Job description

At Pragma, we provide the opportunity for individuals to enjoy their working lives as much as their home lives. We foster a team environment in which each individual is recognised, valued and developed to support our company strategy. We encourage people with disabilities and diverse backgrounds to apply.

The Business Analyst is responsible for understanding business problems and coordinating solutions within the software development team. The role requires key business analysis skills, including stakeholder management, requirements engineering and problem-solving. The role also requires a sufficient level of technical and domain knowledge to allow the analyst to operate as a facilitating ‘hub’ for the whole development team.

The analyst isn’t necessarily responsible for designing or implementing a solution. Instead, the business analyst’s job is to ensure that the designed and delivered solutions are aligned with the needs of the stakeholders and/or clients. The analyst should be able to obtain a good understanding of business requirements and through a structured process be able to translate these requirements into business requirements and functional specifications.
