• Conduct analysis work to a consistently high standard within a range of business areas, producing output to agreed timescales, and standards.
• Support the definition of delivery plans, providing input into end‑to‑end delivery plans to ensure business value is delivered in a timely manner.
• Conduct analysis work to understand current state processes and to identify the "To Be" future state operating models through process and technology.
• Support the identification of relationships, dependencies and impacts of change (highlighting options) on multiple systems, products, and business processes.
• Contribute to the project as required to develop proposals, requirements, or other project documentation.
• Elicit further requirements and test / challenge assumptions using a variety of methods including interviews, document analysis, workshops, and business process descriptions.
• Support, as required, the definition of testing scenarios and coordination of testing with other business stakeholders, including Support functions, to ensure 'to be' processes are working as expected.
