• Translate priorities into realistic delivery plans and a healthy Azure DevOps backlog, facilitating Agile delivery activities and actively managing risks, dependencies, issues and impediments.
• Support testing, implementation and transition into service, while developing sufficient OT knowledge to contribute to lifecycle decisions, CAF evidence, NIS risk assessments and security compliance.

You have

• Significant experience as a Senior Product Analyst, Business Analyst or in a comparable role within a complex IT, OT, engineering or critical-infrastructure environment
• Demonstrable experience taking work through the full lifecycle from discovery and requirements through planning, testing, implementation and operational handover
• Strong requirements engineering and process-analysis skills, including user stories, use cases, functional and non-functional requirements, acceptance criteria and requirements traceability
• Experience providing Scrum Master or equivalent Agile team facilitation, supporting successful backlog delivery and helping remove impediments while maintaining focus on value-driven outcomes
