Your journey with us

The IT Business Analyst acts as the bridge between business stakeholders and IT delivery teams, translating business needs into clear requirements and well-designed solutions. Operating within the IT Department, the role contributes to the end-to-end delivery of IT services - from demand intake through requirements, design, testing, and transition into operations - ensuring that technology investments deliver measurable business value, are fit for purpose, and are supported by quality documentation and a smooth handover to service operations. The role combines strong analytical thinking, skilled stakeholder elicitation, and hands-on command of core business analysis methodologies and modelling frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

1. Analytical Thinking & Problem Structuring

• Structure ambiguous or poorly defined business problems into clear problem statements, using techniques such as root-cause analysis (5 Whys, fishbone/Ishikawa) to distinguish symptoms from underlying causes.
• Perform impact, feasibility, and cost-benefit analysis for proposed changes, making explicit assumptions where data is incomplete.
• Adjudicate conflicting requirements between stakeholders using prioritisation frameworks (e.g. MoSCoW) and traceability back to the business objective.
• Manage scope discipline by maintaining a requirements baseline and escalating scope creep rather than absorbing it silently.

2. Stakeholder Elicitation & Influence

• Elicit, document, and validate business requirements through workshops, structured interviews, shadowing/observation, and prototyping/mock-ups.
• Act as the primary liaison between business units and IT during project initiation, design, and delivery, managing expectations against IT roadmap and capacity.
• Facilitate requirements workshops and design reviews, using pre-work, structured agendas, and parking-lot techniques to keep senior stakeholders engaged within limited time.
• Validate documented requirements through stakeholder walkthroughs and sign-off, using visual models as a shared reference point to confirm understanding across language and cultural differences.

3. Methodology, Modelling & Documentation

• Produce as-is and to-be process maps using BPMN (pools, lanes, gateways, events) at an audience-appropriate level of detail, to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and automation opportunities.
• Use Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) and data mapping techniques to analyse system integrations and clarify how data moves, is stored, and is transformed between systems (e.g. CRM/ERP).
• Translate business requirements into functional specifications, user stories (INVEST-aligned), and acceptance criteria (e.g. Given/When/Then) for IT delivery teams.
• Maintain end-to-end requirements traceability from business need through to test cases and UAT sign-off, using a requirements traceability matrix or equivalent.
• Apply the right technique for the context - flexing between Agile artefacts (backlogs, epics, story maps) and traditional BRD/FRD-style documentation depending on project type and stakeholder maturity.
• Contribute to project documentation in line with the IT SSDLC, including business cases, requirement specifications, and test plans.

4. Delivery Support & Continuous Improvement

• Support project managers and product owners with scoping, prioritisation, and backlog management.
• Coordinate User Acceptance Testing (UAT), log defects, and track resolution to closure.
• Support change management activities, including communication plans and training materials.
• Ensure deliverables align with IT governance, compliance (GDPR, NIS2), and data quality standards.
• Identify and progress opportunities for process optimisation and automation (Power Platform).
