• Model processes, customer journeys, system interactions, data flows and integrations to identify impacts, dependencies and opportunities. 

• Facilitate workshops, synthesise perspectives and support evidence-based decisions and alignment. 

• Lead impact assessments, identify risks early and support mitigation, readiness, testing and implementation. 

• Maintain clear, traceable artefacts in Jira and Confluence, while mentoring analysts and strengthening business analysis practices.
