occupy 1 of 3 types of roles at any given time depending on the team they join namely:

- involved in business development (answering RFPs etc.)
- Member of an ongoing Agile development squad joining one of our cross-
- functional development squads deployed at a client (see below for more detail)
Despite the varied roles, we typically see our BAs solving these types of problems (esp. In Discovery teams or as part of an ongoing Agile squad):
Supporting the ‘what’ and ‘why’ of development
- Act as a thought partner to Product Owners during prioritisation discussions
- Write user stories, and user acceptance criteria, perform user story mapping and validate existing user stories/features
- Support the management of the backlog, sprint planning and the ‘Continuous Discovery’ process – incl. being familiar with DevOps tools
- Own the details behind all the user stories
- Support the Dev Team with specific requirements and market research (especially the Product Owners and Tech Leads)
Supporting user engagement
- User and stakeholder mapping (including persona development)
- Build stakeholder engagement planning and write-up meetings/actions
- Build relationships with change managers and support activities - e.g. reach and relevance for products or training
- Collect feedback from users (support business change) - e.g. running employee satisfaction surveys and tracking uptake
- Facilitating the feedback loop from users to the rest of the squad (supporting the PO) - i.e. raising potential product changes, raising pain points, collecting bugs, offering UI/UX guidance
Supporting value determination
- Support the Product Owner to update the value framework for the squad/domain
- Apply the framework to the squad and track value where possible - i.e. measure KPIs etc.
- Support the preparation for value reviews - i.e. business case reviews
Testing
- Perform/facilitate ongoing user acceptance testing (working with users to test correctness where domain knowledge is needed and in line with the user acceptance criteria)
- Perform ad-hoc testing
Performing supplementary technical analysis
- Understanding (and building if required) As-Is and To-Be processes
- Supporting data source mapping and/or technical architecture discussions
- Performing analysis related to the domain – i.e. mapping of calculation steps or metrics etc.
We are seeking a Business Analyst with 2 – 3 years of experience in the digital project environment. The ideal candidate will have a strong background working within projects delivering Master Data Management solutions. This initial aim is to create an MDM capability to allow our client to clean and synchronise data across multiple enterprise systems. Subsequent project phases will extend this capability to other key data entities. Experience in the UK water utilities industry will be advantageous but not mandatory.
The role requires the Business Analyst to be based at the client site in Reading, UK.
