Are you an experienced Technical Business Analyst or System Migration Specialist with hands‑on SME knowledge of MRI Repairs

We are urgently recruiting a delivery-focused Business Analyst / Technical SME to join a fast‑paced IT project team in Knowsley, Liverpool. The team is currently executing an in‑flight, multi‑stream migration project transitioning legacy housing maintenance systems over to the new MRI Repairs works management platform.

This is an initial 3 to 6 month contract to cover a key vacancy, with strong potential for further extensions for a high‑performing candidate who integrates well with the team.

Why Apply for This Role

• High-Impact In-Flight Project: Take key ownership of upcoming go‑live milestones across multiple contract streams.
• Extension Potential: Initial 3 6 month post with the likelihood of extension if you perform well and hit delivery milestones.
• Competitive Market Rate: £400 to £500 per day (Inside IR35).
• Urgent Placement: Rapid interview process via Microsoft Teams with immediate feedback and onboarding.

Key Responsibilities:

• UAT & Quality Assurance: Lead, write, and execute User Acceptance Testing (UAT) scripts, ensuring all functional requirements and system configurations are fully validated ahead of go‑live dates.
• Data Migration Support: Assist with data mapping, data profiling, and validation checks during the transition from legacy systems to MRI Repairs.
• MRI System Configuration (SME Role): Hands‑on setup and administration within MRI Repairs, including configuring contracts, operational workflows, and setting up system users.
• On-Site Go-Live & Hypercare: Provide hands‑on cutover support and hypercare to back‑office staff and contract managers during live site migrations. This includes occasional travel to client operational sites across the UK alongside the wider IT project team.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Collaborate closely with Project Managers, BAs, IT trainers, and operational contract leads to maintain project momentum.

Candidate Profile & Experience Required:

• Technical BA Track Record: Proven background as a hands‑on Business Analyst on IT system migrations, software rollouts, or enterprise application integrations (not purely high‑level business change).
• MRI Repairs / Works Management SME: Essential hands‑on technical familiarity with MRI Repairs (or similar social housing works management systems), including experience setting up contracts, trades, and users.
• Testing & Data Migration: Strong background executing UAT testing cycles and verifying data migration outputs.
• Mobility & Site Presence: Based within a reasonable commute of Knowsley, Liverpool (able to work on‑site 2 3 days per week) and willing to travel to client sites when contract migrations go live.
