We are seeking a highly autonomous and delivery-focused Senior Business Analyst to join our Circulation IT team on a fixed-term contract. In this role, you will operate as the sole BA on high-priority software development roadmap items, taking complete end-to-end ownership of the analysis and requirements lifecycle for your assigned projects.

Responsibilities:

- Act as the dedicated, standalone BA for assigned software development initiatives, managing the entire requirements lifecycle autonomously from discovery to deployment.

- Elicit, analyse, and translate complex business rules and user needs into clear, actionable requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.

- Actively lead stakeholder management across all phases of the project.

- Partner closely with the Project Managers to ensure projects align with overarching delivery goals.

- Leverage your PM experience to actively contribute to sprint and project planning, roadmap sequencing, and backlog grooming.

- Maintain strict adherence to project governance standards.

Requirements:

- Proven experience as a Business Analyst, specifically operating within Software Development lifecycles (SDLC).

- Demonstrated ability to work as the sole BA on complex software projects, driving initiatives forward independently as a self-starter.

- Highly developed stakeholder coordination skills.

- Expert proficiency in requirements elicitation, process modelling, user story mapping, and writing functional specifications.

- Hands-on experience transforming requirements into test scenarios, executing unit testing validation and independently driving complex UAT phases.

- Strong, practical experience with project management frameworks (Agile, Scrum, Waterfall).

Benefits:
