- Translate business and process-owner needs into technically actionable requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows, data mappings, and system configuration specifications.
- Own and support the business and technical configuration of bought SaaS, COTS, low-code/no-code, workflow, decisioning, integration, and reporting solutions, reducing reliance on external consultancy companies for future change.
- Work closely with process owners to ensure they can focus on review, approval, and operational ownership while the Technical Business Analyst prepares the detailed requirements, test planning, documentation, and change-management artefacts required for delivery.
- Support Quality Management and Computer Systems Validation activities by producing clear, traceable user requirements, test plans, test scripts, test evidence, defect records, validation documentation, and change-control records in line with SOPs and regulatory expectations.
- Plan, coordinate, and support UAT, integration testing, regression testing, configuration testing, and defect triage, ensuring testing is appropriately structured, documented, and executed.
- Configure, maintain, and promote effective use of SharePoint & Azure DevOps, or equivalent tooling (Confluence & Jira) to support requirements management, traceability, test management, release management, software development, systems change management, and audit readiness.
- Support project and programme management activities, including planning, delivery tracking, RAID management, stakeholder updates, dependency management, and coordination across business, technical, quality, and vendor teams.
- Analyse current business processes and systems, identify gaps, inefficiencies, risks, and improvement opportunities, and recommend pragmatic solutions that align with business needs, quality requirements, and technology strategy.
- Work with vendors and implementation partners to ensure requirements, configuration decisions, integrations, data flows, testing, and release plans are properly understood, documented, challenged, and controlled.
- Support API, data, reporting, workflow, automation, and integration analysis, including review of JSON, XML, OpenAPI/Swagger, SQL outputs, interface specifications, and system logs where required.
- Ensure requirements, change records, design decisions, test evidence, defects, and release documentation are maintained to a high standard and remain traceable from business need through to testing, approval, deployment, and post-implementation support.
- Provide early identification of defects, ambiguity, missing requirements, configuration risks, process-control weaknesses, and validation gaps before they become delivery or audit issues.
- Prepare and present analysis outputs, options, risks, progress updates, test outcomes, change impacts, and recommendations to senior stakeholders and project governance forums.
