Requirements

Strategic Architecture & System Design

• Conduct blueprinting and value stream mapping exercises, working with Product Owners and Technical Architects to align business processes with target technology architectures.
• Structure the analysis of a business, product, or capability using frameworks such as SWOT or MOST analysis.
• Map end-to-end journeys and the business objects that flow through them, creating a traceable bridge from business outcomes to value streams, journeys, systems, and data.
• Develop a single, unified view spanning business, process, application, and data architecture by mapping journeys across consistent layers (including customer interactions, workflow orchestration, case management, and shared services).
• Analyse existing systems, integrations, and complex data flows to identify gaps, risks, overlapping capabilities, and manual data transfers.
• Document how key business and customer processes work today, design future states with stakeholders, and use data to quantify the difference.

Technical Requirements & Systems Engineering

• Gather, analyse, decompose, and document functional, non-functional, and system requirements.
• Maintain end-to-end requirements traceability and manage baselines, change requests, and impact assessments across lifecycle artefacts (supporting audits and V&V activities).
• Write and maintain business editable decision tables and rules engines, ensuring versioned, tested rules can be managed by operations without requiring a code release.
• Demonstrate an understanding of expected behaviours for AI powered features, writing precise acceptance criteria where outputs are not deterministic.

Agile Delivery & Full-Lifecycle Execution

• Write user stories, acceptance criteria, and process definitions that developers can build from without guessing.
• Work across the full delivery lifecycle alongside UX/UI designers, developers, DevOps teams, and architects.
• Support Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand-ups) and assist with operational readiness and business change activities.
• Help coordinate testing activities, review test scripts, support defect triage, and drive user acceptance testing (UAT) resolution.

Stakeholder & Product Management

• Provide a common language for business leaders, product teams, architects, and delivery teams by focusing on how real things move through the organisation as work is performed upon them.
• Facilitate constructive conversations and workshops to build stakeholder buy-in, particularly when requirements do not align with strategic product objectives.
• Use data to size problems, validate assumptions, and confirm whether shipped changes delivered the intended outcomes.
• Keep stakeholders informed, manage scope conversations honestly, and act as the first point of contact for the delivery team to resolve requirements-related issues.

Key Skills & Experience

• Core Business Analysis: Proven experience delivering within complex technical projects, digital platforms, or multi-tenant SaaS environments. Ability to structure analysis using SWOT, MOST, or similar frameworks.
• Requirements Engineering: Strong knowledge of requirements elicitation, traceability, and change control tooling (e.g., Jira, DOORS-type tools, or equivalents).
• Systems & Journey Modelling: An understanding of process and system modelling (e.g., BPMN, UML, TOGAF, or ArchiMate), with the ability to use these concepts alongside journey architecture to build a complete picture of an organisation.
• Data Literacy: Confident working with data products and APIs; an understanding of SQL or analytics tooling for sizing, validation, and system mapping.
• Agile Expertise: Experience working in Agile teams, supporting ceremonies, and writing technical user stories.
• Stakeholder Management: Excellent facilitation skills with the confidence to run workshops with senior stakeholders, challenge proposed solutions, and negotiate scope.
• Desirable: Exposure to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Microsoft Azure/Fabric, Salesforce, or experience working in highly regulated environments (e.g., MOD, UK Aerospace, or strict Gov sectors).
