  • Ability to structure analysis using SWOT, MOST, or similar frameworks.
  • Strong knowledge of requirements elicitation, traceability, and change control tooling such as Jira, DOORS-type tools, or equivalents.
  • Understanding of process and system modelling, including BPMN, UML, TOGAF, or ArchiMate, and the ability to use these concepts alongside journey architecture to build a complete picture of an organisation.
  • Confidence working with data products and application programming interfaces; understanding of SQL or analytics tooling for sizing, validation, and system mapping.
  • Experience working in Agile teams, supporting ceremonies, and writing technical user stories.

  • Ability to maintain end-to-end requirements traceability and manage baselines, change requests, and impact assessments across lifecycle artefacts, supporting audits and verification and validation activities.
  • Ability to write and maintain business-editable decision tables and rules engines, ensuring versioned, tested rules can be managed by operations without a code release.

  • Develop a unified view spanning business, process, application, and data architecture by mapping journeys across customer interactions, workflow orchestration, case management, and shared services.
  • Analyse existing systems, integrations, and complex data flows to identify gaps, risks, overlapping capabilities, and manual data transfers.
  • Document current business and customer processes, design future states with stakeholders, and use data to quantify the difference.
  • Write user stories, acceptance criteria, and process definitions that developers can build from without guessing.
  • Support Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, and stand-ups, and assist with operational readiness and business change activities.
  • Coordinate testing activities, review test scripts, support defect triage, and drive user acceptance testing resolution.
  • Provide a common language for business leaders, product teams, architects, and delivery teams by focusing on how work moves through the organisation.
  • Facilitate stakeholder conversations and workshops to build buy-in, particularly when requirements do not align with strategic product objectives.
  • Use data to size problems, validate assumptions, and determine whether shipped changes delivered intended outcomes.
  • Keep stakeholders informed, manage scope conversations, and act as the delivery team's first point of contact for requirements-related issues.
Desired Qualifications
  • Exposure to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Microsoft Azure/Fabric, or Salesforce.
  • Experience working in highly regulated environments, such as Ministry of Defence, UK aerospace, or strict government sectors.
