We are looking for a driven and analytical Business Analyst to join our team. In this role, you will be the critical bridge between business stakeholders and the technical delivery team — translating complex operational needs into clear, actionable solutions.

**Key Responsibilities**
**Stakeholder Engagement \& Requirements**
* Conduct structured interviews and workshops with business users to elicit, challenge, and validate requirements
* Build strong relationships across business units to become a trusted advisor and bridge to the technology team
* Facilitate requirements sign\-off and manage stakeholder expectations throughout delivery
**User Journey \& Solution Design**
* Map current\-state (as\-is) and future\-state (to\-be) user journeys, identifying pain points and opportunity areas
* Apply design thinking principles — empathise, define, ideate, prototype, test — to arrive at user\-centred solutions
* Build and iterate low\- and high\-fidelity prototypes to validate concepts with business users before development begins
* Design and document end\-to\-end processes with rigour, using standard notation (BPMN, swimlane diagrams, or equivalent)
* Produce clear process flows, wireframes, and solution blueprints that translate business needs into design specifications
* Collaborate with architects and developers to validate technical feasibility and challenge scope creep
**Delivery \& Development Oversight**
* Own the backlog: write well\-structured epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria in Jira
* Actively participate in sprint ceremonies — refinement, planning, review, and retrospectives
* Manage the product lifecycle end\-to\-end: from ideation and requirements through build, testing, release, and post\-go\-live review
* Conduct UAT coordination and sign\-off, ensuring solutions meet agreed acceptance criteria before release
* Track delivery progress, flag risks early, and drive resolution with the project team
**Requirements**
**Essential**
* 3\+ years of Business Analysis experience in a technology delivery environment
* Proven ability to run stakeholder workshops, conduct user interviews, and translate findings into business requirements
* Strong design thinking capability — able to frame problems, generate ideas, and validate solutions with users iteratively
* Hands\-on experience with process design and documentation, including current\-state/future\-state mapping and BPMN
* Experience building prototypes (low\- and high\-fidelity) to validate solutions before development investment
* Advanced Excel skills — data analysis, modelling, pivot tables, and structured reporting
* Demonstrable product lifecycle management experience, from discovery through to post\-release optimisation
* Hands\-on experience with Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI)
* Proficiency in Jira for backlog management, story writing, and sprint tracking
* Excellent written and verbal communication — able to distil complexity into clarity for both technical and non\-technical audiences
**Desirable**
* Experience with Confluence for documentation and knowledge management
* Exposure to Agile / SAFe delivery frameworks
* Familiarity with data analysis and business intelligence reporting
* Sector experience in maritime, engineering, or large\-scale infrastructure programmes
**Education**
A relevant degree is required. We value analytical rigour and structured thinking — the following backgrounds provide a strong foundation for this role:
* Bachelor's degree in Economics, Engineering (any discipline), Software Engineering, or Computer Science / Programming
* Postgraduate qualifications in Business Analysis, Project Management, or a related field are advantageous
* Equivalent professional qualifications or a demonstrable self\-taught track record combined with strong delivery history will be considered
**Industry Experience**
We are particularly interested in candidates who have operated in complex, operationally intensive environments. Experience in one or more of the following sectors is a strong advantage:
* Maritime — shipping operations, port management, vessel tracking, fleet logistics, or maritime regulatory compliance
* Engineering — civil, mechanical, electrical, or industrial engineering environments with exposure to technical stakeholders and asset\-heavy operations
* Big Infrastructure — large\-scale programmes in energy, utilities, transport networks, or major construction and capital projects
Experience in these sectors signals that you understand long asset lifecycles, safety\-critical processes, regulatory constraints, and how to work effectively across multi\-disciplinary teams — all directly relevant to how we deliver.
