Job description

We are looking for an experienced Business or Functional Analyst with a minimum of 4 years' experience to join our Belgian team. You will work at our clients in the energy and public transport sectors — utilities, grid operators, energy suppliers, market facilitators and public transport operators — translating complex business challenges into workable, well-documented solutions. You are the bridge between business and IT: you talk to the people who own the process, you understand what the technology can and cannot do, and you make sure everyone ends up agreeing on the same thing.

Typical responsibilities

• Elicit, challenge and structure business requirements together with business stakeholders, product owners and end users
• Translate business needs into clear functional designs, user stories, process flows and acceptance criteria
• Analyse and document as-is processes and data flows, and design the to-be situation together with the client
• Act as the linking pin between business, IT teams, architects and external suppliers throughout the delivery cycle
• Support solution design decisions and safeguard functional consistency across releases and systems
• Prepare and coordinate functional and user acceptance testing: test scenarios, test execution support, defect triage and follow-up
• Support change and adoption: training material, key-user support, go-live assistance and hypercare
• Contribute to project governance — planning input, progress reporting, risk and issue escalation
• Create and maintain solid documentation that survives after your assignment ends
• Master's degree in a relevant field (e.g. business economics, engineering, IT, applied economics) or Bachelor's degree with equivalent experience
• Proven experience as a Business Analyst or Functional Analyst — minimum 4 years
• Demonstrable experience with requirements engineering: user stories, functional specifications, process modelling (BPMN or similar)
• You master Dutch or French and speak/understand the other language —must have
• Fluent English (working language on many of our projects)
• Experience working in Agile delivery (Scrum, Kanban) and with tools such as Azure DevOps or Jira
• Strong stakeholder management: you can hold your own with a business owner and with a developer, on the same day
• Analytical, structured and pragmatic — you go for the solution that actually works in practice
• Comfortable in a consulting context: independent, client-facing, and able to switch between assignments and domains
• Experience in the energy, utilities or public transport sector is a plus but no requirement — we will get you up to speed
• Experience with data analysis (SQL, Power BI) or with testing methodologies is a plus

Energetic environment

At Methis Consulting, you will join a young, energetic organisation, where you will have the opportunity to help companies in the energy and mobility sector with the major challenges related to the energy transition and public transport.

• Interesting and relevant projects and roles with our clients
• Ranging from a few months to several years (always in joint agreement)
• Work on projects at the intersection of Business and Digital
• Opportunities to contribute to the further growth of Methis Consulting Belgium (e.g. marketing, events, knowledge sharing, development of the internal organisation)
• Intensive cross BE-NL cooperation and knowledge sharing

Personal attention and team culture

Methis Consulting values your personal development and team spirit. This translates into:

• Open / transparent culture (short lines of communication, non-hierarchical)
• A lot of attention for the individual
• Frequent, on-the-job coaching
• A close-knit team where there is plenty of room for sociability in addition to intensive cooperation
• A team event every month (e.g. karting, speed dating, office games, escape room, etc.)
• Twice a year a cross BE-NL event
• A constructive, team-oriented approach in project implementation and knowledge building
• A detailed and objective evaluation process linked to your personal development plan
• Fast and personal recruiting process, concrete feedback (even if it turns out not to be a match)

• Market-based total compensation package (gross salary, net allowances, meal voucher)
• Mobility (company car or mobility budget)
• Group and hospital insurance
• Laptop and telephony
• Permanent Belgian contract
• Hybrid working (typically 3 days on site at client)
