  • This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex business problems, working closely with stakeholders, and delivering enhancements for mission-critical enterprise systems.
  • The role is primarily focused on business analysis (80%), with Agile/Scrum facilitation (20%) to support structured delivery across multiple project releases.
  • You'll work alongside business users, project managers, architects, developers, system integrators, and vendors to ensure requirements are clearly defined, solutions are practical, and production releases are delivered successfully.

Responsibilities:

  • Supporting post-production implementation and issue resolution.

Stakeholder Management:

  • Build trusted relationships with business users, technical teams, vendors, and project managers.
  • Facilitate discussions to clarify ambiguous or evolving requirements.
  • Manage competing priorities across multiple stakeholders.
  • Negotiate practical solutions when business requests require technical trade-offs.
  • Drive alignment before development begins to minimise rework.

Agile Delivery:

  • Facilitating Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives.
  • Supporting backlog refinement and sprint readiness.
  • Identifying delivery risks and helping remove blockers.
  • Promoting structured Agile practices within a governance-driven environment.

Required Skills:

  • 5–8 years of IT delivery experience.
  • 3 years of business analysis experience.
  • Experience working on large enterprise or government IT projects.
