THE ROLE

You’ll be part of the Business Analyst team in Kerv Digital. 

At Kerv Digital, we help organisations unlock the power of technology to transform how they work, engage customers and drive business value.

With a strong focus on outcomes and real-world value, we make digital transformation feel tangible, purposeful and fast-moving. 

We are looking for a passionate Business Analyst to join us and support the delivery of digital transformation projects across our customer base.

• Gathering, analysing and documenting functional and non-functional requirements using appropriate techniques, both remotely and in person, within an Agile delivery environment. 

• Translating business requirements into clear user stories, acceptance criteria and backlog items. 

• Creating, refining and helping prioritise a structured delivery backlog alongside Product Owners, Solution Architects, developers and other delivery team members. 

• Understanding existing business processes and identifying opportunities for simplification, process improvement and automation. 

• Mapping current and future-state business processes and user journeys. 

• Capturing data requirements, business rules, validation requirements and dependencies. 

• Supporting the definition of digital user journeys, including internal users and external users accessing web-based services or portals. 

• Working with stakeholders to define requirements around forms, workflow, notifications, access, authentication and information capture where appropriate. 

• Influencing, managing and analysing a broad range of internal and external stakeholders. 

• Acting as a subject matter expert and champion for agreed business requirements throughout the delivery lifecycle. 

• Creating clear and effective documentation for both business and technical audiences. 

• Supporting sprint planning, backlog refinement, demonstrations, testing and User Acceptance Testing. 

• Ensuring requirements remain traceable from initial discovery through to implementation and acceptance. 

• Challenging requirements constructively to ensure that delivered functionality provides genuine business and user value. 

• Developing a working understanding of the capabilities and limitations of Microsoft Power Platform, including Power Apps, Power Pages, Power Automate and Dataverse, in order to work effectively with technical delivery teams. 

• Managing multiple priorities and helping ensure agreed delivery timescales are achieved. 

• Consultancy and public sector delivery experience would be desirable. 

• Active DV Clearance is a mandatory requirement for this role
