Responsibilities Requirements Gathering & Analysis • Engage business stakeholders and users to understand business objectives, processes, pain points, and requirements. • Facilitate requirements gathering, clarification, and grooming workshops. • Analyse high-level business requirements, service journeys, user stories, and existing processes. • Break down high-level requirements into detailed functional requirements and system behaviours. • Identify requirement gaps, ambiguities, assumptions, dependencies, and business rules. • Maintain requirements traceability from business requirements through design, development, and testing. Business Process & Functional Design • Analyse and document current-state and future-state business processes. • Develop process flows, use cases, user journeys, functional flows, and system interaction diagrams. • Define business rules, decision logic, validations, exception handling, and processing scenarios. • Work with solution architects and technical teams to ensure functional requirements can be translated into appropriate technical solutions. • Prepare and maintain Functional Design Specifications (FDS) or equivalent functional documentation. User Stories & Acceptance Criteria • Develop and refine epics, features, user stories, and acceptance criteria where applicable. • Ensure requirements are sufficiently detailed and testable before development. • Support estimation and planning by clarifying functional scope and dependencies. • Work with developers and testers during implementation to address requirement clarifications. Integration & Data Requirements • Define system interface and integration requirements with relevant teams. • Analyse input/output data requirements, field mappings, validations, and processing rules. • Support interface specification reviews and identify upstream/downstream dependencies. • Clarify API, batch, file, or system integration behaviours from a functional perspective. Testing & Implementation Support • Support QA and UAT teams in developing test scenarios and ensuring requirement coverage. • Review test cases against functional requirements and acceptance criteria. • Support defect triage and determine whether issues are defects, requirement gaps, or change requests. • Provide functional clarification during SIT and UAT. • Support implementation readiness, cutover, and post-production validation where required. Stakeholder & Documentation Management • Act as the functional bridge between business and technology teams. • Manage requirement clarifications, decisions, assumptions, dependencies, and open issues. • Coordinate with business users, technical teams, external systems, and vendors. • Ensure functional documentation remains current throughout the delivery lifecycle. • Support requirements walkthroughs, design reviews, and stakeholder sign-offs. Requirements Required Skills & Experience • Experience as a Business Analyst, Functional Analyst, System Analyst, or similar role in IT system implementation projects. • Strong requirements elicitation and analysis skills. • Ability to translate business requirements into detailed functional specifications. • Good understanding of the software development lifecycle. • Experience documenting business and functional requirements, process flows, business rules, user stories, acceptance criteria, functional specifications, and interface requirements. • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. • Good stakeholder management and communication skills. • Ability to work effectively with business users, architects, developers, testers, and project managers. Good-to-Have Skills • Experience with large-scale enterprise implementation. • Familiarity with Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid delivery methodologies. • Experience with BPMN, UML, or other process modelling techniques. • Basic understanding of REST APIs, system integrations, databases, and data mapping. • Experience supporting SIT, UAT, production implementation, and defect management.
