Familiarity with Agile, Iterative and Waterfall delivery approaches. Bonus: knowledge of Jira/Confluence, Power BI, and experience with process mapping/UX support. The type of person who thrives here: Analytical but pragmatic - able to break down complexity into manageable steps. Confident in balancing technical detail with business context. Naturally collaborative, building strong working relationships across functions. Commercially aware, customer-obsessed, and motivated by driving measurable outcomes. If you're a BA who enjoys navigating complexity and making change stick , this is an opportunity to work at scale, directly shaping how technology and process change lands in a business that impacts millions of customers daily.
