Bristol, United Kingdom University of Bristol Full time

The role

As an Assistant Business Analyst working for the University of Bristol, you will support the Business Analysts and Senior Business Analysts in a variety of project and programme initiatives, interacting with diverse groups of people to do so. You will also be tasked with leading on the analysis of smaller scale work requests, supported by mentors to develop the full range of Business Analysis skills and tools.

You’ll act as a conduit between technical and policy experts, and the wider business, to assess the conditions and future goals of change initiatives, bringing together the relevant detail of the people, process and technology to inform decisions about how to address specific business problems and opportunities, linking business need, technical governance and policy guidance.

You will contribute to an outward facing team that looks to steer and guide sponsors and stakeholders to help deliver IT change that provides business benefit and aligns with the University’s forward looking 2030 strategy.

What will you be doing?

You will work with a range of stakeholders from across the organisation to support the discovery, planning and delivery of a variety of change initiatives- from major building infrastructure change to new software, from innovative research projects to enhancing student experience.

As part of this you will be responsible for defining business problems, gathering requirements, understanding ‘as-is’ processes, articulating future state objectives and documenting business cases to evidence the benefits and return on investment of recommended solutions.

As projects move beyond discovery, you will be responsible for the ongoing management of requirements, assess change requests against the original goals of projects, support testing and ensure provision has been made for business sponsors to measure the ongoing benefits of projects. 

In addition, you will manage and prioritise your workload, pragmatically assessing the viability and achievability of deliverables and communicate this assessment to stakeholders at all levels of the organisation.

You should apply if

You have an analytical mind and are excited by the opportunity to take your first steps as a Business Analyst, having worked within a project environment in the past.

You are looking for a varied and challenging role that will require you to be a motivated self-starter, where you’ll need to be able to manage your own workload, look at complex issues from both a micro and macro perspective, and are confident interacting with a wide variety of stakeholders from across the University.

You have a passion for learning and an ongoing curiosity about how things work, why they work that way and what factors go into decision making within a large and complex organisation.
