What we’re looking for:

• Experience in public sector and significant experience within an IT environment
• Experience in business requirements gathering, translating business requirements into technology requirements, business cases/options appraisals

• Ability to establish effective working relationships at all levels
• Excellent analytical skills
• Happy to work independently or as part of a larger project or programme team
