Technical Business Analyst

Business Analyst — Fully Remote — £350 per day — Inside IR35

A UK central government programme is remediating a set of legacy systems, and is hiring a business analyst to work out what they actually do before anyone rebuilds them.

The work is technical rather than end user journeys. You are getting into system behaviour, integrations and data, and turning what you find into requirements an engineering team can build from. There is a more experienced analyst on the programme alongside you.

What you will do

• Run workshops, interviews, focus groups and surveys to surface technical problems, system dependencies and integration needs
• Write epics, features, stories and acceptance criteria to INVEST principles, using the “as a, I want, so that” and GIVEN, WHEN, THEN syntax
• Produce data mapping, data flow mapping and process models, including SIPOC and story mapping
• Set out needs, value and benefit, consumers, sources and priority so the backlog is ordered on evidence
• Manage business and technical stakeholders, and carry the risks and issues you raise through to resolution
• Work with Business Architecture, Enterprise Architecture, Data Architecture and Software Engineering so requirements and models stay aligned
• Contribute to business cases, including market analysis and cost benefit assessment

What you need

• At least one engagement of six months or longer inside a UK central government department, arm’s length body or devolved administration
• Stories and acceptance criteria you have written on a delivery, to INVEST and GIVEN, WHEN, THEN
• Process mapping, and exposure to data mapping or data flow mapping
• Jira, Confluence and Agile delivery as everyday tools
• The self sufficiency to work in a fully remote team, and the confidence to say when a requirement does not make sense

Useful, not essential

• SIPOC and story mapping
• Legacy system remediation, decommissioning or migration
• Business case and options analysis
