Business Analyst

Role Overview

We are looking for a Business Analyst specialising in CommonData Environments (CDE) and construction digitalisation to support a portfolioof client-facing products and construction technology ecosystems, includingplatforms such as Autodesk, Nemetschek, and LeapThought. This role sits at theintersection of business processes, information management, data standards, anddigital delivery-shaping how project, design, construction, asset, andoperational information flows through platform-enabled CDEs across the assetlifecycle.

You will work across multiple client projects, aligningdiverse stakeholder needs and operating models into structured, governed,traceable, and reusable information workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse and document end-to-end processes spanning:
• Planning, design, construction, project delivery, handover, asset management, and operations
• Define and maintain CDE information workflows, including:
• Governance controls, roles/responsibilities, and data ownership models across the asset lifecycle
• Establish information management requirements, including:
• Naming conventions, metadata standards, classification structures, approval states, retention rules, and lifecycle workflows
• Translate operational and information management needs into:
• Digital workflows and platform requirements across CDE and construction technology solutions
• Facilitate workshops with stakeholders across:
• Business, project teams, consultants, contractors, technical teams, and operations to align information exchanges and governance expectations
• Map current and future-state information flows to identify:
• Handoff gaps, duplication, manual workarounds, and opportunities to improve data quality and reuse
• Develop delivery-ready artefacts, including:
• User stories, functional requirements, acceptance criteria, process models, information exchange requirements, and traceability documentation
• Support Product Owners / Product Managers with:
• Backlog refinement, prioritisation, dependency management, and delivery planning across multiple client engagements
• Collaborate with architects, engineers, platform teams, and vendors to:
• Validate feasibility, integration needs, and alignment to enterprise data/technology standards
• Support testing, adoption, and continuous improvement by:
• Defining business scenarios, validating configured workflows, and monitoring operational outcomes

Required Skills & Experience

• Practical experience defining or improving:
• CDE processes, information workflows, governance models, or digital delivery practices in the built environment
• Strong understanding of how project and asset information is:
• Created, reviewed, approved, exchanged, handed over, and maintained across lifecycle stages
• Ability to document complex processes using:
• Process flows, swimlane diagrams, information flow maps, data models, or equivalent techniques
• Experience translating business/operational needs into:
• User stories, functional requirements, acceptance criteria, and implementable workflow specifications
• Strong stakeholder management and workshop facilitation skills across:
• Business users, project teams, consultants, contractors, and technical specialists
• Good understanding of information governance, including:
• Metadata, data ownership, quality controls, auditability, and traceability
• Experience supporting iterative delivery in:
• Agile or product-oriented environments
• Strong analytical and communication skills to explain:
• Information management concepts and delivery trade-offs to technical and non-technical audiences
• Comfortable working across:
• Business, construction, operations, information management, and technology domains in complex stakeholder environments

Preferred Skills

• Hands-on familiarity with one or more CDE/BIM/construction collaboration platforms (e.g., Autodesk, Nemetschek, LeapThought)
• Working knowledge of CDE principles and ISO 19650 concepts (e.g., information requirements, status/revision/suitability, approval workflows)
• Experience in construction, property development, facilities management, asset operations, or the wider built environment
• Familiarity with BIM, digital engineering, model/document coordination, and project-to-operations information handover
• Experience with business process modelling, service design, data mapping, or process improvement methods
• Understanding of systems integration, master data, APIs, reporting, or analytics within enterprise information ecosystems
• Familiarity with product delivery tools/methodologies (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence, SharePoint, Scrum, Kanban)
• Exposure to enterprise transformation, governance, compliance, or large-scale digitalisation initiatives across different client environments

What Success Looks Like

• Project, construction, handover, and operational information moves consistently across lifecycle stages with minimal rework or loss of context
• CDE governance, standards, ownership, and approval workflows are clearly understood and adopted across client stakeholders
• Business and information workflows are clearly documented, validated, and translated into scalable digital processes
• Data quality, completeness, traceability, and reuse improve across client products and CDE ecosystems
• Delivery teams have clear, testable requirements aligned to operational outcomes and information governance obligations
• Stakeholders spend less time resolving ambiguity, locating information, or reconciling inconsistent processes/data

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Process-oriented analyst who treats the product as the information lifecycle enabled through the platform-not just the software
• Able to move between construction delivery, asset operations, information governance, and digital product teams
• Strong at uncovering ownership, standards, and handoffs, and converting complex operational practices into scalable CDE workflows
