Job description

Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom | Posted on 29/09/2026

We are seeking an experienced Senior Business Analyst to bridge departmental business

needs and technical delivery for a Generative AI platform for a UK government department.

This role involves eliciting and translating complex requirements — spanning legacy

systems, multi-cloud integration, and Responsible AI constraints — into clear, actionable

specifications that engineering, product, and policy teams can build against.

Key Responsibilities

Requirements Elicitation & Analysis

Work with departmental stakeholders and subject matter experts to elicit, analyse, and

document business requirements for RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and their integration

with legacy and multi-cloud systems.

Process Mapping & Gap Analysis

Map current ("as-is") business processes and design future ("to-be") processes that reflect

how AI-assisted workflows will change how internal government users complete their tasks,

identifying gaps, risks, and dependencies along the way.

Translating Requirements into Delivery Artefacts

Convert business and user requirements into well-structured user stories, acceptance

criteria, and process/data flow diagrams that Product, Engineering, and UX teams can act on

directly.

Responsible AI & Guardrail Analysis

Analyse and document the business rules and process implications of guardrails and

human-in-the-loop checkpoints defined by policy/technical leads, ensuring they are captured

accurately in requirements — an analysis and documentation role, not a policy-setting one.

Stakeholder Facilitation

Facilitate workshops and requirements sessions across multiple internal government

stakeholders, managing competing priorities and building shared understanding across

business and technical audiences.

Evaluation & amp; Success Criteria Definition

Work with Product and Engineering to define measurable success criteria and evaluation

benchmarks (e.g. answer quality, retrieval accuracy, process efficiency gains) that link

business objectives to technical evaluation metrics.

Governance & Standards Compliance

Ensure requirements and business cases align with the GOV.UK Service Standard and

departmental governance processes, supporting evidence-gathering for service

assessments where required.

Documentation & amp; Handover

Contribute requirements documentation, process maps, and rationale to "Docs-as-Code"

artifacts supporting the OKUA knowledge-transfer framework, ensuring internal government

engineers can understand why features were built as they were.
