About the Role

As a Business Analyst at Accenture, you will help translate stakeholder needs into clear functional requirements and support digital solutions from elaboration through development, testing, and production. You will work within an Agile delivery squad, collaborating with business stakeholders, developers, testers, and senior Business Analysts to deliver reliable solutions for regulated or complex environments.

The role provides hands-on exposure across the delivery lifecycle, with opportunities to strengthen your skills in business analysis, functional design, testing, SQL, automation, and responsible use of generative AI.

Key Responsibilities

• Gather, analyse, and document stakeholder requirements, translating them into user stories, functional designs, and testable acceptance criteria.

• Support features from requirements elaboration through development, testing, defect resolution, and production implementation.

• Analyse existing business processes against intended future-state processes, identifying and documenting gaps, impacts, and required changes.

• Work closely with developers throughout the build process to clarify functional requirements and resolve requirement-related questions.

• Execute functional testing for assigned user stories, document defects in JIRA, and perform retesting following remediation.

• Write and execute SQL queries to investigate and validate system and data behaviour.

• Work within an Agile delivery model, contributing to Sprint activities and following agreed delivery standards and plans.

• Use generative AI tools, including Claude, to support the drafting of user stories and acceptance criteria, while independently reviewing and validating AI-generated content before use.

Required Qualifications

• 1–3 years of experience in business analysis, preferably within technology or digital delivery environments.

• At least 1 year of experience working in an Agile delivery environment using JIRA and Sprint-based delivery practices.

• Experience supporting a government, regulated, or similarly controlled system, with exposure to delivering features from elaboration through production.

• Experience developing functional designs based on stakeholder requirements, with guidance or review from senior team members.

• Demonstrated ability to document current-state and future-state processes and clearly identify differences or gaps.

• Hands-on experience writing testable acceptance criteria, executing functional tests, managing defects, and performing defect retesting.

• Working knowledge of SQL for analysing and validating system data and behaviour.

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to test automation tools or techniques, or willingness to develop test automation capability as part of the role.

• Familiarity with generative AI tools for business analysis activities, with an understanding of the importance of reviewing, validating, and refining AI-generated outputs.

• Strong communication, analytical thinking, attention to detail, and collaboration skills.
