Job description

This is an exciting opportunity to join the CAF team during a period of significant change as we look to bring in new roles to support our organisation’s vision and ambitions. CAF is undergoing a number of changes to replace end‑of‑life legacy systems with fully supported and integrated SAS platforms.

We are seeking an experienced business analyst with a broad level of experience using various tools and technologies to play a pivotal role delivering analysis and coordinating activity between IT, business stakeholders, and operational teams to ensure the successful delivery of a new Finance system. Applicants should have a detailed understanding of UAT, end‑to‑end testing and data controls along with some previous experience and understanding of working on Finance systems; specific knowledge of Sage Intacct finance system is desirable.

What you’ll do

• Work with business teams, vendors and technology teams to elicit, prioritise and communicate the functional and non‑functional requirements.
• Support and coordinate any as‑is/to‑be state of process work, identifying formal and informal business processes in the organisation, and obtaining the context in which the process is performed and the value generated.
• You will use the most appropriate tools and techniques to support the analysis, development, testing and implementation of the new system(s) and corresponding integrations.
• Create and maintain any materials that reinforce the transition to the desired business outcomes (e.g. business requirements documents, process flows, wireframes, data analysis, design specifications, test plans etc.).

Additional Responsibilities

• You will ensure the adherence to agreed governance standards and apply best practice approaches to assigned tasks.
• You will look for opportunities to make changes and recommendations to improve processes and encourage your peers to do the same.
• You will use a range of highly effective investigation techniques to identify, capture, analyse and validate requirements in an efficient way.
• You must be a self‑starter who is proactive and self‑motivated, someone who takes responsibility and pride in their work.
• You must be able to communicate at all levels in simplistic non‑technical terms, be comfortable to challenge scope and validate requirements at all times to achieve accuracy.

• Permanent hybrid ways of working where roles allow
• A wide range of development opportunities to support personal and professional growth
• Pension scheme with better‑than‑market employer contribution options
