Junior Business Analyst

This is a new role to support transformation within Digital Services and across the wider University. Among the aims set out in our current Digital Strategy are: University systems and services that work first time, every time, which are responsive to students’ needs and present the most relevant information clearly and intuitively. Digital solutions, services and workflows that work in synergy with our excellent staff. Technology that supports staff in getting the job done, simplifies or even automates routine tasks, doesn’t get in the way, and liberates staff to deliver the best possible student experience. Over the last five years the University has made a significant investment in digital to support learning, teaching, and business activity. Over the last 12 months there has been a transformative shift in the way that we use and interact with technology. We have a fantastic opportunity to build further on those changes and we are looking to appoint a new Junior Business Analyst to join our small Programme Management Office team. You will proactively work with, and provide consultancy to, a wide variety of stakeholders to identify and distil requirements and articulate these clearly to decision makers and project teams for action. The role is involved at every stage of the project lifecycle to ensure that the solutions delivered are fit for purpose and smoothly transition to Business As Usual (BAU). You must be an excellent communicator, a team player and enthusiastic at meeting deadlines. Previous experience of working in an IT or project management environment is desirable.
