Job description

Envitia operates at the heart of the UK’s most sensitive and high‑profile operations. Our approach is entirely mission‑focused, enabling customers to see more, decide faster, and act with confidence across complex domains.

We deliver situational awareness and information advantage across C5ISR, fusing cyber, geospatial, and kinetic data into an operational picture. This transforms fragmented data into a shared understanding of the battlespace, delivering actionable insight when it matters most.

Our solutions are secure‑by‑design, built from the ground up to protect sensitive information and ensure resilience in contested environments. We simplify complex heterogeneous data sources into a rich picture of fused intelligence, providing a digital backbone that underpins success.

We operate as small teams delivering fast value, blending deep technical expertise with agile methods to deliver measurable outcomes. Every engagement focuses on capability, clarity, and confidence for those who protect the nation.

• Collaborate with Product Owners and Agile teams to support sprint planning, backlog refinement and delivery alignment.
• Facilitate stakeholder engagement, workshops and forums to ensure shared understanding and effective decision‑making.
• Drive continuous improvement in Agile ways of working, governance and team collaboration.
• Act as a bridge between business, design, data and engineering teams, ensuring solutions align with user needs and operational context.
• Support testing and assurance activities by clarifying expected behaviours, acceptance criteria and business rules.
• Manage requirement changes, dependencies, risks and assumptions throughout the delivery lifecycle.

Skills Required

• Experience working within the UK Security & Intelligence, defence or other secure government environments.
• Strong background in business analysis, product management and Agile delivery, with the ability to operate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
• Proven ability to elicit, analyse and manage complex requirements, translating them into clear user stories, acceptance criteria and delivery artefacts.
• Experience managing and refining product backlogs, supporting prioritisation and aligning delivery to user needs and mission value.
• Solid understanding of Agile frameworks (e.g. Scrum, Kanban), including sprint planning, backlog refinement, reviews and retrospectives.
• Ability to engage and influence stakeholders, facilitating product discussions, workshops and delivery forums.
• Good awareness of working with software engineering, data, testing and DevOps teams within digital delivery environments.
• Experience in process mapping, workflow analysis and capturing business rules, with an emphasis on traceability and change control.
