• Skilled in requirements gathering, documentation, user stories, and acceptance criteria
• Experience working in Agile or hybrid delivery environments
• Excellent communication, workshop facilitation, and documentation skills

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse and document current and future-state business processes across both organisations
• Conduct gap analysis and assess the impact of change resulting from the acquisition
• Translate business needs into clear functional specifications, user stories, and acceptance criteria
• Collaborate with technical teams and external partners to ensure solutions align with business requirements
• Support integration planning across systems, data flows, and operational processes
• Facilitate workshops and stakeholder interviews to validate requirements and proposed solutions
• Support system testing, UAT, and training activities to ensure readiness for go-live
• Contribute to project planning and progress tracking to ensure alignment with programme timelines
