• Conduct stakeholder interviews and workshops to elicit and validate business requirements across multiple service lines.
• Support the design of solutions ensuring alignment with audit, financial reporting, and compliance obligations.
• Document business process flows, data mappings, and system interfaces for core systems such as Microsoft Business Central, Intapp, and CRM tools.
• Lead user acceptance testing (UAT) including the creation of test scripts, coordination of testing cycles, and resolution tracking.
• Develop user guides and operational documentation to support implementation and post-launch adoption.
• Contribute to business case development and benefit realisation tracking for system investments.
• Identify opportunities to streamline processes and enhance automation across finance, client onboarding, and reporting workflows.

• Exposure to system implementations such as Microsoft Dynamics, Intapp, or CCH/Business Central.
• Relevant certification (e.g. BCS Diploma in Business Analysis, IIBA CBAP, Agile BA) preferred.

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with an ability to interpret financial and operational data.
• Strong facilitation and stakeholder engagement abilities across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to develop clear business cases and quantify expected ROI for system initiatives.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication, producing clear documentation for executive and operational teams.
• Attention to detail and ability to manage multiple workstreams in a deadline-driven environment.
