• Capture, evaluate, challenge, and prioritise business requirements in collaboration with senior management, ensuring alignment with organisational strategy.
• Work with internal teams and external delivery partners to develop solution options and assess these against business and user needs.
• Prepare clear and robust business cases and investment proposals, articulating tangible benefits and opportunities for value optimisation.
• Act as the custodian of business requirements throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring solutions remain aligned with agreed outcomes.
• Apply knowledge of emerging trends, best practice, and innovative approaches to drive continuous improvement in business operations.
• Support business readiness activities, including process walkthroughs, testing, validation, and adoption planning.
• Collaborate with Information Managers to ensure alignment on data definitions and enterprise data models.

• Relevant qualifications or experience in business architecture, business analysis, process management, management information, or IT system development.
• Experience delivering business architecture solutions that reduce duplication and improve operational efficiency.
• Strong understanding of business change within complex, evolving environments.
• Expertise in business process analysis and design, including modelling and collaboration tools.
• Experience with Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) 2.0
